Hi All: I am new SQL Programming and i need help in doing following task. I want to write a script that does following thing: --If the date is 11/12/2009 or 11/12/2020 or greater than today's date than display 'D' -- If the date is valid date other than 'D' than disply 'W', -- If the date is blank display '' ( blank'. Please help me in this query. Thanks all.
CASE suits your solution better, I think you have typo in question, 1st case is about BETWEEN the specified dates.CREATE TABLE DateTable(DateCol VARCHAR(50) )INSERT INTO DateTable VALUES (GETDATE())INSERT INTO DateTable VALUES (GETDATE()+4000)INSERT INTO DateTable VALUES (GETDATE()+40000)INSERT INTO DateTable VALUES (NULL)INSERT INTO DateTable VALUES ('')INSERT INTO DateTable VALUES (' ') SELECT CASE WHEN ISDATE(DateCol) = 1 AND CAST(DateCol AS DATETIME) BETWEEN '2009-11-12' AND '2020-11-12' THEN 'D' WHEN ISDATE(DateCol) = 1 THEN 'W' WHEN ISNULL(DateCol, '') = '' THEN '(BLANK)'END AS DateFROM DateTable
