I can't retrieve the Date greater than or equal to a specific date in Sql.

Question

String sql="select * from offerpoolride 
WHERE date >= '1997-05-05'";

I am a beginner and Can anyone please help me how to retrieve those?

Answer 1

I'm not 100% sure about ANSI-SQL, but in T-SQL you would use the following:

SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE [date] >= '19970505'

So the date is input in format 'yyyyMMdd'. I am assuming your field is called date...

Answer 2

use backtick for date

SELECT * FROM `offerpoolride` WHERE `date` >= '1997-05-05';

Answer 3

you should be comparing dates as dates

String sql="select * from offerpoolride WHERE date(my_date) >= date '1997-05-05'";

It should do your job.
