title: JPA: Convert date from one format to another
body: <p>I am passing an argument of type <em>DATE</em>, and I need to compare it with a column in the DB which has the date format <code>MM-DD-YY: HH:MM:SS</code>, but I don't need the <code>HH:MM:SS</code> to be considered. What sort of JPA query would do this?</p>
