Which Transact-SQL query should you use?

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()))

Explanation:
To compare a time with date we must use >= and > operators, and not the = operator.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The in WHERE clause there is an incorrect comparison between time and a date, as equality (=) is used.
