Question

I want to select the value between the date

Table1

Code Period  Datefrom   dateto     Value
001  07/2011 01/07/2009 10/07/2009 100
211  07/2009 01/07/2009 05/07/2009 200

From the above table i want to check the date between datefrom and dateto, if the date is in between or equal to datefrom dateto means, it should return the value of the empcode

Tried Query

SELECT Value
FROM table1
Where Period = '07/2009'
and Code = '211'
and Cast('02/07/2009' as Datetime) between datefrom and dateto

Expected Output:

code value
211  200

The above query is showing null value, it should return 200.

What wrong in my query?

Answer 1

Your Cast('02/07/2009' as Datetime) brings to you 7th February by default
use this instead

SELECT Code, Value 
FROM table1 
Where 
    Period = '07/2009' 
and Code = '211'  
and CONVERT(DATETIME, '02/07/2009', 103) between datefrom and dateto

BUT

You, probably have to convert datefrom and dateto columns too if they are of varchar type.
