There aren't any dates between 23 feb 2010 and 23 feb 2010. Thats why youre query doesn't return anything. Try:
select * from tablename where startdate between '23-Feb-2010' and '24-Feb-2010' Wout Louwers

The idea is good, the suggestion isn't. There still isn't any date between those when treated as exclusive.

His startdates where:
startdate="23-Feb-2010 4:00PM"
startdate="24-Feb-2010 4:00PM"
So the first one is between the 23th and the 24th, isn't it?Wout Louwers

sorry, you're right. I would have given an example with a broader range though.

Read the documentation for your database.
http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_between.asp[^] says:
"In some databases, persons with the LastName of "Hansen" or "Pettersen" will not be listed, because the BETWEEN operator only selects fields that are between and excluding the test values).
In other databases, persons with the LastName of "Hansen" or "Pettersen" will be listed, because the BETWEEN operator selects fields that are between and including the test values)."

No
store date/time information as real DateTime, not as string, not as separate date and time.
But be aware that "between" may or may not exclude the values you specify, i.e. depending on the database "BETWEEN a and b" means "a <= x <= b" or "a < x < b"

On Oracle you could try
select * from tablename where trunc(startdate) between '23-Feb-2010' and '23-Feb-2010'
There is likely an equivalent for SQL Server.
[EDIT]
I'd also add that you are asking for a compare between two different database types so an implied conversion will take place. That conversion often causes results to be different than expected. Chris Meech

Try this:
select * from tablename where (datediff(day, startdate, '23-Feb-2010') = 0)

Hi All,
I'm working with SQL Anywhere 10 and one of the tables in our database has a password field we are wanting to encrypt in some way.
Is there a quick and easy way to do this? It's just so if anyone looks at the data in the database they can't see users passwords.
Thanks,
Mel

Hash the values before you insert them into the database.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your feedback, do you have an example of that?
Is there not a constraint in sybase or something along those lines that I can apply to the column?
Thanks again,
Mel

I have two table which are TBL_A and TBL_B.
TBL_A contain two record, TBL_B have no record.
Select ta.Name
From TBL_A ta
I get two record. But If wrote following query
Select ta.Name
From TBL_A ta, TBL_B tb
No any record get, because SQL Server defaultly use CROSS JOIN like this;
Select ta.Name
From TBL_A AS ta CROSS JOIN TBL_B AS tb
How can I close CROSS JOIN. I want to get record when TBL_B also have no record..
Actually I use "where" statement, but if one table have no record on FROM statement so I did not get result related about CROSS JOIN.

This may help
declare @tblA table(recordA varchar(10))
declare @tblB table(recordB varchar(10) null)
insert into @tblA select 'recA1' union all select 'recA2'
Query:
select a.* from @tblA a full join @tblB b
on a.recordA = b.recordB

| If you did a normal install then the instance name should be the name or IP of the server it was installed on. If you installed a specific instance the name of the server should be servername/instancename. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Then you need to do some research, there are plenty of resources on the web and you should have Books On Line (BOL) with your SQL Server. Use them, research instancename.
I think you need to reinstall if you need to change the instance name but I'm not sure.Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Hello Friends,
I've a date in string variable i want to convert this string into datetime format(mm/dd/yyyy) but it's giving me an error. Because my date is stored in dd/mm/yyyy but sql analyser require datetime in mm/dd/yyyy.
So please suggest me the way. Here is my example
Declare @str varchar(100),@strDate datetime
Set @str='14/02/2010'--(dd/mm/yyyy)
Set @strDate=@str
Print @strDate
|
|
|
|
|
Use the following
Declare @str varchar(100),@strDate datetime
Set @str='14/02/2010'--(dd/mm/yyyy)
Set @strDate=CONVERT(DATETIME, @str,103)
Print @strDate
Look into CONVERT in BOLNever underestimate the power of human stupidity
RAH

Try this
Declare @str varchar(100)
Set @str='14/02/2010'--(dd/mm/yyyy)
select ConvertedDate = CONVERT(varchar(10),CONVERT(datetime,@str,103),101)--mm/dd/yyyy
Output:
ConvertedDate
02/14/2010

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 103) AS [DD/MM/YYYY]
