Datetime issue while selecting

  • Dear All,

    I have a table with 5 column out of which one column datatyp is "Datetime"

    ID,Country,Dateruled Isactive

    Ex: 1,India,Rural,2008-05-15 18:30:00.000 ACTIVE

    The datatype for the Dateruled column is of Datetime.

    When i query a table using

    select * from <tablename> where Dateruled='2008-05-15'

    will not result any result set even though we have records.But when i use

    select * from <tablename> where Dateruled>='2008-05-15'

    It shows all the records above that date.

    Could somebody help me to how do we fetch the records for that date.

    Thanks,

    Ganga

    The likely problem is that your dates also include a time component, which is throwing out your selection. To ignore that time component, you need to refine your query a little (untested):

    SELECT *

    FROM tablename

    WHERE CAST(DATEDIFF(dd, 0, Dateruled) AS DATETIME) = '2008-05-15'

  • keep in mind datetime holds date and time.

    Your predicate looks for yourdatecol="2011-06-02 00:00:00.000'

    edited.

    Oh please don't use a date conversion function because it will avoid an index being used in the most optimal way !!

    Write the query like:

    Where yourdatecol >= "2011-06-02 00:00:00.000'

    and yourdatecol <'"2011-06-03 00:00:00.000'
