Get row where datetime column = today - SQL server noob

Question

In sql 2005, instead of building a query from dateparts year, month and date,

is there an more succinct way of writing the where clause?

Answer 1

Something along the lines of this

CONVERT(date,tbldata.date)=CONVERT(date,getdate())

This assumes that the date column includes the time as well. If it does not then you can change it to

tbldata.date=CONVERT(date,getdate())
