get todays date and a certain time

[AKorsakova]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to write something to give me back all the data for a
sertain time range for today.
So for example: I need to get all records where change_date is <= today
2pm and today at 8pm.
I know i can get just the date for today by using
CONVERT(CHAR(10),getdate(),102) but can i add a time range to that?

Thanks in advance,
Anna

You can use DATEADD, for example:

SELECT DATEADD(hour,14,CONVERT(CHAR(10),getdate(),102))

Hi Anna,

Use either

CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(CHAR(10), getdate(), 126) + 'T14:00:00')

or

DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, getdate()), '14:00:00')

to get current date with a time of 2PM.
