How to select records from last 24 hours using SQL?

Question

I am looking for a where clause that can be used to retrieve records for the last 24 hours?

Answer 1

Which SQL was not specified, SQL 2005 / 2008

SELECT yourfields from yourTable WHERE yourfieldWithDate > dateadd(dd,-1,getdate())

If you are on the 2008 increased accuracy date types, then use the new sysdatetime() function instead, equally if using UTC times internally swap to the UTC calls.
