Default Comparing DATE with TIMESTAMP fields possible ? - 02-09-2005 , 04:13 PM






In my database table there is a datetime column which can obviously contain a timestamp
(in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.NNN).

Now I want to get all those records which have a date of lets say 2005-02-03 regardsless of
their time value.

Ok, I could do this by statement like

SELECT * FROM MYTAB WHERE MYDATE >= '2005-02-03 00:00:00.000' AND MYDATE <= '2005-02-03 23:59.59.999'

but this is rather inconvenient. I feel that there must be a shorter version like

SELECT * FROM MYTAB WHERE MYDATE = '2005-02-03 **:**:**.***'

or a built-in fuction like:

SELECT * FROM MYTAB WHERE datepartonly(MYDATE) = '2005-02-03'

How does this work?

George
