Home Forums SQL Server 2008 T-SQL (SS2K8) DateDiff help to verify my code is correct or not? RE: DateDiff help to verify my code is correct or not?

  • I haven't seen all the other threads but from what you posted I can't figure out why you are using DATEDIFF at all. It doesn't meet your requirements and it will make your query nonSARGable.

    I think that something like this should meet your requirements. Of course as Lynn stated this doesn't accomodate NULL values in any of those columns.

    [WorkForce_JobPosting].[Job Posting End Date_JP] < [WorkForce_WorkOrder].[Work Order End Date_WO]

    AND

    [WorkForce_WorkOrder].[Previous Work Order End Date_WO] <= [WorkForce_WorkOrder].[Work Order End Date_WO]
