  • RE: Retrieving records for accounts opened between the first day and the last day of previous month

    Why are you converting your dates to strings?

    I have always had problems with BETWEEN dropping records on me, so I never use it. I always go this route:

    SH_ACCT.open_dt >= dateadd(mm,datediff(mm,0,dateadd(mm,-2,getdate())),0)...

  • RE: remove last character from string

    You could always use the RIGHT and LEFT functions.

    Declare @MyVar char(6);

    Set @MyVar = 'abcdef';

    Select @MyVar = LEFT(RIGHT(@MyVar,5),4);

    Select @MyVar;

    UPDATE import_table
