  i am querying a date field, it is a smalldate, not null field. The date format in this field is below, i have tried different converts, cast to get date converted to this format but nothing is working. What i tried returns the date but in the time returns the actual time, the field i am querying the time for all records is zeros.

  date format in field

  210-08-03 00:00:00

  What i tried

  SELECT CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(varchar, GETDATE(), 110))

  SELECT CAST(GETDATE() AS SMALLDATETIME)

  There are several ways that you can accomplish this. Probably the most straightforward is the following.

  SELECT CAST(CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) AS SMALLDATETIME)
