How do I query DateTime database field within a certain range?
I am using SQL SERVER 2005
Error code below
SELECT *
FROM TABLENAME
WHERE DateTime >= 12/04/2011 12:00:00 AM
AND DateTime <= 25/05/2011 3:53:04 AM
Note that I need to get rows within a certain time range. Example, 10 mins time range.
Currently SQL return with Incorrect syntax near '12'."
You missed single quote sign:
SELECT *
FROM TABLENAME
WHERE DateTime >= '12/04/2011 12:00:00 AM' AND DateTime <= '25/05/2011 3:53:04 AM'
Also, it is recommended to use ISO8601 format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.nnn[ Z ], as this one will not depend on your server's local culture.
SELECT *
FROM TABLENAME
WHERE
DateTime >= '2011-04-12T00:00:00.000' AND
DateTime <= '2011-05-25T03:53:04.000'
This has worked for me in both SQL Server 2005 and 2008:
SELECT * from TABLE
WHERE FIELDNAME > {ts '2013-02-01 15:00:00.001'}
AND FIELDNAME < {ts '2013-08-05 00:00:00.000'}
You need quotes around the string you're trying to pass off as a date, and you can also use BETWEEN here:
SELECT *
FROM TABLENAME
WHERE DateTime BETWEEN '04/12/2011 12:00:00 AM' AND '05/25/2011 3:53:04 AM'
See answer to the following question for examples on how to explicitly convert strings to dates while specifying the format:
You can execute below code
SELECT Time FROM [TableName] where DATEPART(YYYY,[Time])='2018' and DATEPART(MM,[Time])='06' and DATEPART(DD,[Time])='14
SELECT *
FROM TABLENAME
WHERE [DateTime] >= '2011-04-12 12:00:00 AM'
AND [DateTime] <= '2011-05-25 3:35:04 AM'
If this doesn't work, please script out your table and post it here. this will help us get you the correct answer quickly.
select getdate()

Others have already said that date literals in SQL Server require being surrounded with single quotes, but I wanted to add that you can solve your month/day mixup problem two ways (that is, the problem where 25 is seen as the month and 5 the day) :
Use an explicit Convert(datetime, 'datevalue', style) where style is one of the numeric style codes, see Cast and Convert. The style parameter isn't just for converting dates to strings but also for determining how strings are parsed to dates.
Use a region-independent format for dates stored as strings. The one I use is 'yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss', or consider ISO format, yyyy-mm-ddThh:mi:ss.mmm. Based on experimentation, there are NO other language-invariant format string. (Though I think you can include time zone at the end, see the above link).
if you have a type of datetime and you want to check between dates only ,,,use cast to select between two dates ....
example...
... where cast( Datetime as date) >= cast( Datetime as date) AND cast( Datetime as date) <= cast( Datetime as date)
where date = 1/12/2011for example, it will appear to work, but actually divide 1/12/2011 and get zero, and then treat zero as the minimum possible datetime value.
