Question

I have table with two columns (startdate & enddate) and I have two submission dates (2012-02-29 & 2012-03-30) I am trying to get the data between startdate (2012-02-29) and the enddate (2012-03-30)

I’ve tried

 i.startdate between '2012-02-29' and i.enddate '2012-03-30'

but that didnt work, I’ve been googling this for hours with no clear answer, any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If I understand correctly:

1. Your table contains two date fields, StartDate and EndDate, that describe a lengthy event.
2. You want to find all the events that fall completely within the period described by two other dates, in this case 2012-02-29 and 2012-03-30.

If this is correct then use this:

 SELECT * FROM Events 
   WHERE StartDate >= '2012-02-29' AND EndDate <= '2012-03-30';
