SQL 将日期转换为 yyyy-mm-dd

Question

How would you convert a date in the format of:

2012-10-16 07:44:22.000

to this format:

2012-10-16

And no just making the varchar(10) wont work as this question suggests, because I have to compare them and I can't do it with that method. Also nowhere does it give me the value to do that type of conversion.

This is as close as I've come:

declare @DATE DATETIME = '2012-10-16 00:00:000'
SELECT  Convert(varchar(20), @DATE,105) 

Result = 16-10-2012

Answer 1

declare @DATE DATETIME = '2012-10-16 00:00:000'
SELECT  REPLACE(Convert(varchar(20), @DATE,102), '.', '-')
