You can subtract dates from each other without using the datediff, which makes for easier comparison of Dates.
This means you could do something along the line of:
<br />
IF GetDate() - '01 may 2008' > DateAdd(MONTH,3,'1900-01-01 00:00:00.000') <br />
PRINT('Current Date is more then 3 months from 01 may 2008')<br />
ELSE <br />
PRINT('Current Date is less then, or equal to, 3 months from 01 may 2008')<br />
Edit: a more simple method might be:
<br />
<br />
IF GetDate() - DateAdd(MONTH, 3, '01 may 2008') > 0<br />
PRINT('Current Date is more then 3 months from 01 may 2008')<br />
ELSE<br />
PRINT('Current Date is less then, or equal to, 3 months from 01 may 2008')<br />
This works in SQL Server 2005 at least.
Here I utilize the fact that internally datetime is represented by an integer, which means I can check it against 0 (which in SQL Server is the same value as 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000)
Clean the GetDate for its time portion to make the comparison more exact (or if you use SQL Server 2008, there is a Date datatype without the time portion).

Hi guys,
need some help.
i am trying to create a Full text index query for searching all the records having words starting with a particular character for eg. 'A'
i tried using Contains Clause with '*' wild card
my query is :-
select * from table where contains (columname,'"A*"');
results are coming fine but the problem is that it returns all the records in which there is any word between the string starting with A .
I need only those records in which the starting char of the column is 'A'
similar to the query -
select * from table where columname like 'A%' but i dont want to use like query as it will slower the results ..
any help will be appreciated

Contains appears to be working exactly like it should, you'll have to use like or construct a more complicated contains clause, if you're using sql server 2k the transact sql help in the query analyzer tool has some decent examples and a rather good explination for almost anything sql.
Please remember to rate helpful or unhelpful answers, it lets us and people reading the forums know if our answers are any good.

select count(*) as [No of Callers] from
(select empcode,empname,count(*) as [No of Calls],convert(varchar(10),details.Logintime ,101) as Date
from details join employee on employee.empid = details.empcode
where employee.Permission <> '1' and details.Logintime between '06/10/2006' and '06/11/2006'
group by empcode,empname, convert(varchar(10),details.Logintime ,101))e
i have this query to get count of callers.But i want date wise count of callers from table name status details.
just like this
date No of callers
06/07/2006 45
06/07/2007 50
can any one help me
thanks

Would it be something like:
select Logintime as [date], count(*) as [No of Callers] from
(select details.Logintime, empcode,empname,count(*) as [No of Calls],convert(varchar(10),details.Logintime ,101) as Date
from details join employee on employee.empid = details.empcode
where employee.Permission <> '1' group by empcode,empname, convert(varchar(10),details.Logintime ,101))e
Didn't bother to try running it, so I don't know if it works as is.

I'm having a locking issue I think.
Rather than post a whole heap of code, here is basically what I'm trying:
Begin trans
Insert <stuff> into table1
Insert <stuff> into table2
Insert into table3 select <stuff> from table1, table2, table3 plus a few other unmodified tables.
Commit trans
Basically what seems to be happening is that the select on 3rd statement returns no records (because they are locked). After committing, same select returns exactly what it should.
I could probably do this with several non-nested transactions, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the transaction.
I have tried SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED before and during the main trans. Also tried wrapping the first two inserts in begin / commit and SELECT FROM WITH(NOLOCK).
Have googled nolock and also TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL but not really come up with anything useful.
Does anyone have any ideas or can point me in the direction of a URL with some information please?

Strange - I just tried to replicate said behaviour and I had no issues with inserting in a table, selecting from said table and inserting into another table while within the same transaction.
Further more the things you state you have tried should be - AFAIK - enough/the correct method to solve issues similar to this.
Are you sure - 100% - that your "insert into table 3" query runs as it should? And that there aren't another problem then with the isolation level?
How do you call the transaction - via a code layer? Or directly as a query? - If the first, then try to run a simple example directly as a query and see if that gives you problems.
Could be the problem is completely elsewhere?

I did exactly the same thing, it all worked as expected - and I agree, AFAK it is the correct way to do it. I think you are correct, the problem is elsewhere. I do know in the past I have employed this technique many times without problems.

Thanks for the replies.
Took the whole thing apart and ran each query separately, works as expected.
Put back together, commented out the 3rd INSERT to just leave select. Pulls no records as expected.
Commented out select and hardcoded insert with some data that I knew insert1 & 2 would create and works fine.
Headbutted wall for a while, cracked open a bottle of wine, rebooted server and whadaya know...Works perfectly. Removed WITH(NOLOCK)s and... works perfectly. Removed READ UNCOMMITTED, works perfectly.
No idea what caused it. Could have been some other lock, although nothing else should have had a lock.
Its all marked for some serious testing and I'll see if its reproducable!
Anyway, thanks for the help. Hope I can reciprocate one day.

Hehe. Stuff which should work, but doesn't sporadically .... always good fun to debug 
Well, at least you got it running... more or less

I am getting tired of fighting with VC6.0 SQL syntax.
Why is this failing with - missing operator - error?
What operator?
I just want records which match multiple conditions.
It did not like comma separated WHERE also.
Could somebody please help me.
CString strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [Log] WHERE [Callsign] = Callsign and [Band] = Band ORDER BY [ContactID] DESC ; ";
Thanks for reading

try
CString strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [Log] WHERE [Callsign] = 'Callsign' and [Band] = 'Band' ORDER BY [ContactID] DESC ; ";

Thanks - it works.
So why the stupid error code could not tell me that?
Especially when the VC replaces the brackets with single quotation marks.
I am not sure quotation marks should be called "operators".
Thanks again.

No problem.
When in condition you have value string then it must placed inside single quotes.

"Don't torture yourself,let the life to do it for you."
|
|

|

So the SQL ends up looking like this 'Table' = 'Condition string'.
I'll try [Table] = [Condition string] to see hat VC will do with that.

No

Hello All
I have a server with MS SQL Server 2005 DataBase on it
and I set the connection string for the client to the
database on the server.
now my question is, does the processing (CPU activity) while making
a query (or a transaction) on the server or on the client?
and if it is on the client, how do I change it to the server?
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
The parsing, compilation and execution of the query is performed on the server, not the client.

hi friend i want to rollback all the transaction of today when there is some Exception thrown while executing today Query how i can do this
in C#.
wasim khan

I'm not quite sure what yuo are trying to achieve, but you enclose your sql in a try catch with a transaction:
<pre>try
{
SQLConnection conn = new SQLConnection(connectionString);
conn.begintran():
...do your sql
conn.committran();
}
catch (Exception)
{
conn.rollbacktran();
}
finally
{
conn.close();
conn.dispose();
}</pre>
I may have the syntax slightly wrong, I don't have c# on this laptop to check, but yuo should get the idea.
