Hi

I'm fairly new to writing SQL queries and could do with some advice. I have a table called booking in which there is a row called date.

I want to write a query that when a user enters 14/02/09 for example it pulls up every entry on that day.

I tried

SELECT *
FROM Booking
WHERE Date LIKE @Date + '%'

but that gives me a error stating it cant match the dateTime to a varChar2. I have searched the net for examples but can't seem to find what I need, can anyone help at all?

Thanks

SET @Date = '14/02/09'
I assume the date field is Date Time Data type.
Try this!
SELECT *
FROM Booking
WHERE Date between @Date + '00:00:00' and @Date + '23:59:59'

SELECT *
FROM Booking
WHERE Date >=@Date and Date<dateadd(day,1,@date)

Hi

You might also try to cast the @Date variable to date.
SQL Server 2008 has a date datatype

SELECT *
FROM Booking
WHERE Date = cast(@Date as date)
