Re: Best method using SQL to combine date fields (day, month, year)

Bradley,

I would use Alan's iDate UDF and pass the combined fields
select idate(&month || &day || &year, format) from filename

That will return a usable date.

Ok, building some dynamic SQL statements.

Got to a file that has date separated into year, month and day fields. Ugh.

So, wondering the best/easiest way to combine these so I can use them in an
SQL statement? Hopefully some magical SQL command that I can use inline?

Thanks!
