datetime query

my database contains 1 field with "datetime" in sql server
hw can i query the database to just compare the date section of that field ? and not the time
WHERE CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),datecolumn,101) >= '08/06/2005'
|||Although Dinakar's suggestion will work, it will not perform as well as something like this:

WHERE datecolumn >= '20050806' AND datecolumn < '20050807'

When you perform a function on a column (such as CONVERT) this willmake the query non-sargable and will therefore not take advantage of anindex on the column.
