What about a seperate forum for Date/Time issues?

    Since the start of the IT industry in the early 1950s, I would guess there have been several man-centuries spent resolving date/time problems.

    Being an SQL novice, I have found some brilliant bits of code in the various forums that have reduced my amaturish 30 lines of code to one line too many times to admit! Quit often a solution for one problem is discovered while researching a totally unrelated problem.

    It would be great if all date/time functions and related issues where posted on one forum.

    Regards,

    We'll look at this and see. We get lots of misfiled posts as it is, so I'm not sure it will help. Have you tried searching for your specific issue?

    I would recommend that anyone who works with DATETIME read:

    A) Tibor Karaszi's article on the subject:

    http://www.karaszi.com/SQLServer/info_datetime.asp

    and

    B) Rick Snodgrass' book on tempoaral SQL, which can be downloaded in PDF format from this web page:

    To add to Adam:

    Almost each possible question on this topic has already been answered before with an at least effective answer. A simple search in the Google archives (or other resources) with smart search criteria will give tons of informations back.
