internally, a date is represented as an integer of some sort. dates are converted to string representations at the last possible moment. This is why you can do arithmetic with dates:-
select DateField1 + DateField2 from table
and you can use inequalities as conditional clauses too:-
select * from table where date1 < date2
Anyway, if you want to do some kind of wildcard matching, on strings, then you need to dynamically convert the date to a string:-
select * from table
where convert(varchar(25),datefield) like '%-10-%'
That should help you out. I am a bit worried though. The like clause, and use of wildcards, is a surefire way to kiss goodbye to performance. Particularly when you mention that you use wildcards on every field.
If you are trying to implement keyword searching on the data in your table, i'd suggest you look up full text indexing.

I have a feild of a SQL2000 DB set up as datetime, and I am trying to place a date into it as '11/4/2003'. The record gets inserted ok, but the date comes out as '1/1/1900'
Anyone care to gander as why?

I suppose your dateformat on the SQL server isnt 'd/m/yy' so it recognized it as 'something' but cant make a valid date out of it. So it gets inserted as 'empty' date which resolves to 1/1/1900.

Tip:- to save confusion when using dates in MSSQLServer, always use the format like this:-
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
eg
'2002-11-05'
or
'2002-11-05 16:35:00'
this really helps to eliminate date ordering oddness.

I close a database using:
database.OpenEx(mySql,CDatabase::noOdbcDialog) ...

Well, it is an MFC app, this way:
void OnExcel(CString sExcelFile)//, CString ficheroSolo)
{
CDatabase database;
CString sDriver ;//= "MICROSOFT EXCEL DRIVER (*.XLS)";
sDriver = GetExcelDriver();
CString sSql;
TRY
{
// Build the creation string for access without DSN
sSql.Format("DRIVER={%s};DSN='';FIRSTROWHASNAMES=1;READONLY=FALSE;CREATE_DB=\"%s\";DBQ=%s", sDriver, sExcelFile, sExcelFile);
// Create the database (i.e. Excel sheet)
if( database.OpenEx(sSql,CDatabase::noOdbcDialog) )
{
// Create table structure
sSql.Format( "CREATE TABLE Graficas (Fecha TEXT, Hora NUMBER,[Temperatura (ºC)] NUMBER,[Rocío (ºC)] NUMBER,[Presión (mb)] NUMBER,[Velocidad (km/h)] NUMBER,[Dirección (º)] NUMBER,Brújula TEXT)");
database.ExecuteSQL(sSql);
}
...more code ...INSERT INTO, etc ....
database.Close();

When the your function ends, the CDatabase object is destroyed because it passes out of scope. There's no need to destroy it yourself, unless you created it with new, in which case you'll have to delete it.

Ok, ok. You're right. It was my mistake.
Thank you, very much.

How to do this using SQL-DMO? Subscriber and publisher status is needed.
