Question

I am writing a query to fetch results for all the values in a column which is of varchar type.. are less than ’29/08/2010′ (date)

My Query:

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE COLUMN1 < '29/08/2010'

Here the column1 is of varchar type. I am using SQL Server 2005

Is there a way to make this possible..??

Pls help me.

Have you tried

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE CONVERT(datetime, COLUMN1, 103) > CONVERT(datetime, '29/08/2010', 103)
