DateTime without the time

Hi,

Im moving data from a OLE DB Source to a Flat File Destination.

I have a DateTime field in my database.

My current query returns:
2007-05-21 00:00:00

How can I make it return:
2007-05-21

Thank you!!

Use a derived column to cast the field to DT_DBDATE...

(DT_DBDATE)[YourDateTimeField]|||

I′ve modified the query so it returns only the date.

However, the Flat File Destination always changes it back to a DateTime.

Yes, you need to define the data type of that column to DT_DBDATE in the flat file connection manager.|||My SQL server destination changes back to DT_DBtimestamp.....in my sql table it has datatype of datetime....but I do not want to display the Time.....just the date....any ideas?|||

Displaying just the time is a simple transact-sql statement using the CONVERT function.

Can you use a SQL Command in your source?

If so, use CONVERT(varchar, <dateField>, 112) in your select list

Still if that's in your source query, you can't store it that way -- not in SQL Server anyway. (Unless you're storing it in a varchar field.)
