How can I store only the date portion of the datetime. Today property to a SQL Server table datetime column?

I am trying to update a datetime column in a SQL Server 2012 table by using
newItem.DateSaved = DateTime.Today;
I want to save only the Date part of DateTime, but when I am checking in the table I can see that it saves also the time part: 2018-07-27 00:00:00.000 .
How I can make it to store only date part? 2018-07-27 ?
Edit
Because my column is datetime, I see that I can't store only the date part. But how I can show to the user only the date part without time? Here is the select part of the Linq-to-SQL query:
select new { Date = smv.DateSaved.Value.Date }).Distinct();

A datetime column always has a time part - just, in your case it will all be zeros. A datatime is just a number under the hood; it doesn't have any choice about what it has / doesn't have; similarly, it doesn't have any notion of formatting until your code tries to display it, and then it is the dispalying code that chooses the format.
If you don't want a time part, use date instead of datetime for your column.

Change column type in SQL Server from datetime to date (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/data-types/date-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017)

If you want to store only the date without time in SQL Server database you can set the column type to date
ALTER TABLE table_name
ALTER COLUMN DateSaved date;
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/data-types/date-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017
If you have a DateTime property in your model and you want to show only the date part just format it in your control in the View. For example:
$"{newItem.DateSaved:yyyy-MM-dd}"
or
newItem.DateSaved.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
You can also use "d" or "D" (short and long version) instead of specific format like "yyyy-MM-dd" if you want to have default formatting.
If your view is written in HTML or XAML do it there using the same formatting technique.

It is because your field on the database is DateTime. If you want to store just date, you should have a field with date data type. In this link, you can see the difference between the date data types.

mysql DATE range BETWEEN Query

I have some very odd behaviour from a MySQL query in my C# application which is pulling rows from a Table called project_info. It should retrieve all the Rows which Equal the Customer's Name, and the project start date is BETWEEN the DATE range in the query. The current query I am using works but the date range appears to behave very oddly...
For example if I have a Row in my Table which contains a project for Customer 'WHSmith' and they have a project with a start date of '30/07/2018' when I search with a date range BETWEEN 18/06/2018 AND 01/08/2018 the query returns no results, but if I repeat the query using a date range BETWEEN 18/06/2018 AND 02/08/2018 the Row is returned???
The query I currently have is:
SELECT * FROM project_info WHERE cust_name = "WHSmith" AND proj_date BETWEEN 2018-06-18 AND 2018-08-01;
The date is stored as a DATE field in the table so no Time is included in the query or the value... The cust_name and dates are held in variables within my application but I have checked these are correct and seem OK.
Does anyone have any idea why the BETWEEN query is behaving so oddly? or maybe suggest a better way to look for Row's in a DATE range... many thanks.

Using all the dates in a given table

I've been currently working on a stored procedure that grabs all the clients I have in the database that have loans. How I'm filtering the results is by the start and end dates given when generating the data. The way my data works is that the returned table will have multiple date fields, 9 date fields to be precise. Each of these date fields are used depending on the LoanStatus field that is also a part of this table. LoanStatus can have values such as Settled, Approved, Cancelled.. What I want to do is to filter the results using this start and end date but applying it to all of the date fields
In my head I've got a couple of pseudo ways to possibly work this issue out:
First Possible Solution
Need some code that'll allows me to essentially do this:
allDatefields > #startDate AND allDatefields < #endDate.
Second Possible Solution
Is to only take into consideration the date field that matches with the loan status. For example, if the LoanStatus is Settled, then look at the DateSettled column of the table, or if the LoanStatus is Approved, then look at the ApprovalDate column of the database.
Personally, I would love to be able to filter through and apply the #startDate and #endDate to all date fields rather than have to look at each date seperately.
Is there a way in SQL Server to apply a WHERE clause to all date fields in a table?

To my knowledge, the where clause does not support your first scenario. I think you might have to settle for something like this:
(LoanStatus = 'Approved' and ApprovalDate > #startDate AND ApprovalDate < #endDate) OR (LoanStatus = 'Settled' and SettleDate > #startDate AND SettleDate < #endDate) OR ... same for the rest of loan status values

How do I automatically get date when I create a new row in my SQL table?

I am doing a project in school, I have to create a website tool for salesmen to fill what they have done during the day, i.e. amount of quotes, quote sum, orders, order sum etc. I am using Visual Studio 2010, ASP.NET with C# with a SQL database.
I have to create a table with different columns, that I know how. But what I need is to have a column called Date and it has the datatype date. I need it to be filled automatically without having to input it manually. The same date that the new information was added. I have searched for solution in google and other places but I think I am searching with the wrong keywords, hopefully you can help me.
The format I wish for the date to be is DD-MM-YYYY

When you look for SQL default date on Google, the second result you get is this one.
In there, you have a default date example:
CREATE TABLE Orders
(
O_Id int NOT NULL,
OrderNo int NOT NULL,
P_Id int,
OrderDate date DEFAULT GETDATE()
)
using the DEFAULT keyword.

Create a sql datetime column in the database, and specify a default value of GetDate() or GetUtcDate() depending on which you want. Format is irrelevant on the input side; you will have to use a formatter on the select side (or in your c# code).

You can set the default value for the column as current date time..
create table tblname (
fieldname datetime default getdate()
)
Also see this question
Add default value of datetime field in SQL Server to a timestamp

You can use one of this to insert in the table instead.
String s = System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy");
DateTime now = System.DateTime.Now;
The second one would be your choice because the type specified in yur table is Date.
If don't want to be setting it from the app, specify which database you are using to get a specific answer.

Jquery Date picker toDateTime

I am working on a project in which i am using Jquery Datepicker to select to and from date to filter records,
I have DateTime field in my Database table and on selecting date from datepicker i am doing ajax call,
the problem is arising is that in my database i have records with time(eg: 2009-08-08 13:12:23.143)
and from datepicker i am having record without time(ie 2009-08-08), I have converted it to DateTime but still i am having same record, Because of this difference my query returns null result, Can any one suggest how to handle this?
Regards

Use only the date part of DateTime object (if you do not want to consider time) for filter... in your where clause of query, do like this
where (#pDate is null or CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), Date,111) between CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #pStartDate,111) and CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #pEndDate,111))
