Hi,
One of the fields in a table is called Import_Date and it is of type smalldatetime. So it shows dates such as:
2007-11-16 11:31:00
2007-11-16 11:31:00
2007-11-16 11:31:00
2007-11-16 11:31:00
...
...

Now I would like to have a select query which shows the dates between last week and today
something like
select Import_Date from table1
where
Import_Date between dateadd(wk, -1, Import_Date) and getdate()

Thanks

select Import_Date from table1
where Import_Date >=dateadd(day, -7, and getdate())

If now is say 10:00 am then doe this query return everything from before 10:00 am since 7 days ago?
It seems not.
I also want to get everything from before the present time on the start date

Strip off the time part from start date using any of methods so that it takes records from last week regardless of time.

something like

Import_Date between dateadd(wk, -1,CAST(CONVERT(varchar(11), getdate())AS datetime)) and getdate()

Well. That should be

select Import_Date from table1
where Import_Date >=dateadd(day, -7, dateadd(day,datediff(day,0,getdate()),0))

You should avoid converting dates to varchar.
