I am trying to get data as follows
WHERE DateCommande = '2018-09-05'
but it doesn't work on my computer.
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Commande;
Returns rows, including rows that show 2018-09-05
as the datetime value in a datetime
column.
However, on SSMS on my computer, if I add a WHERE
clause, the query returns 0 rows:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Commande
WHERE DateTimeColumn = '2018-09-05 00:00:00.000';
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.000
is not a language- and regional settings-safe format!
SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '2021-09-07');
SET LANGUAGE Nederlands;
SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '2021-09-07');
Results (db<>fiddle):
-----------------------
2021-09-07 00:00:00.000
-----------------------
2021-07-09 00:00:00.000
Please use yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.000
- that T is extremely important. So:
WHERE DateCommande = '2018-09-05T00:00:00.000';
Or in your case, probably just something closer to what you have in your question, not what you have in your screenshot:
WHERE DateCommande = '20180905'; -- YYYYMMDD *not* YYYY-MM-DD
But unless you only want those rows without time or are sure there is never going to be a time associated with the date (in which case, why isn't the data type date
?), neither of those queries will be safe. Better to say:
WHERE DateCommande >= '20180905'
AND DateCommande < '20180906';
