Home Forums SQL Server 2008 T-SQL (SS2K8) Need guidance on how to Insert a new record between existing records RE: Need guidance on how to Insert a new record between existing records

  • This is nothing more than updating the table where date is greater than the date being passed in. The reason you are having a problem is because you have dates stored as an integer. You first have to painstakingly split that int into a usable datetime and this becomes trivial.

    Update YourTable

    set CardNumber = NewCardNumber

    where MemberNbr = PassedInMemberNbr

    and EffectiveDate >= PassedInDate

    If there is ANY chance you can change this table to use the correct datatype for dates it will go a long way to making your life easier.
