Hi,

I want a select statement to return true/false on whether a date is before or after another giveen date.

I have tried with:
SELECT
(tablename.createdate > '2008-12-10') as beforeAfter
FROM Tablename
...

But I get the error:
Incorrect syntax near '>'.

Is there a workaround to this that anybody know about?

SELECT CASE WHEN CreateDate > '2008-12-10' THEN 'true' ELSE 'false' END AS BeforeAfter
FROM TableName

E 12°55'05.63"
N 56°04'39.26"
