hello, I am trying to run this query against a linked server to oracle and get an error :

SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(ORA_DB,
'SELECT UP_ID, FORENAME, SURNAME, DOB
FROM STUDENT WHERE DOB < ''getdate()'' ')
GO

err:
Server: Msg 7320, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not execute query against OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA'.

hoew can I do the dob < getdate() ( as this is the problem )

thank you.
Jamie

I'd reccomend just using sysdate, which is oracle's version of getdate or you have to change your query to something like this:
where dbo<' + getdate() + '')'
