I am setting up a table and I want to capture the creation date of each record when it comes in. Obviously the easy way to do this is set the dfault value of this field to getdate(), but I am wondering if there is a benefit to using an insert trigger instead?
I will also be adding a seperate updatedOn field and plan to use an update trigger to populate it. If there is a better way to do either of these please let me know.
Please i need an exmple of ur solution, thanks :)
I'm using some files to show certain pages on certain date for an example
File name : aa.doc
start date: 10/02/00
end date : 10/03/00
But it expires on 10/02/00, here is the strored procedure:
Before the date comes, it expires the page
Here is my stored procedure:
"
SELECT startdate, enddate,archivedate
and (startdate is null or (getdate() >= startdate and getdate() <= enddate))
and (archivedate is null or (getdate() <= archivedate))
group by startdate, enddate order by startdate desc "
Thankx a lot

How can i getdate in C# code, like we do in SQL Server ?
Thanks.
However, when I run select getdate() in Sql 6.5 I get the following
Apr 27 2001 11:59AM
Both queries are run from the QueryIsql window.
How can I get the sql 7 version of getdate to be exactly the same as the
sql 6.5 version from the query window without resorting to usign the
convert function?
According to Sql 7 books online, getdate
"Returns the current system date and time in the Microsoft® SQL Server™ standard internal format for datetime values"

i am also trying to write a query that
retrieve information on yesterdays new registered
member. So far as i am concern with sqlserver you use
the getdate()-1 to retrieve this information. But the
problem i get when i try to use the getdate()-1 is
that i tend to get todays and yesterdays registered
users. Is there anywhere that i would be able to
retrieve information on just yesterdays new registered
members and also only todays new register members.
The following WHERE clause does not generate a datetime from my GETDATEs. Can anyone help me out on the syntax?
WHERE (FROMTIME = GETDATE() AND ToTime = GETDATE())
Thanks much.

Is it right, that getdate() cannot be used in an user defined function. if so, then how do i get hte current date and time in my function?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi
I know this is going to sound really daft, but what is the easiest way of getting today's date without the time? Getdate() on it's own doesn't work because it always brings out the time. I know I'm missing something really basic but I can't figure it out.
Please help.
Thanks

I'm using getdate() - 74 and getting something like
2006-03-06 11:26:02.870
Is there a simple way to get
2006-03-06 00:00:00.000
instead?
Or just get the date and not the time part. I'm using this date with a between function and the time component is throwing it off.
I'm using
cast(convert(char, getdate(),112) as datetime) - 74
and it works...but there must be an easier way...

Hello All,
I have a problem as follows
if i execute SELECT GETDATE() statement multiple times in a single run it returns me the same datetime without any difference in even milliseconds.
I am unable to figure out what is wrong. I am assuming that whenever executed in a transaction it will give the same result.
could anybody let me know what is correct. Thanks for your help in advance.
SELECT GETDATE()
SELECT GETDATE()
SELECT GETDATE()
SELECT GETDATE()
SELECT GETDATE()
SELECT GETDATE()
SELECT GETDATE()
even then i get the same date.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIm really new to SQL SProcs. I have a function that I wrote that I am trying to compare a date within a record to today's date. The problem is that you cant call getdate from within a function... So, I was thinking that I could create a temp table that had a a date column with a default date of today and select that out. However, I cant find any documentation on how you would create a temp table with a default value, or if this would even work. I dont want to have to pass todays date into the function, nor do I want to have to create a permanent table just to hold this data.
Any help, or other ideas?
Thanks.
Hi... I am work on SQL Server 6.5
When I wrote "select getdate() " at SQL Query
then result appear : 31 Desember 2001
But my server date/time setting at control panel is 18 pebruary 2002.
If I restart that SQL Database than select getdate() is the same
with Server date/time.
Why select getdate() at sql server is different with server date/time at control panel ? is there any way to solve this problem without restart that database ?
Thanks for your answer.
The getdate () function returns the following
eg: 2000-11-16 16:13:49.717
Do anyone knows of a function to return only the date eg: 2000-11-16???
Not the time.
Thanks!

Hi

The reason I see is the assignment to a variable of a different data type. Is there a way to preserve the date format when I assign the value to a character field?
Thanks,
Does getdate() always returns date values in a standard format or it changes with the system date settings. I want to get 200110 for october 2001 and want to use getdate() for this purpose.
Thanks

I have a strange problem occurring when I am using getdate() in a stored proc. I want to get some data from a table within a date range using getdate.
I have a begin and end dates on a table and want to retrieve a guid and some other information based on the current date. So, wherever today's date falls between the begin date and the end date, I want the information from that row.
For example,
select * from polldates
where (pollbegindate >= getdate() and pollenddate <= getdate())
This works fine Monday through Saturday. I get a value returned from getdate() correctly and am able to retrieve the information that I need. However, on Sunday, getdate returns nothing when I run the stored procedure. Any clues? Am I just crazy or has anyone else seen this type of thing happen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
