Problem running sql query on sql express
I am running a query on a few servers, it works fine on all SQL 2008 R2 and up. But when I ran it on an SQL Express 2005 I got an error.
This is the query:
SELECT ExpiresOn as originalValue,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(25), CONVERT(DATE, ExpiresOn), 101) as newValue
FROM Users
WHERE ISDATE(ExpiresOn) = 1
This is the error:
Type DATE is not a defined system type
Is there a way to tweak the sql above so it works on 2005 ? Meantime Ill advice my client to update their SQL.

I agree. I already asked the client to upgrade to 2008R2
I heard it also doesn't work on 2012 ? Is this true ?

Since you are advising the upgrade route,..
However, if you want to maintain the current query functionality no matter what system you are on, you could use sp_addtype to define DATE as the data type matching DATETIME.
Not sp_addtype defines a user datatype on the server

So you need to convert it to DATETIME.
But upgrading is the better path.
