Re: Date conditioned SQL Select

I have a file that I need to read based on a user-input date field

(CYYMMDD).

In SQL, how do I get the select statement to pull records based on a
comparison of these two fields?


If we make the following assumptions:

Today's date is 20060911  and it's represented in the file as 1060911, then 
all we have to do is to add the difference of the 2 values to the smaller 
to get them to compare.

Select * from filename where filedate=(userdate + 19000000)
