Question

I have a SQL Server 2005 table called ‘Contracts’:

CREATE TABLE Contracts (
    ContractNo int not null,
    ExpirationDate smalldatetime not null,
    NotificationInAdvancedDays int not null
)

I want to display only the contracts that are within the notification period (ExpirationDate+DaysNotificationInAdvanced) or contracts that are expired (ExpirationDate<CurrentDate).

Answer 1

You can achieve it like this:

SELECT * 
FROM Contracts 
WHERE GETDATE() > DATEADD(day,-1*daysInAdvance,expirationDate) 
OR expirationDate < GETDATE()
