How do I query dates

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 02:43 AM PDT

Seems simple enuf? So I have a datetime field in a db which happens to be 04/10/2013I do a select * from orderswherecreate_date like '%/10/%'returns nothing. So clear not that simple. I have a URL with either a date &date=11/11/2011 or d=a&m=2&y=2012I need to do w where (day in date_created=url.d) or some such. Better still where date_created=url.dateThanks for your patience with something that has to be SO simple ... did google it and looked up a couple of reference books!

Any values other than 1 should be equal to 0 is the condition. NOTE: entry is a varchar column[code] IF (SELECT COALESCE((SELECT dI.[entry] FROM dbo.InitialData AS dI WITH(NOLOCK) WHERE dI.Dept = 'Reporting' AND dI.entry_name = 'PledgeRequireBatch' AND dI.orgID = 1234 AND dI.[entry] <> 1), 0)) = 1 BEGIN Select * from InitialData END ELSE Select TOP 1 * FROM InitialData[/code]I am getting the else statement result always but that is not what i want1 Marketing Timesservedstartdate 8/6/2012 12:00:00 AM 1234
