date

For datetime fields, casts the value as date. Allows chaining additional field lookups. Takes a date value.

Example:

Entry.objects.filter(pub_date__date=datetime.date(2005, 1, 1))
Entry.objects.filter(pub_date__date__gt=datetime.date(2005, 1, 1))

(No equivalent SQL code fragment is included for this lookup because implementation of the relevant query varies among different database engines.)

When USE_TZ is True, fields are converted to the current time zone before filtering. This requires time zone definitions in the database.
