Question

I’m trying to make this query in MS Access:

   SELECT *  FROM Clients
   WHERE UPPER(name) = 'Theil' 
   AND   To_Char(date_test,'MM')= 08 
   AND  To_Char(date_test, 'yyyy')=2007;

but it says UPPER is not defined, after removing upper and leaving just name = 'Theil' it now says thar To_Char is not defined. My question then is, can I use to_char and UPPER into a where clause?

If it is not possible, how can I select all from clients where certain date is equals to something? thanks.

Answer 1

Those are Oracle functions. The Access equivalent of to_char is datepart:

select datepart(yyyy, datetest)

And upper is matched by ucase:

select ucase(name)
