hi friends, I am having a problem with datetime datatype of sqlserver. for a specific database (let's assume database name ABC) i want my date cycle to start from 6:00 Am rather than 00:00AM. i.e. i want my date to start from 6:00 AM from tomorning to 5:59 AM of next date. e.g if todat is 22 APR 2009 then my previous date was 22 APR 2009 5:59 AM and todays date will after 1 minute is 22 APR 2009 6:00 AM. So anyhow can i change the date evaluation cycle of the database.
