SQL Query Beetween <Month> AND <Month>?
If I need to retrieve all records from OCT 2007 to NOV 2007 (inclusive of FEB) how should I build the query?
I tried this but it only returns me records from October.
SELECT *
FROM SNTPEN
WHERE (HB_DATE BETWEEN 'OCT 2007' AND 'NOV 2007')
It is true then when I changed NOV to DEC the results will return what I want but the thing is client will input the period through a webpage.
Something like from OCT 2007 to NOV 2007 and they expect to get all data from OCT to NOV.
I know I can always create a function to increment the month but just would like to know whether is it possible to do on the SQL end.
There are only Month and Year, the client does not want Date to be included because it is a bi-weekly & monthly report.

i will definitely return only records from "oct 1 2007"
to "nov 1 2007"... ^^
im in mssql and i can't see why ur expecting records from
Feb...
in tsql, if you omit the month, it will default to "january",
if day is omitted, it will default to "1",
and if time is omitted, will default to "12:00:00 AM"...
and in addition, your records may have the time part on them,
that will make them fail in your criteria..
here's a code( in tsql) if you want to remove the timepart)
cast(convert(varchar, getutcdate(),112)as datetime)
i hope that i helped in anyways.. peace out.. ^_^v

it looks as if You have only asked for the month of October..if You are wanting a year..You may have to add that to the query.
*S* Good luck! or You may try reversing the order and asking for records from the month of Nov. thru the month of Oct, 2007..

Depends on the RDBMS, some implement a month function, or a function to convert to text. If that is the case, change the date to YYYYMM and do your between.

Did you try changing NOV to DEC?
SELECT *
FROM SNTPEN
WHERE (HB_DATE BETWEEN 'OCT 2007' AND 'DEC 2007')
