SQL converting datetime to shortdate

I’ve a table where I need to select the posts with the latest date. Problem is that when you get the latest date it also gets it by the hour, meaning that it will try to fetch everything older or equal to the date + time, which is nothing. There for, I need to make it a shortdate so I can fetch everything that was posted on that day.

The following code will set the variabel to the latest date on the table.

DECLARE @latestDate as datetime
SET @latestDate = (SELECT postDate from table where postDate = (Select max(postDate) from table))

This will return Jan 20 2009 6:45PM

Then all I need to add to my SELECT is

CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), @latestDate, 101)

This will return 01/20/2009
