Question

I have the following dynamic query to check if today’s date is between the FTOStartDate and FTOEndDDate from a data table.

I am getting the following errors:

Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 18
Invalid column name ‘FTOStartDate’.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 19
Invalid column name ‘FTOEndDate’.

All the examples I looked at used a variable in the convert function; I need to use a column name from the data table.

Thanks,
Brad

SET @env = dbo.GetSQLEnvironment();
SET @assigned_claim_table = 'grp_clm_ops_d' + @env + '.dbo.cauDCMFToAssign';

SET @sql = 'SELECT DCMNumber,  FTOStartDate ' + 
           'FROM ' + @assigned_claim_table + ' ' +
           'WHERE '  + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 110) + 
           ' NOT BETWEEN ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), FTOStartDate, 110) + 
           'AND ' +  CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), FTOEndDate, 110) + ' '

EXEC sp_executesql @sql;

Why not do:

SET @sql = 'SELECT DCMNumber,  FTOStartDate ' + 
           'FROM ' + @assigned_claim_table + ' ' +
           'WHERE CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 110) NOT BETWEEN ' + 
           ' CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), FTOStartDate, 110) AND CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), FTOEndDate, 110)'

SQL Server has no issue running converts inside of a dynamic query.
