Hi Guys,
I am kind of struggling to get the result for current date orders but I can get the query working for due date.
"
SalesOrder.DateEntered,
SalesLine.OrderQuantity, (SalesLine.OrderQuantity*SalesLine.SellingPrice / SalesOrder.ExchangeRate) AS Value,
(SalesLine.SellingPrice / SalesOrder.ExchangeRate) AS Price
FROM Company INNER JOIN
CustomerAccount ON Company.CompanyID = CustomerAccount.CompanyID INNER JOIN
SalesOrder ON CustomerAccount.CustomerAccountID = SalesOrder.CustomerAccountID INNER JOIN
SalesLine ON SalesOrder.SalesOrderID = SalesLine.SalesOrderID
WHERE (SalesOrder.DateEntered = { fn CURDATE() })
"
Can please someone tell me where am I going wrong? Or how could I get the current date orders?
Thanks,

What's the problem? Not returning the data you expect?
Can you please post:
- Table scripts
- Sample data
- Expected results?

current date = cast(getdate() as date)

The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

This is not enough for us to be able to help: we don't know how your database works and we cannot see your screen. Please follow the link posted by Gianluca and post again with clearer details.

Please don't cross post. It just fragments replies and makes it harder for you and the people trying to help.

where do you think I should post it? I posted in the newbie and they told me not to post it there. I check SQL Server 2012-T SQL and a query question. I thought I am at the right place for someone to help.
If I knew where to post it then why would I waste your time and mine?

So you think it's fine to post the same question in more than one place, having different people respond to each?
In my opinion, it's plain rude. What if someone answers one of the threads, while the other remains open? People may well spend time trying to help you in the open thread, long after it has been answered elsewhere. If that's not wasting time, I don't know what is.

here is the thing Phil. I had no idea where I should post it and when someone else said you are in the wrong place then I decide to post it on a different forum.
If you think newbies are wasting your time and then do something about it rather than complain.
Could you please tell me where is the close tab or something so I could close one of them and you lots would stop complaining.

First, looking at your two threads, I only see Sean asking you not to cross post your questions. No one in the other thread said anything about cross posting. The problem with cross posting is just what Sean mentioned, you get fragmented answers and no one really knows if the question has been answered.
Most people that are highly active on ssc monitor the Active Threads list, not individual forums. As such, most of us will see your post regardless of where it is posted, we would just like to see it posted once, and hopefully in the appropriate forum for the version of SQL Server you are using. If you post in a version agnostic forum, then it would help if you specify what version of SQL Server you are using as part of your question.
Now, in the thread in the newbie section, I do see a link to another thread, but that was a reference link. If you took the time to read through that thread you would have seen that it explains that { fn CURDATE() } is an ODBC date function equivalent to GETDATE() or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. If you look through your two threads you will see that some people mistook that for CURDATE() which is a MySQL date function and thought you were working with MySQL not MS SQL Server and suggested posting your question on a site dedicated to MySQL since sqlservercentral.com is a MS SQL Server centric site.

I am glad that you were able to get the answer you needed.
And don't worry about the double posting, people new to this site tend to do it initially. We usually just ask that you don't do it and post a link to the other thread so that others can follow the discussion. It isn't meant to be mean or anything, just trying to keep things in a single thread.
