  • 0

I have some data in a table and I want to query it for data from it and depending upon when the query is is executed I want the query to take the current time stamp into consideration.

For example

declare @data table (id int, value nvarchar (50))

insert into @data values (1, 'First value')
insert into @data values (2, 'Second value')
insert into @data values (3, 'Third value')
insert into @data values (4, 'Fourth value')

Query 1 

select * from @data
where value != 'First value'
and (value != 'Second value' and  '2012-08-30 23:59:59' between '2012-08-30 23:59:59' and '2012-09-15 23:59:59')

Query 1 Returns ‘Third value’ and ‘Fourth value’

Query 2

select * from @data
where value != 'First value'
and (value != 'Second value' and  '2012-08-29 23:59:59' between '2012-08-30 23:59:59' and '2012-09-15 23:59:59')

Query 2 don’t return any values, I want it to return
‘Second value’
‘Third value’
‘Fourth value’

All help is appreciated

Jesper

    Your second query will never return any values, as ‘2012-08-29 23:59:59’ is not between the other two dates.

    It will certainly never return ‘Second Value’, as you specifically exclude it.

    I think you need to be a bit clearer on the logic you are trying to implement, maybe replacing the last AND with an OR NOT will get you closer, but this is a guess.

    select * from @data
where value != 'First value'
and (value != 'Second value' OR NOT ( '2012-08-29 23:59:59' between '2012-08-30 23:59:59' and '2012-09-15 23:59:59'))
