---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Following statement will return the date, month and year.
SELECT DATEADD(dd,0, DATEDIFF(dd,0,GETDATE()))
Result : 2010-02-03 00:00:00.000

SELECT LEFT(DATEADD(Day,0, DATEDIFF(Day, 0, GETDATE())), 12)
Result : Feb 3 2010

The following statement will return only date.
SELECT DATEPART(Day, GETDATE())

Result : 3

The Following statement will return the day-number for the week.
SELECT DATEPART(dw, GETDATE())
Result : 4

The Following statement will return day name of the week.
SELECT DATENAME(dw, GETDATE())

Difference between two dates (number of days between two dates). You can use 'd' or 'dd' instead of 'Day'
SELECT DATEDIFF(Day, '2010-01-01', GETDATE())
Result : 33

Difference between two dates (number of months between two dates)
SELECT DATEDIFF(Month, '2010-01-01', GETDATE())

Result : 1

Difference between two dates (number of minutes between two dates)
SELECT DATEDIFF(Minute, '2010-01-01', GETDATE())
Result : 48531
SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL(5,2), DATEDIFF(Second, '2010-02-01 10:55:00.000', '2010-02-01 19:58:10.498')/60.00)

Result : 543.17

Difference between two dates (number of seconds between two dates)
SELECT DATEDIFF(Second, '2010-01-01', GETDATE())

Result : 2911914

Difference between two dates (number of years between two dates)
SELECT DATEDIFF(Year, '2010-01-01', GETDATE())

Result : 0

SELECT Day2-Day1 FROM (
SELECT
Day1=CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-01 05:47:53.497'),
Day2=CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-01 06:47:10.420')) Date

Result : 1900-01-01 00:59:16.923

SELECT
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),
CASE WHEN(
DATEDIFF(hh, CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-01 01:00:53.497'),
CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-02 23:59:59.497')) >= 24)
THEN
DATEDIFF(hh, CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-01 01:00:53.497'),
CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-02 23:59:59.497'))-24
ELSE
DATEDIFF(hh, CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-01 01:00:53.497'),
CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-02 23:59:59.497'))
END)
+
SUBSTRING(CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),
DATEADD(mi, DATEDIFF(Minute, CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-01 01:00:53.497'),
CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-02 23:59:59.497')),
DATEADD(s, DATEDIFF(Second, CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-01 01:00:53.497'),
CONVERT(DATETIME, '2010-02-02 23:59:59.497')), 0)), 109), 15, 6) as 'HH:MM:SS'

Result : 22:58:06
