Hello,

I'm trying to get all the records in my table that have a specific date. But I get no results.

The date column has the data type datetime and is stored like, for example, 11/01/2008 14:45:17 (dd/mm/yyyy)

So if I want to see al the records with date 11 januari 2008 I tried to do

SELECT *
FROM MyTable
WHERE date = '11/01/2008'

I also tried this

SELECT *
FROM MyTable
WHERE date LIKE '11/01/2008%'

But I get no results or no error message.

I checked the forum for an answer and found this solution

Select
*
from
NyTable
Where
MyDateColumn >= '20060114' and
MyDateColumn < '20060115'

but that doesn't work either.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance
Wouter

Try:-
SELECT *
FROM MyTable
WHERE date >'11 Jan 2008'
AND date <'12 Jan 2008'

This wont work if language of the server is not ENGLISH
The correct method is

SELECT *
FROM MyTable
WHERE date >='20080111'
AND date <'20080112'
