to:
and cast(h.created as datetime) < dateadd(hour, 2, convert(datetime, floor(convert(float, getdate())))))

Please post the execution plan for the query. Then we can really help out.

One of the problems I've seen that causes Excel-as-database solutions is where IT has some byzantine policy for software specification, and it's complex and painful enough that nobody wants to...

Jeff, something I have to ask:
You keep mentioning that recursive CTEs are worse than cursors. I can see that in some cases, but in cases like a hierarchy crawl,...

Glad I could help.
I can understand why char(0) wouldn't work, since it's basically the lack of a character.

One thing I find useful, when presenting a case for whatever (expense or anything else), is rehearse it first (if it'll involve any face-to-face, or might).

Take a look at "Cast and Convert" in Books Online. It has the data on how to get formatted dates out of the system more easily than that.

Experience counts more than training, in many cases, because so many people get degrees/certs, but don't actually know anything of any value. Not saying that's true in your case,...
