You can't store the date on it's own as any form of date type. Nor should you need to. If you really want to do this, you could store the date in a varchar field.

 No - it's the main reason I advised him that there was no valid reason to do it. A date's a date's a date. Mind you, if he did store the date, it would (of course) had to be in UTC format.

If you really really need to do this then you can store it as an integer by converting dates as follows:
cast(convert(char(10),getdate(),112)as int)
Storing it as an integer will only take 4 bytes rather than the 10 bytes a char or varchar would take.
The beauty of this is that you can do comparisons between integer dates without having to cast the data first.

Hi,
Using SQLSERVER 2000 I've written a stored procedure in which a piece of code is as shown below
Declare @tbl table (cardno varchar(20))
Insert @tbl
select cardno from carddata
select * from @tbl
Here @tbl is an array
When I execute the above code @tbl is getting populated with a list of cardnos.
Now I want to insert all the cardnos in @tabl into another table
Is there any method to do this, How to read an array in SQLSERVER 2000
Thanks and regards

Actually, it is called SQL Table variable[^]. Not array.

You can treat it like table. Try the following code.
Insert @tabl <br />
select * from @tbl

Hi all,
my table contains some records and a column is autonumbered.
I have to fetch records in a particular sequence for example (2,8,4,3,9)
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE ID IN(2,8,4,3,9)
But sql server orders the records by the ID field(2,3,4,8,9). How to prevent this?
Thank You.

By default it will order by Primary key.....

While SQL Server will generally order by the primary key, this cannot be relied on. If it sees an optimisation that results in a different sequence it will use that. However, you can override the final output by using the ORDER BY clause.

You can use the ORDER BY clause to specify an order. However, it doesn't accept arbitrary orders, just orders things based on the column (or columns) you specify.
You could, however, provide a complex CASE clause in the SELECT statement that results in an increasing sequence of numbers that can be ordered in the way you want.

If you want to sort the output by 2,8,4,3,9 then you could use something like:
select * from MyTable
where ID in (2,8,4,3,9)
order by charindex(','+convert(varchar,ID)+',', ',2,8,4,3,9,')Regards

can i , with the help of sql queries , ascertain the next record ?
select next name from tablename
the above query does not exists in the real life .
Does such sort of query exist in sql server 2000?
Yesterday is a canceled check. Tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is the ready cash. USE IT.

Fetch next exists only in cursors.

Nope. Use your Primary Key to navigate between your records.

Next from what?
Records are not really ordered when they are stored in SQL server...
