Question

I am creating an MVC app where I need to send out an email to all those records whose value (DateUpdated) are not updated in the Customer table.

My Customer table looks like this:

ID (PK)  
Name  
Address  
DateLastUpdated

Now I have this MySql query:

 SELECT * FROM users WHERE DateLastUpdated >= NOW() - INTERVAL 6 MONTH 

How I will write it in T-SQL and perform this task in MVC3? Please help!

Answer 1

Your query should be:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE DateLastUpdated >= DateAdd(month, -6, getdate())

Additionally, you may want to strip out the time portion so you are left with just the date e.g. 2011-04-12 00:00:00.000 you can use this:

SELECT  *  
FROM    users  
WHERE   DateLastUpdated >= DateAdd(Month, -6, Cast(Floor(Cast(GetDate() as Float)) as DateTime))
