Question

Example (not working like this):

SELECT * FROM User 
WHERE LastActivity > Date(1980,1,1)

Where Date should use the parameters year, month, day as integer numbers. To avoid troubles with locales, I explicitly do not want to use a string like “yyyy/mm/dd” or similar.

I am working with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio on an MSSQL Database, if this matters.

Note: I am sure this is trivial, but I could not find the solution neither using google or SO.

Answer 1

To avoid troubles with locales, I explicitly do not want to use a
string like “yyyy/mm/dd” or similar.

To avoid this, the best way is passing the date as language-neutral like YYYYMMDD. This way it will be language independent:

SELECT * FROM User 
WHERE LastActivity > '19800101';
