Converting time to day

Hi All,
I am pretty new to sql server. I have a table with a column which has
data in form of time,e.g.:
2006-10-15 08:06:29.000
I want to select data from the table using only date part of the time
(I want to group the data by day)
Can you please help me?
Thanks.
You can use the Floor() function.

|||You can use CONVERT to change datetime formats. To return or
group by just the date, something along the lines of:
convert(char(10), YourDateColumn, 101)

|||One method is with DATEADD/DATEDIFF:
SELECT DATEADD(day,0,DATEDIFF(day,0,('20061015 08:06:29.000')))
Hope this helps.
