Dates without Times

I have a view that I'm building in which I need to get all records that have
an InvoicedDate in in the past 30 days. So basically I set up part of the
where clause as:
(InvoicedDate >= DATEADD(d, - 30, GETDATE()))
Which doesn't work because the function returns a date and a time, whereas
I'm only storing dates in the InvoicedDate field. So, long story short, it
doesn't get the dates from exactly 30 days ago. I could roll some kind of
hack where I add one I guess, but that seems really hokey. What's a better
way to accomplish this?
Thanks!
JamesTry:
invoiceddate >= DATEADD(D,- 30,CONVERT(CHAR(8),CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,112
))

--|||Try,
datepart(mm,createdate) >= DATEADD(d, - 30, datepart(mm,GETDATE()))
Message posted via http://www.droptable.com|||I meant:
where datepart(mm,InvoiceDate) >=datepart(mm,GETDATE() - 30)
Might work better. I just tried it on our call records table (30m) and it c
ame back in .0000 seconds with the results for top 100.
