How to select date without time in SQL

Question

When I select date in SQL it is returned as 2011-02-25 21:17:33.933. But I need only the Date part, that is 2011-02-25. How can I do this?

Answer 1

In case if you need the time to be zeros like 2018-01-17 00:00:00.000:

SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()), 121)
