I'm using SQL Server Compact.
To get a date without the time, I do this:
CAST(FLOOR(CAST(GETDATE() AS FLOAT)) AS DATETIME);
To insert a new record, where the date is the smallest from another table, I do this:
INSERT INTO [Product] ([OrderDate], [Name])
SELECT TOP(1) [OrderDate], 'Widget' FROM [OtherProduct];
How do I combine those two ideas? I want something like this, but it doesn't work:
INSERT INTO [Product] ([OrderDate], [Name])
SELECT CAST(FLOOR(CAST(TOP(1) [OrderDate] AS FLOAT)) AS DATETIME), 'Widget' FROM [OtherProduct];
The error:
There was an error parsing the query. [ Token in error = TOP ]
we have to specify TOP(1)
on right place
INSERT INTO [Product] ([OrderDate], [Name])
SELECT TOP(1) CAST(FLOOR(CAST([OrderDate] AS FLOAT)) AS DATETIME), 'Widget' FROM [OtherProduct];
