- Go into SQL Server Management Studio;
- Open the SQL file you've just unzipped (you can press CTRL + O to do this); then
- Execute this script.
This will generate the database that you'll need to use in order to do this exercise (note that the database and script are only to be used for exercises published on this website, and may not be reused or distributed in any form without the prior written permission of Wise Owl).
You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
Create a query which lists out all of the events which took place in February 2005:

Your query should return these two events.
To put it another way, list out all the events which took place between 1st February 2005 and 28th February 2005.
Save this query as February 2005, then close it down.
select * from tblEvent
where Year(EventDate) = 2005 and MONTH(EventDate) = 2
select * from tblEvent
where EventDate between '2005-02-01' and '2005-02-28'
select EventName as what,EventDate as 'when'
from dbo.tblEvent
where EventDate >= '20050201'
and EventDate <= '20050228'
SELECT EventName AS 'WHAT',
EventDate AS 'WHEN'
FROM tblEvent
WHERE EventDate BETWEEN '2005-02-01' AND '2005-02-28';
--1st
SELECT *
FROM
tblEvent
WHERE EventDate LIKE '2005-02%'
--2nd
SELECT *
FROM
blEvent
WHERE EventDate BETWEEN '2005-02-01' AND '2005-02-28'
Use the YEAR function for an even easier way ...
SELECT *
FROM tblEvent
WHERE Year(EventDate) = '2005' AND Month(EventDate) = '2'
SELECT *
FROM tblEvent
WHERE Year(EventDate) = '2005'
AND Month(EventDate) = '2'
AND DAY(EventDate) BETWEEN '1' AND '28'
Better - but you shouldn't put the inverted commas round the numbers, as they aren't text!
select *
from [dbo].[tblEvent]
where DATEPART(yyyy, EventDate) = 2005 and
DATEPART(month, EventDate) = 2
There's an easier way to do this - any offers, anyone?
SELECT EventName AS What,
EventDate AS [When]
FROM tblEvent
WHERE EventDate between '2005-02-01' and '2005-02-28'
