Hey all,

was wondering something. I need to write a query that will select a record count based on wether or not any new records were added in the last 2 minutes based off a smalldatetime field. the field is called IncidentTime how would i write this query?

select count(*) from cnEventLog where IncidentTime > and <= getDate()

i will then be using the reurned count in a vb.net application.

any help is appreciated.

thanks,
John
