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

Convert it back to datetime after converting to date in order to keep same datatime if needed

select Convert(datetime, Convert(date, getdate())  )
