I need help on writing a query for both these scenarios :

1. The current date is equal to or greater than 92 days past a semester start date.
2. The current date is not greater than 92 days past a semester start date.

Semester start date is a column..
Thank you..

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is correct, it returns the full date and time :
2009-10-26 04:58:24

GEDATE returns always return a time of 0 ( the date is correct though )

example : 2009-10-26 00:00:00

Si in my case i prefered to use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP because i sort my news by time, and i might have several news an hour.

BTW the only one of the three that works within a DTS package against a legacy KB-SQL ODBC datasource is {fn NOW()}.

I’m a newbie, and am guessing it is because the others aren’t understood by the KB-SQL’s flavour of SQL?

Anyway, very glad that I remembered your post (which I’d already referred to for straight MSSQL queries) and found that one out of three worked in the context of what I was doing.

So, while they’re all the same performance-wise, there is a crucial difference in breadth of application.

Thanks again.

Will you please tell me how to format Date as “mmm-dd-yyyy hh:mm” in SQL server 2005 & in Ms-Access.

Will you please tell me how to format Date as “mmm-dd-yyyy hh:mm” in SQL server 2005 & ms-access

Or

Is there any solution for that?

I need a column if it doesn’t specified on insert it’s default value should be current date time!

you can do that by using Datetime conversion functions available in SQL..
like
select convert(varchar(10),getdate(),105)

Can anyone tell me how to find the difference of (year/month/day) birth date to till date.

can i retrieve the values for time between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm from apptime column in database, does any one help me

1. First question, Can Getdate() be used as default value to a column ?
Ans: Yes, GetDate() can be used as a default value for a column.

2. Second Question, when I update a row, will this field update itself ?
Ans: No. It will not update by itself, you will have to update this manually.

Consider below script as example.

create table #Example1 ( Eid Int, Ename varchar(40), Date_Time datetime default (Getdate()))

Insert into #Example1 (Eid, Ename) values ( 1, ‘SQL’ )
Insert into #Example1 (Eid, Ename) values ( 2, ‘SQQ’ )

Select * from #Example1

– Now update statment.

Update #Example1
Set Ename = ‘SQL’
, Date_Time = Getdate() — updating manually.
Where Eid = 2

Select * From #Example1.

Drop table #Example1.

How ever, this could be done automatically as well,

You can have a FOR UPDATE or AFTER UPDATE Trigger created on the table.

This trigger will fire when there is any update on the table, and inside this trigger, you can update your datetime column with the current datetime.

You can also use, if update statement inside trigger, to be specific, mentioning if there is any update for these specific columns only then update date_time column.

I dont suggest using trigger though, if you see many updates on the table. This could decrease your application performance significantly.

I want to create database backup file with current date and time.
For example : database name is : RemoteDatabase
Current Date Time is : 10 August 2009 11:29 AM

How can I give this name to my .bak file?

Or if it is not possible can I provide time only like
RemoteDatabase_11:29AM.bak

Thanks
