how to get current/Todays date data in sql server

Question

how to write query to get today's date data in SQL server ?

select * from tbl_name where date = <Todays_date>

Answer 1

The correct answer will depend of the exact type of your datecolumn. Assuming it is of type Date :

select * from tbl_name 
where datecolumn = cast(getdate() as Date)

If it is DateTime:

select * from tbl_name 
where cast(datecolumn as Date) = cast(getdate() as Date)
