We have covered this in one of your other threads...in fact, you may want to keep all of your questions to one thread, so other people (not just me) don't apparently waste their time trying to help.http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=92500http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=92509and (Right(Report_Period,4) *100)+ Left(report_period,2) >= 200607 and (Right(Report_Period,4) *100)+ Left(report_period,2) <=200703quote:
Looking for a reply
Of course you are, why post otherwise! Of course, this wreaks of a homework assignment and you aren't going to get anywhere or learn anything by posting every question requiring a query as a separate thread titled "query help" or "help query".I don't mind helping, but help your self a little bit if you expect any more.
Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. |

Always use proper DATETIME datatype to store dates. It is your front end application where formation mattersMadhivananFailing to plan is Planning to fail |

very same logic with other string functionsselect convert (varchar(12),date,101) from testing where convert(varchar(4),year(date))*100+convert(varchar(2),month(date)) >=200607and convert(varchar(4),year(date))*100+convert(varchar(2),month(date))<=200703*100 this is very crucial because otherwise it will not produce write answer thanks to make a gud logic in my knowledgeRahul Arora MCA 07 BatchNCCE Israna, PanipatHRY, INDIA######################IMPOSSIBLE = I+M+POSSIBLE |

it isn't the same logic at all, and I am pretty convert which uses more resources than mine would. The main issue as Madhivan pointed out is how the dates are stored anyway..If you are going to rewrite other people's answers, at least make it an improvement to the original. Posting bad answers to solved problems only creates more confusion.
