[SQL Server] comparing a column to Todays date |
| comparing a column to Todays date Posted: 09 Sep 2013 04:01 AM PDT how do we compare a column name "LogDATE" to todays date and if its exists we print out a statement saying the record exists. Ideally we would check the max row and check that the max row has todays date and if it does we print out a statement as " record exist no further action"thanks I tried this but it will give me 9/9 and 9/8 i just want 9/9 or just todays date SELECT LogDATEfrom Xlog WHERE LogDATE >= Convert(datetime, Convert(int, GetDate())) |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2013 11:52 PM PDT I am currently reading Itzik Ben Gans book about Microsoft Server 2008 TSQL Fundamentals and I have run into another code example I cannot seem to grasp. The following code runs correctly and selects the data how it should:[code] Select empid, SUM(Case when custid = 'a' then qty end) As A, SUM(Case when custid = 'b' then qty end) AS B, SUM(Case when custid = 'c' THEN qty end) AS C, SUM(Case when custid = 'd' THEN qty end) AS DFROM dbo.ordersGROUP BY empid;[/code]I just don't seem to understand how/why this works? Thank you! |
