I was wondering if someone could help me out.
I need to return database results based on a date range, im using Classic ASP and MsSQL
My script gives me dates formatted as follows:
6/18/2014
The dates are saved in the database in the following format
12/24/2014 7:03:00 AM
What im wanting to do is something as follows:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE paid >= 6/18/2014 AND =< 6/28/2014
When i run that, im getting weird results as the dates arent formatted the same.
Can someone help me out.
Cheers,
you should put those two dates between single quotes like..
SELECT * FROM table WHERE paid BETWEEN '6/18/2014' and '6/28/2014'
EDIT:
you can use DATE_FORMAT(date,format) function to display date/time data in different formats.
here's some reference
http://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_date_format.asp
if its not typo
SELECT * FROM table WHERE paid BETWEEN '6/18/2014' AND '6/28/2014'
EDIT:-my database is storing it in the format yyyy-mm-dd
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE DATE >= '2014-05-18'
AND DATE <= '2014-06-28'
and its working correctly
here is a reference
change the format according to your own database it will work

I have an SQL query in access that will grab all records where a calculated date is in between two values. It works fine if I hardcode date literals such as:
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE DateAdd("d",-60,DateAdd("yyyy",65,[Table].[BirthDate])) Between #3/21/2021# And #3/27/2021#;
However I need to parametrize the the between dates so that they can be entered by a user like:
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE DateAdd("d",-60,DateAdd("yyyy",65,[Table].[BirthDate])) Between [StartDate] And [EndDate];
However when I run the latter query and enter the exact same dates as the former, hard-coded one, it starts pulling records outside the between range. I've attempted to enter the dates like 3/21/2021 as well as date literals like #3/21/2021# and neither work. The latter doesn't pull anything at all.
I also have a form with a handful of text boxes using the short date format that let the user pick the dates for the query. It has the same issue of pulling back incorrect records. None of the records have any time component to my knowledge.
How can I get the date between to correctly work with user entered parameters?
Access doesn't know what data type your parameters are, so specify that in the query:
PARAMETERS
StartDate DateTime,
EndDate DateTime;
SELECT
*
FROM
Table
WHERE
DateAdd("d",-60,DateAdd("yyyy",65,[Table].[BirthDate])) Between [StartDate] And [EndDate];
Parameters worked to filter a native field - not the calculated date. However, using CDate() function worked.
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE DateAdd("d",-60,DateAdd("yyyy",65,[Table].[BirthDate]))
Between CDate([StartDate]) And CDate([EndDate]);
But before I remembered that, I tested calculating with inputs back to a birthdate range which also worked.
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE [BirthDate] Between DateAdd("d",60,DateAdd("yyyy",-65,[StartDate]))
And DateAdd("d",60,DateAdd("yyyy",-65,[EndDate]));
I am wondering if it's possible for us to use parenthesis to include multiple criteria after WHERE. For example, I am looking for data from multiple dates, and original code looks like this,
SELECT * FROM MyDB
WHERE Date = '2016-06-30' OR Date = '2016-09-30' OR Date = '2016-12-31'
This code will be extremely long if I will need to get data from more time periods, or column name is long and complex. I tried to change the code into the following format and apparently it's not correct,
SELECT * FROM MyDB
WHERE Date = ('2016-06-30', '2016-09-30', '2016-12-31')
I am wondering if there is a way we can code in the method I described above so that it can get me data from all dates (or other criteria)?
Thanks in advance!
Using IN
SELECT * FROM MyDB
WHERE Date IN ('2016-06-30', '2016-09-30', '2016-12-31')
I am trying to locate a date in database between two specific dates entered by user. Something like:
SELECT date FROM table WHERE date>=dateFrom AND date<=dateTO
I have the following table:
I have made a mistake saving the date as VARCHAR and now i have to do all the str_to_date and date_format as i am using phpMyAdmin. I somehow did it but i am facing this strange problem using this query:
SELECT date_format(str_to_date(data,'%d/%m/%Y'),'%d/%m/%Y') AS data FROM montaggio WHERE data>=date_format(str_to_date('29/08/2014','%d/%m/%Y'),'%d/%m/%Y')
The query would return to me only the date 19/08/2014 where as i expected it to return 01/09/2014. On the other hand if it enter the query
SELECT date_format(str_to_date(data,'%d/%m/%Y'),'%d/%m/%Y') AS data FROM montaggio WHERE data>=date_format(str_to_date('29/08/2014','%d/%m/%Y'),'%d/%m/%Y') AND data<=date_format(str_to_date('05/09/2014','%d/%m/%Y'),'%d/%m/%Y')
The query returns nothing.
I am using phpMyAdmin.
What am i missing here? Any help would be appreciated!
You do seem a bit confused. All the operations on dates should be done on the date data type. There is no need to convert things back to strings:
SELECT data
FROM montaggio
WHERE str_to_date(data, '%d/%m/%Y') >= str_to_date('29/08/2014', '%d/%m/%Y')
You seem to understand the real solution, which is to store dates/times in the database using the correct type. If you have to use strings for dates, then always stored them as YYYY-MM-DD, so comparisons and sorting will work correctly.
Have been researching all day and so far not found an acceptable answer and my experimenting with code has yielded nothing.
I've got a database with a particular 2 columns "StartDate" and "LastBackupDate" which seem to be storing their date information as a Julian date (eg. 40953.6017873071). I need to convert this to a standard Gregorian Date (MM-DD-YYYY or DD-MM-YYYY).
I'm pulling back all results from this table at current "Select * FROM xxxxxx WHERE blah blah".
I'm able to convert these dates in no time with Excel, if I export the data to a sheet, but when I pull the data with Convert, I'm unable to get the date converted.
This is part of a SQL query for a webpage. I can't post out the webcode, but I can post the SQL query:
SELECT * FROM ExpandedCustomerView WHERE regloginid = #0 AND (Status='A' OR Status='H')"
I've been experimenting with this:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(36),[STARTDATE],101)
[StartDate]
,[LastBackupDate]
FROM [CNTD_Accounts].[dbo].[ExpandedCustomerView]
As a way to get this returned appropriately. I've tried formatting of 101, 110 and others to see if we can get the right results. So far, nothing is working for me. I think this has to be fairly simple.
Cast from number to datetime directly..
select cast(40953.6017873071 as datetime)
--
2012-02-16 14:26:34.423
e.g.
cast([StartDate] as datetime)
If the data is a number in a varchar field, cast it twice
cast(cast([StartDate] as float) as datetime)
Thanks for your help. I am not able to make out the type/format of the "Value" in a Date column.I guess its in Julian Date format.
The Column is paid_month and the values are below.
200901
200902
So,please help in writing SQL query to convert the above values(Mostly in Julian Format) in the Date Column to normal date (MM/DD/YYYY) .
Thanks
Rohit
Hi,
I am sorry for missing in giving the whole information.
1)Its a Oracle Database.
2)The column given is Paid_Month with values 200901,200902
3)I am also confused that the above value gives month & year.Day isnt given if my guess is right.
4)If its not in Julian format ,then also please help me the SQL to get at least mm/yyyy
I am using a Oracle DB and running the query
THANKS i GOT THE ANSWER.
**Now,i have to do the reverse meaning converting a date 01/09/2010 to a String which has 6 digits.
Pls help with syntax-
select to_char(01/01/2010,**
It looks like YYYYMM - depending on your database variant, try STR_TO_DATE(paid_month, 'YYYYMM'), then format that.
Note: MM/DD/YYYY is not "normal" format - only Americans use it. The rest of the world uses DD/MM/YYYY
For MySQL check
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_date-format
Example:
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%d/%m/%Y')
For MySQL, you would use the STR_TO_DATE function, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_str-to-date
SELECT STR_TO_DATE(paid_month,'%Y%m');
Sounds like the column contains some normal dates and some YYYYMM dates. If the goal is to update the entire column, you can attempt to isolate the YYYYMM dates and update only those. Something like:
UPDATE YourTable
SET paid_month = DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(paid_month, '%Y%m'), '%m/%d/%Y')
WHERE LENGTH(paid_month) = 6
SELECT (paid_month % 100) + "/01/" + (paid_month/100) AS paid_day
FROM tbl;
I'm not sure about how oracle concatenates strings. Often, you see || in SQL:
SELECT foo || bar FROM ...
or functions:
SELECT cat (foo, bar) FROM ...
