title: Comparing date values of CURDATE() with a full timestamp field
body: <p>I have a function that is placing timestamp values (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) into <code>META_VALUE</code> column of table <code>META</code>.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is to compare whether the date portion (YYYY-MM-DD) of the <code>META_VALUE</code> is equal to today (CURDATE()), disregarding the hour, minute and second (HH:MM:SS).</p>
  
  <p>How can I accomplish this?</p>
