'DATE' is not a recognized built-in function name

Question

I wish to find all records of the current day. I have a field Date of type DATE. I am getting error on sql server

'DATE' is not a recognized built-in function name.

on this line

(DATE(EnterDate) = CURDATE() )

Answer 1

As the error states, there is no DATE function in SQL Server 2008 or 2012 (you tagged both so I'm not sure which you're targeting). You can, however, cast to a date type in SQL Server 2008 and above:

WHERE EnterDate = CONVERT(date,GETDATE())

Note that there's no CURDATE function either, so I've translated that to GETDATE()

Answer 2

Use the following condition in your where cluase

WHERE CAST(DateColumn AS DATE) = CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)
              ^------------ Your Column Name with `Date` or 'DateTime'  data type

CURDATE() is a mysql function, In Sql-Server we have GETDATE() function to get current date and time.
