How can I convert a SQL date/time to just date?

A. The SQL date/time field stores a date and time but if you have a populated table and you want to convert a column so it lists data only run the following:update where =convert(datetime,convert(char(10),,101))For exampleupdate faqwhere created=convert(datetime,convert(char(10),created,101))
