Question

I have Two columns in my table "Edition"

Now when I pass two dates, then the output should be all the rows but for all the rows in between should add "New" as a Result.

So, My table contains:

id          edition_date            
----------- ----------------------- 
242         2011-01-01 00:00:00.000 
243         2011-02-01 00:00:00.000 
244         2011-03-01 00:00:00.000 
245         2011-04-01 00:00:00.000  

When I pass 2012-02-01 and 2012-03-31

Desired OUTPUT:

id          edition_date            Result   
----------- ----------------------- ----------- 
242         2011-01-01 00:00:00.000 
243         2011-02-01 00:00:00.000 New
244         2011-03-01 00:00:00.000 New
245         2011-04-01 00:00:00.000 

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

declare @start datetime, @end datetime
select @start = convert(datetime, '2011-02-01',120),
       @end = convert(datetime, '2011-03-01',120)

select *,
    case when edition_date between @start and @end then 'New' end as Result
from
    Edition
