I have a table (tblMessage) with columns (id, title, contents, publishingDateTime, status). The publishingDateTime column is the Date in which the message will publish. I want to change the value of column (status) automatically from (pending to published - OR - from false to true) when it is reached to its publishingDateTime.

How it is possible in Sql Server 2005?

Hi,

You need to change the status column in the table to a calculated field. This will need to be calculated like:

SQL

Case when publishingdatetime

This will result in 0 if pending or 1 if published.

If you prefer you can replace the 0 and 1 in the calculation to pending or published and then the status column will return the text instead
