Hi Madhivanan,
select dateadd(day,datediff(day,0,getdate()),0)
gives strange result for 2011-03-29 23:59:00.000
returns 2011-03-10 00:00:00.000
Any one else noticed that one !!

How can I select fields that are created in the past 12hrs? I have a column with creation date in the table.

By: Madhivanan

Madhivanan — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 18:29:19 +0000

Where clause should be

WHERE table.CreateDate >=dateadd(day,datediff(day,0,getdate()),0) and table.CreateDate

By: Monica

Monica — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 16:14:18 +0000

What if I need the current “day” in a dynamic view … see below … what would i use?

CREATE VIEW ViewName_VW as
SELECT table.field1
, table.field2
, table.field3
, table.field4
, table.field5
, table.CreateDate
FROM table
WHERE table.CreateDate Like ‘Oct 5 2010%’

(but CreateDate value will change daily …)

Should I not create such a view?
Or should I create the view in a different way?

Thanks!

Date formation is the job of the front end application
You shoudl use convert function in sql, only if you dont output the results in front end application
