You need to use some functions to get what you want.  Assuming this is
SQL Server 2000...(Should be similar for other implementations.)

SELECT
    CONVERT(varchar(10), dateColumn, 105) AS dateColumn
    ,COUNT(CONVERT(varchar(10), dateColumn, 105)) AS dateCount
FROM
    TableName
WHERE
    dateColumn IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY
    CONVERT(varchar(10), dateColumn, 105)
ORDER BY
    dateColumn

Subject: dumb sql question

I want to count the number of orders per day, where the datetime
property has, obviously, a date and time. I want to ignore the time and
just get a sum based on date. I know this is simple, but it's been a
real long day.
