Date range

Hi,

I am using SQL 2008. I am not sure why it's only display 4 records.

the date range looks good to me.

Thanks,
Lulu

 SELECT distinct  L.IssueID
		 , L.ParentIssueID
   FROM LogEntry L
      LEFT JOIN IssueStatus I on I.StatusID = L.StatusID
      LEFT JOIN CategoryType C on C.CategoryTypeID = L.CategoryTypeID
      LEFT JOIN TicketNumber T on T.TicketNumberID = L.TicketNumberID
      LEFT JOIN SelectedDepartment SD on SD.IssueID = L.IssueID 
      LEFT JOIN DepartmentImpacted DI on DI.DepartmentImpactedID = SD.DepartmentImpactedID 
   where 1 = 1
   
    <CFIF (IsDefined("Cookie.CookieDateFrom") && #Cookie.CookieDateFrom# neq "" )  && (IsDefined("Cookie.CookieGetDateTo") && #Cookie.CookieGetDateTo# neq "" )   >
    	AND (L.DateIdentified >= '#Trim(DateFormat(Cookie.CookieDateFrom, "YYYY-mm-dd"))#' and L.DateIdentified <= '#Trim(DateFormat(Cookie.CookieGetDateTo, "YYYY-mm-dd"))#')
        

	</CFIF>

this is your current - and wildly inefficient - query:

SELECT DISTINCT
      L.IssueID
    , L.ParentIssueID
FROM LogEntry L
      LEFT JOIN IssueStatus I
            ON I.StatusID = L.StatusID
      LEFT JOIN CategoryType C
            ON C.CategoryTypeID = L.CategoryTypeID
      LEFT JOIN TicketNumber T
            ON T.TicketNumberID = L.TicketNumberID
      LEFT JOIN SelectedDepartment SD
            ON SD.IssueID = L.IssueID
      LEFT JOIN DepartmentImpacted DI
            ON DI.DepartmentImpactedID = SD.DepartmentImpactedID
WHERE 1 = 1
      AND (L.DateIdentified >= '2014-03-08'
      AND L.DateIdentified <= '2014-04-08')
;

I can only presume that the very expensive DISTINCT is used to remove the effect of all those expensive left joins - which you do not need at all for that query. This would produce the same result:

SELECT
      L.IssueID
    , L.ParentIssueID
FROM LogEntry L
WHERE 1 = 1
      AND (L.DateIdentified >= '2014-03-08'
      AND L.DateIdentified <= '2014-04-08')
;

By the way, YYYYMMDD is the safest most reliable date string format in SQL Server.
