try
select * from tblstudents where classID='1' and studentstartdate between convert(datetime, 12/03/2004') and convert(datetime, '12/03/2004')

napel25:

With the notation '03/12/2004' the SQL Server never knows what is the day value and what is the month value.

When you use '3 dec 2004' or '12 mar 2004' it works better.

I believe SQL Server uses the american notation. The format MM/DD/YYYY has to work also. But I always use the month format of above.

Don't use parenteses. And the format that SQL Server will accept is YYYY-MM-DD.
For return all records of a day you must set the finnish date to date+1, because SQL will take that as midnight (00:00):

select * from tblstudents where classID='1' and studentstartdate between '2004-12-03' and '2004-12-04'

just use the YYYYMMDD format for your dtaes...

select * from tblstudents
where classID='1'
and studentstartdate between '20041203' and '20041212'

note did you want to include students whojoin of the 12 of december?

if you did then the enddate of the range needs to be the 13th Dec since time is also held...

(as per lowfats point-- datetime defaults to midnight if you dont add times, so change the start date to 1 day less effectively being midnight on day -1 till midnight on actual day..
set dateformat dmy
select * from tblrequests where datesent between convert(datetime, '11/12/2004') and convert(datetime,'12/12/2004')

Hi all,
Can anyone help me to find a solution for this question

Parse for a numeric field using Active X in a DTS package?

I'm trying to parse for a numeric string from a column in a table. What I'm looking for is a numeric string of a fixed length of 8. The column is a comments field and can contain the numeric string in any position. I'm not familiar with ActiveX, so any suggestions will be useful. Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Jaishankar.

try
select * from tblstudents where classID='1' and studentstartdate >=datetime, 12/03/2003 and studentstartdate<'12/04/2004'
(instad of between [start] and [end] I used >=[start] and <[end]+1)

OK. I'm closer, but still confused. I added a sort criteria so I could see the latest record, and it's pulling records from yesterday (5/31/05). I assumed with the -60 days part of the statement, I'd only get records at least 60 days old (the purpose of this view), so why is it pulling them through current? Here's how it looks now.

SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT *, [date] AS Expr1
FROM dbo.bill
WHERE (mat_code IN
(SELECT DISTINCT bill.mat_code
FROM dbo.bill
WHERE bill.date < DateADD(d, - 60, getDate())))
ORDER BY [date] DESC

bobsterboy:

SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT *, [date] AS Expr1
FROM dbo.bill
WHERE (mat_code IN
(SELECT DISTINCT bill.mat_code
FROM dbo.bill
WHERE bill.date < DateADD(d, - 60, getDate())))
ORDER BY [date] DESC

this doesn't work because mat_code isn't distinct in the bill database.

So, it's limiting the data to all of the mat_codes that have a bill that has a date greater than 60 days old.

What you need is:
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT *, [date] AS Expr1
FROM dbo.bill
WHERE bill.date < DateADD(d, - 60, getDate())))
ORDER BY [date] DESC

imran_naz85:

if your date format is dd/mm/yyy
use this query
select * from tablename where datefield between convert(datetime,'03/12/2004',103) and convert(datetime,'03/12/2004',103)

if your date format is mm/dd/yyy
then use this query
select * from tablename where datefield between convert(datetime,'03/12/2004',101) and convert(datetime,'03/12/2004',101)

09.14.2005 at 06:32AM PDT, ID: 14880561

iwarner:

I always find that completing the format works best

ie you have

select * from tblstudents where classID='1' and studentstartdate between ('03/12/2004') and ('03/12/2004')

should be

select * from tblstudents where classID='1' and studentstartdate between '03/12/2004 00:00:00' and '03/12/2004 23:59:59'

the add on bits are just hardcoded into the query, with the day being the dynamic element.
