Your database contains a table named Purchases. The table includes a DATETIME column named PurchaseTime that stores the date and time each purchase is
made. There is a non- clustered index on the PurchaseTime column. The business team wants a report that displays the total number of purchases made on the
current day. You need to write a query that will return the correct results in the most efficient manner.
Which Transact-SQL query should you use?
A.
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Purchases
WHERE PurchaseTime = CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE())
B.
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Purchases
WHERE PurchaseTime = GETDATE()
C.
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Purchases
WHERE CONVERT(VARCHAR, PurchaseTime, 112) = CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(), 112)
D.
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Purchases
WHERE PurchaseTime >= CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE())
AND PurchaseTime <DATEADD(DAY, 1, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()))
