asked on
sql select where date is equal to or less than today
this isn't quite working
where t2.actionDate <= DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
I want to select where t2.actiondate is less than or equal to today, ignoring hours, minutes and seconds on both sides of the comparison
where t2.actionDate <= DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE()), 0)

first one:
>>DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE()), 1)
returns you starting of tomorrow so it checks dates less than or equal to today.
second one: converts dates to yyyymmdd format on both sides and checks.
