SQL Server Management Studio Express

I need to write a stored procedure, which has the same result as in Crystal Reports XI.

In Crystal Reports is like that:

@record selection
…..
and ({@Year}={?Year} or {@year}=({?Year}-1))
and date({@dep arr})<date(year(currentdate),month(currentdate),1)

where the formulas are:
@dep arr
if {M.MType} ="Import" then {M.ArrivalDate}
else if {M.MType} ="Export" then {M.DepartureDate}

@Year
if {M.MType} ="Import" then {%yeararr}
else if {M.MType} ="Export" then {%yeardep}

%yeararr
year("M"."ArrivalDate")

%yeardep
year("M"."DepartureDate")

Please help

If we are using the getdate() in a script which is used in an application. Will it take the server date or will it take the user’s System date??

I tried the below queries in SQLServer 2008 R2 and it is working fine..

select getdate()
select cast(getdate() as date)
select cast(getdate() as time)

select convert(date,getdate())
select convert(time,getdate())

select CONVERT(varchar(10),getdate(),101)
select CONVERT(varchar(10),getdate(),108)

May be this helps..

Let me know if you have any difficulties.

it’s giving below error
Msg 243, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Type TIME is not a defined system type.
Msg 243, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Type DATE is not a defined system type.

DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, [datehere]),0)

in SQL Server 2005 because I once heard it’s faster than the Convert method, which presumably converts the date to and from a varchar. Thoughts?

/*===========================================================================================
* Function to return dates from a given date
* Time is stripped off the given date
* Second parameter determines which date will be returned as follows:
* LDLM = Last Day of Last Month
* FDTM = First Day of This Month
* FDNM = First Day of Next Month
* LDTM = Last Day of This Month
* LDNM = Last day of Next Month
* FDLM = First day of Last Month
*
* The default if a second parameter value is not supplied is Last Day of This Month
* BUT if the value is not supplied the keyword “DEFAULT” must be
* e.g. dbo.DaysOfTheMonth (’2010-04-14′,DEFAULT)
* Might as well supply the real value (LDTM)!
* (included for demo purposes)

I missed that in video as well.
