check ur birthday
i need to implement a function which could check for customer birthday
let say i store the DOB in date format, dd-mmm-yyyy in database
i plan to use query to extract the birthday within two week, so
the query will be something like this:
<cfquery name="DOBcheck" datasource="profile" dbtype="ODBC">
select *
from Cust_info
where cust_dob-now() <= 14 AND cust_dob-now()> 0
order by cust_dob
</cfquery>
but the problem is the comparation is include "year"
if i just wanto compare using day and month,
like "1 Jul" display, since it is within condition range)
how the condition *** wil look like?

no, if just directly deduct from the date, it will definately not work.
just like if someone birthday was on 01-jul-1975
if compare with today's date, which is 30-jun-2001,
the different of time will be more than 14 days.
i just want it to compare the day's and month only, to display
those birthday which will be coming in two weeks time.

can anyone has idea on it??
I think you need the query to return all customers, you can then loop through the resultset and perform string manipulation to change their DOB to their birthday this year and then use datediff.
If there are a lot of records you may be better to schedule the task to run when the server is quiet.

Have you tried using DateDiff to get the value you are looking for?
WHERE
#Abs(DateDiff('d', DateFormat("#cust_dob#","d
AND
#Abs(DateDiff('m', cust_dob, Now()))# > 0

hi, jamathon. can u show me an example?
Hi KKrui
sorry for this delay. Actually u can't do directly through query rather u can check this through coldfusion.
code is like this
<cfquery name="qrytest" datasource="ebdb" debug="Yes">
select date1 from temp
</cfquery>
<cfoutput query="qrytest">
<cfif #datediff('d',day(Now()),d
and #evaluate( month(Now()) - month(date1) ) # eq 0>
#date1#</cfif>
</cfoutput>
it will print only the dateof birth 14 days beyonds current date.
check with this code it will work.

I think you may find a flaw in dash420's code
It will only work when the current date and the database date are in the same month.
Also I neglected to close a tag in my code
Cheers

I forgot to think of that case when sysdate will end of the month so please change the last condition.
condition code is
<cfoutput query="qrytest">
<cfif #datediff('d',day(Now()),d
and #evaluate( month(Now()) - month(date1) ) # lte 1>
<!---put ur code here--->
/cfif>

instead of using coldfusion function now(), use the sysdate of oracle if u are using oracle. it will solve ur problem.
<cfquery name="DOBcheck" datasource="profile" dbtype="ODBC">
select *
from Cust_info
where (cust_dob- to_date(sysdate,'dd-mon-yy
order by cust_dob
</cfquery>
otherwise use dateformat of coldfusion before cust_dob variable. it will definitly work.
