Redshift Date & Time to Date Syntax
Hi,
I have a column in my redshift table that is stored as date and time ie
6/3/2016 9:23:42 PM
When creating the database, I would like to store only the date. What is the syntax for doing this?

Casting usually works fairly well for true Datetime columns.

Example:
Cast("Datetime Column" as Date)

In Redshift there is a function called TRUNC that strips the timestamp:

Using the TRUNC function has been the best solution in my experince for this.
