How do you perform a LIKE statement on a column of DateTime datatype in SQL Server?
If I run the following SQL it returns me all the dates with 2009 in.
SELECT * FROM MyTable where CheckDate LIKE '%2009%'
However, if I want all the Oct, Nov & Dec dates I'd expect to be able to do the following:
SELECT * FROM MyTable where CheckDate LIKE '%2009-1%'
But this returns me nothing!
I'm giving the user a filter option where they type in the date string and as they type I filter the data. So if they type '20', I'd like to return all the dates with '20' within the date (so this could be all 2012 dates or a date value like 06/20/1999)
Can anybody help?
I'm using SQL Server 2008.
Thanks in advance.
