Question

I’m writing a SQL query on a timesheet report. I need the report to return only the details for the week of the selected date.

E.g., if I pick 02/01/2012 (dd/MM/yyyy), then it should only return results between 02/01/2012 and 08/01/2012.

Thanks

SELECT
  *
FROM
  yourTable
WHERE
  dateField >= @yourDate
  AND dateField < @yourDate + 7

Some variations of SQL may have specific ways of adding 7 days to a datevalue. Such as…
– DateAdd(Day, 7, @date)
– DATE_ADD(@date, INTERVAL 7 DAYS)
– etc, etc

This option is both index friendly, and is resilient to database fields that have time parts as well as date parts.
