Have you tried using SQLExecDirectW which is unicode version of the function. See: Unicode Function Arguments[^]

You can use between operator like:

SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE DateFromTextBox BETWEEN date1 AND date2

HI!!
I did this :

String rqtr2 = "select ID as [p1] from Table where ('" + TextBox2.Text + "' between date1 and date2)";

and

TextBox2.Text = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now) ;

but it is not right .
Help me please!
thanks

What do you mean by that? Could you post an example row and what you entered in the textbox. That would clarify your problem. The forst guess would be that when you convert the date to a string, it isn't in a format that the db understands.

Little off-topic: it's a bad habit to use literals in the sql statement. Use parameters instead.

Hi!
Merci Mika Wendelius
sorry I dont speak English well.
what I am in the textbox is the system date (detetime)
example :
07/01/2009 11:59:16

I do not know how to use parameters in this case.
Thanks!!

No problem at all

ok, you may encounter a conversion problem. If you're using literals (which I do not encourage at all) you would have a query like

select ...
from   ...
where CONVERT(datetime, '07/01/2009 11:59:16', 101) between date1 and date2

You can test this for example like this:

select * 
from  sysobjects 
where CONVERT(datetime, '01/07/2009 11:59:16',101) -- now
between GETDATE()-1  -- yesterday
and     GETDATE()+1  -- tomorrow

Notice that the format is mm/dd/yyyy. if you want to use dd/mm/yyyy, you should use British/French format:

CONVERT(datetime, '07/01/2009 11:59:16', 103)

However you won't have these problems at all if you use parameters. Then your query would look like

select ...
from   ...
where @SomeDateParameter between date1 and date2

There are good examples in BOL: SqlParameter[^].

You can use the Management Studio using restore window or using T-SQL: RESTORE HEADERONLY[^]

It's been years since I last used that but I remember the command doesn't restore the log but only reads and returns the header information (same as the restore window does when you point out a backup file without actually restoring).

Of course for security reasons, you can take the file into another machine and test the command there.

SCHEMA

Schema is used to separate the ownership of database objects from actual users. It also serves as a logical component to divide the objects int the database to smaller groups (like accounting, marketing etc). See: User-Schema Separation[^]

Credentials

They are used to give access to the extrernal resources outside SQL Server. Credentials can then be given to logins. See: Credentials[^]

Hi There,
I am using when then case in my query.It is working properly when I check string value or null Values.But now I want to check greater than statement.But when use greater than then it shows error
Incorrect syntax near >

I am using when then as follow

case Actual_Bal when Bal>Actual_Bal then Actual Bal else Actual_Bal end Actual_Bal

Is it possible.

Thanks.

Yes,its possible but your sttament makes no sense and looks like it has several syntax errors anyway.

If you want to use Bal if its greater than Actual_Bal you need this

case when Bal > Actual_Bal then Bal else Actual_Bal end Actual_Bal
