Date fields in views

  • Hello All,

    I am creating a view, with amongst other fields has the columns startdate and enddate.

    I wish to populate another field with the value 1 when these two fields are the same Eg When startdate = enddate and a zero when the fields do not match.

    Could you possibly let me know how this is done.

     

    Many thanks.

     

     

     


    Kindest Regards,

    Nick

  • you could use a CASE statement. check outBOL for syntax. aproxly:

    SELECT

    ...

    CASE WHEN startdate=Enddate THEN 1 ELSE 0 END

    FROM

    ...

  • if you are creating a view, you need to named the new field

    SELECT

    ...

    CASE WHEN startdate=Enddate THEN 1 ELSE 0 END as new_field

    FROM

    ...
