How do I query for all dates greater than a certain date in SQL Server?
select *
from dbo.March2010 A
where A.Date >= Convert(datetime, '2010-04-01' )
In your query, 2010-4-01
is treated as a mathematical expression, so in essence it read
select *
from dbo.March2010 A
where A.Date >= 2005;
(2010 minus 4 minus 1 is 2005
Converting it to a proper datetime
, and using single quotes will fix this issue.)
Technically, the parser might allow you to get away with
select *
from dbo.March2010 A
where A.Date >= '2010-04-01'
it will do the conversion for you, but in my opinion it is less readable than explicitly converting to a DateTime
for the maintenance programmer that will come after you.
Try enclosing your date into a character string.
select *
from dbo.March2010 A
where A.Date >= '2010-04-01';
We can use like below as well
SELECT *
FROM dbo.March2010 A
WHERE CAST(A.Date AS Date) >= '2017-03-22';
SELECT *
FROM dbo.March2010 A
WHERE CAST(A.Date AS Datetime) >= '2017-03-22 06:49:53.840';
