Question

I want to create two DATETIME variables I can use to check with BETWEEN AND when given just one DATETIME in a stored procedure on SQL Server 2008.

So, when I get 2012/12/31 15:32:12 as input, I want to generate two new variables out of that, being @from = 2012/12/31 00:00:00 and @to = 2012/12/31 23:59:59.

These two variables are used to check if the records lie between them – that is, are on the same day as the input date.

I fooled around using CAST and CONVERT, but I don’t really konw how to manipulate the dates in the way I want.

Should I do this another way? Or are there functions I’m not aware of?

Answer 1

Now it is version independedt

declare @from datetime, @to datetime

SET @from = convert(varchar, convert(datetime, '2012/12/31 15:32:12', 111), 112)
SET @to = DATEADD(day, 1, @from)

select * from yourtable where test date >= @from AND date < @to
