SQL QUERY Help Please.. (Comparing Dates)
Dec 1, 1998
hi,
i would like to create an SQL query, part of which involves comparing dates.
i have something like
Select ID, CONVERT(varchar(10), StartDate, 101), Name from Table WHERE StartDate .....
how can i compare the StartDate to something i have in the form of a string? for example, i have
Date = 12/12/1998. and i would like to select where the StartDate in the DB = '12/12/1998'.
i'd appreciate all the help i can get.
thanks,
sb

Hi,
I have a table that temporarily stores information. Before I insert new data in the table, I want to delete the previous day's data.
This is the query I'm using
Code:
q="DELETE FROM SearchTemp WHERE theDate < "&Date()
set RS2 = DB.Execute(q, ra, adCmdText)
I should say I'm using ASP & VBScript.
Problem is, this isn't deleting the previous day's dates.
The dates are stored in this format: m/d/yyyy.
I've searched through old posts but none of the solutions offered have worked for me so far. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hello,
I am trying to retrieve the data that are not more than 3 months. How do I do this? The closest thing that I can do is...
(dbo.CLASSIFIEDADS.PostDate > CONVERT(DATETIME, '2006-03-26 00:00:00', 102))
I want to be able to put 3 months in there somehow...
Thanks in Advance!

I am wondering how I would create a SELECT that will select the most recent date from one of two tables. For example, table1 has a field called LastUpdate and table 2 has a field called LastUpdate. I need to grab only the most recent date. I tried this using an inner join...but that didn't work because it only picks the lastupdate form one table only. talbe1 and table2 are tied by table2.table1id.
Can anyone help?

Hi All,
I have a database field (datestamp) which returns the date the records were inserted into the database. The datestamp was created with the now(); function in .net and is in the following format: 5/23/2006 2:27:45 AM
I basically want to return all records that were inputted more than 28 days ago. I have had alook though some other posts and below is the closest query that i could find but unfortunately it does not work for me.
SELECT id, datestampFROM table WHERE datestamp > DateAdd(d, 28, GetDate())
Thanks in advance,
Jake

How do i compare 2 dates without comparing their Time portions. I have a Datetime column in my table which for example has values :-
6/6/2001 7:23:42 PM
6/6/2001 8:01:08 PM and so on....
I have a Stored Procedure in which i am trying to fetch values from this table. The SP has 2 DateTime parameters @DateFrom and @Dateto. This SP is called from a Web page. On the Web Page the user just enters mm/dd/yyyy values for the 2 Date parameters. Therefore the Time portions defaults to 12:00 AM. So when the user passes 6/6/2001 as Date From and 6/6/2001 as Date To values, he doesn't get back the 2 records mentioned above since the Time portion makes the 2 records fall out of the date range.
Is there a way to just do a comparison on the Date portions i.e. give me all the records for 6/6/2001 irrespective of the time. I don't wan't to do individual comparisons for Day then Month and then Year.
Thanks
Sanjay.

Hi, i got this query below, which I'd like to use to compare two sets of date...
select count(*) as rec, convert(char(6),dateEntered,13) as dateEntered from EmailTracker where chtype = '1' AND convert(char(12),dateEntered,13) >= '"& stdate &"' AND convert(char(12),dateEntered,13) <= '"& endate &"' group by convert(char(6),dateEntered,13)
the format of the stdate and dateEntered (a datetime datatype) looks like - 25 Aug 2005
right now, the query simply uses the first 2 letters of the date to fetch the record. That would not do the job as i want the thing to compare the whole lot! not just the 1st two letters...
Any help pls?

Does anyone know of a quick and easy to compare 2 datetime values based only on the month and year.
For example,
FromDate = 11/30/2004
ToDate = 12/30/2004
I just need to compare the 11/2004 to 12/2004 using function like <=, =, >=, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I will try to explain my problem as best as possible without going into too much detail.
Basically I have two tables,
AgentSchedule
AgentPunchData
These tables both contain agent names.
The schedule table has a column called "SHEND" which is a DATETIME datatype which identifies when an agent shift should end.
The entries all have a date attached which means nothing, for example "12/30/1899 9:00:00 PM"
The PunchData table has a column called "LOGOUT" which is also a DATETIME, the entries will have the real date and look something like this: "3/28/2008 9:23:00 PM"
I need to strip the date out of these functions so I can compare the times. I need to query the databases and return any instances where the LOGOUT time is > the shift end time (SHEND).
So far nothing I've tried has been successful. I'm completely stumped, I've tried so many different things and nothing compares the two times correctly. SQL DATETIME is the biggest pain in the ass, I wish we had SQL 2008 so I could just use TIME.

Hello,
I have some code that is trying to first find the first date of service that a person visited. Using the min function is not working. Is there another function? Right now I am still getting multiple rows for each person instead of just the first visit.
Then I want to be able to compare the first date of service to the date of birth and determine if the patient first visited before they were 2 years old. I can't figure out how to do this.
select distinct b.person_id,b.date_of_birth,min(a.enc_timestamp)
from patient_encounter a
join person b on a.person_id = b.person_id
where b.date_of_birth >= '20060301' and b.date_of_birth <= '20060531'
group by b.person_id,b.date_of_birth,a.enc_timestamp

Hi Guys,
I am really stuck on exactly how I can do this. I can sudo it in my mind but can't figure out how I would code it.
What i want to do is select all records from a table that the log_date is older than 7 days.
If I was comparing a date i would imagine i would do something like
log_date < NOW()-7
I have looked at:
SELECT player_name, player_last_logon_date,DATEDIFF(day, player_last_logon_date, GETDATE()) AS NumberOfDays from player
select player_name, player_last_logon_date, datepart(dd,player_last_logon_date) from player
but I dont think either is really right. any and all advice would be great!
Thanks

Basically, Im trying to return some data from an Access library database into a Java app using an SQL statement. Heres the code:
PHP Code:
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT b.BorrowerNo, b.FirstName, b.LastName, COUNT(*) " +
"FROM Borrowers b, Loans l WHERE l.BorrowerNo = b.BorrowerNo " +
"GROUP BY b.BorrowerNo, b.FirstName, b.LastName ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC";
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(sql);
This works fine, returns the BorrowerNo, FirstName, LastName, and COUNT is how many books they have loaned.
What I need it to do though, is just return loans that are late. I have a column in the Loans table called DateDueBack, so I think I need to compare this date to the current date in the WHERE statement.
I tried add this to my WHERE after l.BorrowerNo = b.BorrowerNo: AND l.DateDueBack > 16/11/2005
But this didn't work, it returned all the loans, regardless of whether they were before or after the date in the query.
Can anyone please help with this statement? I've never tried to compare dates before.

Hi All,
Is there a way to compare two dates fields that are different in length? For example, I have table1.datefield with a date of '040808' and table2.datefield with a date of '04082008'. Just comparing the two fields is not coming up equal. Has anyone had this situation before?
Thanks.

I have a date comparison situation in which I will have a column with a date and will have another value containing a GETDATE() minus two weeks. I want to be able to compare both dates and get the MIN date between the two. I'm not sure how to use the MIN(Date) in this scenario since the comparison won't be between two different columns, but between one column and a random date generated by the GETDATE() minus two weeks.

Hi,
I have a table that holds pay rate changes with a field for the rate start date and a field for the rate end date. When an employee gets given a new pay rate, the existing rate is given an end date and a new row is added with the rate start date being the day following the end date of the old pay rate.
I need to identify the staff who have had a rate change within the past month, therefore an end date on one row that is within one month of the current month, and a start date on another row that is one day after an end date on a separate row and within one month of the current month.
Is someone able to help me out please?
Thanks

Hi,
Below is my store procedure. I am trying to capture all orders between a startdate and a enddate. When I use the Where #1(see below- I have 2 where clauses) it allows me to go from one year to another. For example, startdate of 2/18/2003 - enddate of 2/19/2004 will return all orders in my table except for 2/19/2004. Probably because of the time portion.
When I use the Where #2, it doesn't go back a full year. The startdate is reacting like 2/18/2004 and not 2003. The records I get are only for dates 2/18/2004-2/19/2004.
How do I create a where clause which will go back a year or more and include the enddate orders? Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

To the experts in the field:
There is probably a very simple solution that is avoiding my grasp.
I have a For Loop which I want to execute as long as a variable called BeforeRunDt = CurrentDate. Both are DateTime data types and I am using the following expression:
@BeforeRunDt==@CurrenDate
I get an error stating "Cannot convert expression value to propeerty type"
I understand that the result of the expression should be a boolean value but am just struggling on how to create it.
Thanks!

Hi Guys, I am experiencing weird results
SELECT DSNew, DTTM, RQDT
FROM dbo.Feb
INNER JOIN DMSEFL
ON ACTR = DSNew
where cast(DSNew as varchar(20)) = cast(ACTR As varchar(20))
If I run the above query I get zero recs back.
If I substitute a Value then I get the desired results (ie. where DSNew = '93235500') or if I enter (ACTR = '93235500') or if I put (where DSNew = '93235500' AND ACTR = '93235500')
Can anyone suggest a reason why this is happening. I know the records exist on both tables I ran the query in Acess and got the desired resutls.
Thank you,

Got a query taking too much time because of lack of cross columns MAX/MIN functions. Consider a similar example where a View is required to reflect distribution of Water among different towns each having four different levels of distribution reservoir tanks of different sizes:In this case the basic table has columns like:
PurchaseDate
TownName
QuantityPurchased
Tank1_Size
Tank2_Size
Tank3_Size
Tank4_Size
Now suppose I need a query to distribute QuantityPurchased in the Four additional Columns computed on the basis depending on the sizes declared in the last four fields,in the same order of preference.For example: I have to use IIFs to check: whether the quantity purchased is less than Tank_A if yes then Qty Purchased otherwise Tank_A_Size itself for Tank_A_Filled
then again IIF but this time to check:
Whether the quantity purchased less Tank_A_Filled (Which again needs to be calculated as above) is less than Tank_B if yes then Tank_A_Filled (Which again needs to be calculated as above) otherwise Tank_B_Size itself for Tank_B_Filled

I have this and it isn't working:
SELECT DISTINCT [Sales Data].co1, [Sales Data].amount, [Sales Data].description, Consignment_Data.date AS Expr1
FROM Consignment_Data INNER JOIN [Sales Data] ON Consignment_Data.co1 = [Sales Data].co1

Hi,
I have a query as follows:
SELECT SUM(Total) AS WeekRetailTotal, COUNT(*) AS MonthRetailOrderNo, DATEPART(wk, OrderDate) AS SalesWeek, YEAR(OrderDate) AS SalesYear
FROM dbo.Orders_Retail
WHERE (account = @Account) AND (OrderStatus <> 'Deleted') AND (PayStatus <> 'Pending') AND (OrderStatus <> 'Refunded')
GROUP BY YEAR(OrderDate), DATEPART(wk, OrderDate)
ORDER BY YEAR(OrderDate), DATEPART(wk, OrderDate)
the results look like this
WeekRetailTotal
MonthRetailOrderNo
SalesWeek
SalesYear
£397.55
8
3
2002
etc etc for each week in a year and then it goes onto the next year.
What I would like to do, is feed the query a variable as the start week and year and then also for the endweek and year.
I've tried to do a WHERE DATEPART(wk, OrderDate) > @StartDate AND DATEPART(wk, OrderDate)
< @EndDate AND YEar(OrderDate) > @StartYear AND YEAR(OrderDate) < @EndYear
But that's not correct, it only bring in the weeks in both years that are in between those two week range variables.
I need the startweek and year to be "one" starting point and the endweek and endyear be the ending point.
Any ideas?
Thanks
