Basically I'm selecting all the rows from a table and stripping the time portion of the date using
CAST(CREATE_DATE AS DATE)
but my results give me the rows I need but the column is unnamed.
How do I give the column a name?
Like this:
Cast(create_date as date) as [Column Name Here]
You can omit the [] if you are not using spaces or reserved words in your column name (which is good practice anyway).

I'm using Microsoft SQL Server and I"m having issues writing a command for MIN and MAX functions.
It seems simple. The data type of the column is date time and the requested information is to find oldest/newest employee.
Below is the query I wrote:
select max(date_hired)
from staff;
select min(date_hired)
from staff;
But it seems like they are working in reverse. Min is giving me oldest and max is giving me youngest.

Current code I have is as follows:
select date_parse(column_name,'%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s')
This is the error I receive:
Error running query: line 1:19: Column "column_name" cannot be
resolved
I know that the format of the date I inserted is correct because I tested it with a value I have in the database and it returned the correct date value. It may be related to several records having no value in the column specified? Not exactly sure how I would account for that
I'm expecting the code to turn the entire column from a string into a date

I have column StartDate and i need to insert this date
INSERT INTO Products(StartDate) VALUES(2001-01-01 00:00:00.000)
There but it doesn't work
The problem is that you need single quotes around your literal datetime value.
If the millseconds are added depends on the datatype of the column.
INSERT INTO Products(StartDate) VALUES('2001-01-01 00:00:00.000')

I am trying to insert records into my table but keep getting an error due to the dash (Invalid column name 'NJB572'), how can I go about this? I have 2 columns in this table, both VARCHAR.
INSERT INTO dbo.Inventory VALUES
(131-NJB572, 'BROOM')
(PTI-I20, '9/16 IRONWORKERS')
(PTI-I16, '13/16" PUNCH');
You can use quotes to wrap the column names.
Try,
INSERT INTO dbo.Inventory VALUES
('131-NJB572', 'BROOM')
,('PTI-I20', '9/16 IRONWORKERS')
,('PTI-I16', '13/16" PUNCH');

select *
from table_name
where charindex(dest_mail,'abc#mail.com') >0
In the above query dest_mail is a column, but there is another entry in the table, which is 'bc#mail.com'. When I try to execute the above query, I'm getting two results
1.abc#mail.com
2.bc#mail.com
How to get exact 'abc#mail.com'?
Have you considered =?
where dest_mail = 'abc#mail.com'
Also, charindex() is not very colloquial SQL for this purpose; = is a built-in standard operator (charindex() is not standard). And a bonus to = is that it allows the optimizer to take advantage of indexes and partitions.
