Question

I have a table that has a TASK_START_DATE and TASK_FINISH_DATE Columns of type datetime

I need help with a query that returns all Tasks when the Task: (date = just the date – I think I can do a conversion to the date from datetime on SQL 2008R2, it works fine)

– is within 2 weeks previous of the current date or two weeks after the current date.

Similarly I also need the records whose TaskEnd values are within 2 weeks previous or two weeks before

I’ve been trying things like which would get tasks where the start date is within the two previous weeks, but I have to do the same for TASK_FINISH_DATE and I think my and’s and or’s are all jumbled up, any help is appreciated.

Convert(Date, TASK_START_DATE) <=  Convert(Date, DateAdd(ww, -2, GetDate())) 

Short version:
How do I correctly write a query that combines all records with the TASK_START_DATE OR TASK_END_DATE within two weeks in the future or past, i.e.

Select Task_ID, TASK_NAME, TASK_START_DATE, TASK_END_DATE
where 
???

Answer 1

You can add days to your date for comparision:

Select * from Table
Where column between getdate()-14 and getdate()+14
