RE: SQL date comparison - a better way?

I wish I could.  It's packaged software so my hands are tied with respect to
their database.

I don't think we have any records prior to 1940 but most of our database
will be prior to 2000 so I have to have some way of determining the 20th
century from the 21st.

Get with at least the 90's and update the fields to Date Data Types.

;-)  Just couldn't resist.

What you have looks good for what you need to do.  Do you really have dates
before 1940?  If not you could get rid of that part.
Like somebody else suggested, you may want to look into user defined
functions. Just depends how often you plan on running this
statement.
