SQL date help



Mornin' everyone
I know I've seen a couple of articles dealing with dates in SQL, but I am
going nuts in trying to locate them.(Some would say I'm already there)
Anyway, what I have is a file with a timestamp as one of the fields on the
record showing the date that the record was created. What I want to do in
SQL, is obtain todays date as a timestamp, subtract 1 week (7 days) from
that date and make that timestamp be midnight on that, then delete all
records on the file with a timestamp of less than the calculated timestamp.
If anyone can either help me out as to how to obtain todays date in SQL, it
would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
