Hi friends

I want to pass startdate and endate parameters for a field customer date
during a select query. What is the efficient way of handling this.
Also i want select all when no start and end date are provided.

Thank You in advance

Create a stored procedure like shown below, and pass in the parameters when you call the stored proc. If you don't pass in one or both parameter(s), it will assume not filter by that criterion.

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SomeProcedure
	@StartDate DATE = NULL,
	@EndDate DATE = NULL -- inclusive
AS

SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM yourTable
WHERE
	( YourDateCol >= @StartDate OR @StartDate IS NULL)
	AND 
	( YourDateCol < DATEADD(dd,1,@EndDate) OR @EndDate IS NULL);
GO
