Return only the Date from a SQL Server DateTime

On SQL Server 2008 and higher, you should CONVERT to date:

SELECT CONVERT(date, getdate())

On older versions, you can do the following:
SELECT DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, @your_date))

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

gives me
2008-09-22 00:00:00.000
