Hi All,
I have a small problem.
I have a project in which someone has got three integer fields for
holding the date. DD, MM, YYYY in an sql database. I now have to
have a page that inputs two dates and select records between those two
dates.
If I had a date field in the table it would be fairly simple, but I'm
hoping to do this search/comparison without having to rewrite the
pages/database that has already been designed.
Start Date: 11/05/2005
End Date: 11/04/2005
SELECT * FROM blah WHERE mm BETWEEN 04 AND 05 AND dd BETWEEN 11 AND 11
AND yyyy BETWEEN 2005 AND 2005
Doesn't work for obvious reasons. Is there any way that I can do
this date comparison I the SQL statement without having a decent date
field?
My apologies as this is australian date format and this list is in the
US I think?
Regards
Matthew
