操作数类型clash int与sql server中的日期不兼容

Question

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE2 
(
EMPLOYEEID INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1),
FIRSTNAME VARCHAR(50)NULL,
LASTNAME VARCHAR(50)NULL,
SALARY bigint NOT NULL,
JOININGDATE DATE NOT NULL,
DEPARTMENTNAME VARCHAR(50)
)

This is the table I have created. And I now want to insert the values given below.

INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE2 (FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME,SALARY,JOININGDATE,DEPARTMENTNAME)
VALUES('JOHN','ABRAHAM',1000000,2013-01-01,'BANKING'),
('MICHAEL','CLERK',800000,2013-01-01,'INSURENCE'),
('ROY','THOMOS',700000,2013-01-01,'BANKING'),
('TOM','JOSE',600000,2013-02-01,'INSURENCE'),
('JERRY','PINTO',650000,2013-02-01,'INSURENCE'),
('PHILIP','MATHEW',750000,2013-01-01,'SERVICES'),
('TESTNAME1','123',650000,2013-01-01,'SERVICES'),
('JOHN','COOK',600000,2013-02-01,'INSURENCE');

But now I am getting an error like:

Operand type clash: int is incompatible with date

Answer 1

Put quotes around your date. ie '2013-01-01' not 2013-01-01. It's treating them like integers and subtracting one from 2013 twice...
