No. And I hope you're not storing dates as strings.

Hi,
I suppose that the date-column is defined as datetime so you must first use CONVERT-function to convert the text to datetime. For example:
SELECT *
FROM test
WHERE date BETWEEN CONVERT(datetime, '8/08/1429', 131) AND CONVERT(datetime, '12/08/1429', 131)
Important! the conversion was made using Hijri calendar, based on your other other posts.
Hope this helps,
Mika

Hi kareem,
Why do y0u need the like? Why not just :
Select * from test where date between '%8/08/1429%' and '%12/08/1429%'
Or possibly try:
Select * from test where date between (like '%8/08/1429%') and (like %12/08/1429%')
Help that helps or I have misunderstood the problem and there is a far deeper reason for your query than is obvious from the data you have given.

Be more specific? Are you trying to take a SQL 2000 database and move it to SQL 2005? Or, are you wanting to learn how to use SQL 2005 after using SQL 2000?

In my Database Tables,i need to set Multivalued Attributes to my Coloumns.

Hi,
I think this is purely modeling question. You should store busses in one table and their routes in another. Optionally you can define possible sources and destinations in another table.
For example:
Table Bus
- busno int
Table BusStop
- BusStopKey int
- BusStopText varchar(50)
Table BusRoute
- busno int (reference to bus)
- SourceBusStopKey int (reference to BusStop)
- DestinationBusStopKey int (reference to BusStop)
Hope this helps,
Mika

hey Mika.
dint getwat u wantd to explain,let me elaborate a bit more.
eg.

kindly explain in a bit detail,m really new to Databas Field.
Thanx..

Hi,
I understood that you are designing tables and wondering how they should be modelled but is that data already stored in table? If so, is the problem in creating a select statement?
Mika
|
|
|
|
|
ya mika,only in select command.
a very small problem as such,but a big one for me.
pl help...
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, sorry about the misunderstanding.
I'm still having some trouble in understanding how the data is stored. Are they stored in two tables as I would imagine? Could you post the table names and their column names so we can go through creating a select on them.
Mika

let me tell the whole proble.
i want to design a database.in it i have a Table which has all the BusRouteNo.
Bno(int).
in another Table i have
BusStops.
BNo(int)
Stops(char)
this Table BusStops is for every BusNo. running.
Now i have to have a Select Query such tha when i select two Stops(char) i get all the Bno(int) that pass through those two particular Stops(char).
pl tell me if i can refine my Table and tell me the Select Query for the Same.
Thanx.

So your data for BusRouteNo table was (3 rows):
BNo
---
73
36
457
And for BusStops table it was (9 rows):
BNo Stops
--- -----
73 abc
73 xyz
73 wer
36 qwe
36 abc
36 wer
457 abc
457 ghi
457 klm
And you wanted to get busses 73 and 36 based on their stops so that if the bus stops on both 'abc' and 'wer' they are selected.
If you don't want any data from busstops I would use correlated exists-clause like following:
SELECT *
FROM bus
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM busstops bs1
WHERE bs1.BNo = bus.BNo
AND bs1.Stops = 'abc')
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM busstops bs2
WHERE bs2.BNo = bus.BNo
AND bs2.Stops = 'wer')
Would this help you

hi mika,what u told did work.
one more help from u..
i am usin Visual Studio 2005.
here i am using DropDown List to select the Source and Destination for the Bus.
Now my problem is that in the Select Query u told me,how to pass the values of the Items Selected from the DropDownList.SelectedItems.Value.
the Selected Buses can be Idsplayed using a GridView.
the Select Query is working fine when i pass the values explicitly in the Sql Server 2000-Query Analyser.
i am not able to understand where to write the Sql Select Query with the
"DropDownList.SelectedItems.Value" in my Visual Sudio ".aspx" file.
m having tables exactly the way u told me.
hope u got what i want to say...
thanx...

This can be done by using parameters. In this cas when user selects a bus, you should retrieve the selected value and place it in a parameter. The sql statement could look like following (just using a parameter for bus):
SELECT *
FROM bus
WHERE BusNo = @BusNo
Then you create a parameter named @BusNo (the name can be whatever you like as long as it's the same in parameter object and sql statement) using SqlParameter -class and set a value to the parameter.
For further details see SqlParameter Class[^]

hi all
we are developing windows application ,for this we have to take database backup from our application using C#,we wrote code for this ,but it is not working ,it is showing below error message.
error Message:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open backup device

Could you post the t-sql statement for backup. Most likely the directory does not exist or the backup device does not exist.
