Question

I have a questions related to SQL (teradata in particular).
I have to generate the report for 1 day.

How can I achieve it?

For example, in ms access, I can do

WHERE DT>=#2011-01-01# and DT<=#2011-0101#

What about big-guys? (SQL Server, not MS Access).

I know that it is possible to use

DT between '2011-09-01' and '2011-09-02'

But this method is not precise. How can I specify 1 day using ranged WHERE statement?

I apologize, I don’t have the SQL access and I can’t test it; therefore I am asking for professional advise.

Answer 1

BETWEEN is range-inclusive, so this will do:

DT between '2011-09-01' and '2011-09-01'

And, yes, it is precise 🙂

Now, if your DT is a datetime field (not date field), then you must change your approach:

DT >= '2011-09-01' and DT < '2011-09-02'
