How to Remove Time from Current Date Function in SQL Query?

How to Remove Time from Current Date Function in SQL Query?

Hi,

I'm writing a query that counts rows where the value in a date column is equal to today. When I use getdate(), today(), current_date(), etc I get a total of 0, because all of those functions return the exact current date and time, whereas the values in my date column are just dates with no time. For example:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM table_name
WHERE date_column = today()

How can I make the today() function, or any other current date function, return just today's date with no time?

Thanks

                                                                                                                  Hello Zoho CRM, How do I update "Lead Status" to more than 100 records at once? To give you a background, these leads were uploaded or Imported at once but the lead status record was incorrectly chosen. So since there was a way to quickly add records in the system no matter how many they are, we are also wondering if there is a quicker way to update these records to the correct "Lead Status". I hope our concern makes sense and that there will be a fix for it. All the best, Jonathan

I discovered the composite item bundling and am wondering if I could get some assistance since there is no bill of materials: Our herbal company's best selling tea is a sleepytime tea.
