Answer 1

SELECT CONVERT (date, GETDATE())

MSDN

Answer 2

This one is for Sql Server 2000:

SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, FLOOR(CONVERT(FLOAT, GETDATE())))

Answer 3

Try:

  OrderDate =  CONVERT(varchar, GETDATE(), 101)

wich returns the date in format mm/dd/yyyy, or choose a convertion format from here.

Answer 4

This is a classic question for Sql Server versions previous 2008:

SELECT Book_ID, BookName,Author,BookPrice 
FROM Book INNER JOIN FavCategory ON Book.Category_ID = FavCategory.Category_ID 
WHERE FavCategory.User_ID = " + useridlabel.Text + " 
AND CONVERT(nvarchar, OrderDate, 111) = CONVERT(nvarchar, GETDATE(), 111)

Depending on the code (111) you put at the end you can format the date for the zone where you are.

Answer 5

SELECT DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()))
