Hi All,

I am facing a problem when used lessthan or equal codition in a query.

SQL

 StartDate <= CONVERT(datetime, @pi_Date, 101)

@pi_Date = EnteredDate.

when I am using the above condition in where clause of a sql query, I am getting only the records which are lessthan the EnteredDate.

How to get the records for which StartDate is less than or equal to the EnteredDate.

Please help me...

Thanks,
Gopi.

Solution 1

if your @PI_Date exists only of a day a month and a year and now time indiciaton, the time indication is set to 0:00:00.000.

you can add ' 23:59:59.999' to the @pi_Date varchar and your problem is gone.
Another option is to add 1 day to @PI_Date

Solution 2

Hey,

I got the answer for it....

In SQL server 2008 and above, there is a datatype named DATE which gives only date without time... this solved my problem

Happy coding,
Gopi.

Solution 3

To solve the issue without changing the datatype (i.e., using the DateTime datatype), just do this
1. Add 1 day
2. Subtract 1 second.

SQL

set @date = dateadd(s, -1, dateadd(d, 1, @date))
