how to store only date instead of date with time in sql server 2005 with 2008
plz help i am short on time quick

Solution 3

If you plan to store date only , then you have to make your datatype as varchar. In datetime you cant store only date. If you pass only date it autometically place 12.00 as a default time.

Solution 2

Added to Partik's answer in .Net the DateTime object's toShortDateString() gives you a date only string and if you want it in specific format the you can use the ToString method with specific format. Example ToString("yyyy/M/dd")

through this only in asp.net date will be ready but how to store it in sqlserver 2005

If your sql table column is of type 'date' then you can pass this string in your insert/ update query. Are you asking about how to formulate the query and execute in asp.net?

in sqlserver 2005 there is no date datatype there is datetime only i have modify the question so check it out n give the solution thanx..

Albin Abel 1-May-11 15:46pm

You are right. Sql server 2008 supports a date type. In that case you can store that dummy time string, but trim it while retrieving. Alternatively instead of storing datetime, convert the date to timestamp (millseconds) and store. While retrieving convert back to date. You want to store only date part, but you haven't explained why you want that?. When you modify your question add explanation why you want that. So you may get good suggestions. Good luck
