title: Obtain date without timestamp in DB2
body: <p>Please pardon my ignorance if I have missed any documentation/solution for the same. But I searched the web and could not find an answer. </p>
  
  <p>I have a simple question. In the DB2 table,I have a column of type date and the with data of format 04/25/2013 12:00:00AM . When I query the DB2 database, I want to obtain just the date and not the timestamp i.e to obtain "04/25/2013" and not "04/25/2013 12:00:00AM". I tried DATE(column name) and just gave back the complete value including the time stamp.</p>
