I was trying to make a query that would delete the rows according to the current date. it worked. but now, I wished if its possible to delete the data on a specified time. so the user can select when he/she wishes to delete the data. for example 4am. how do i do that with the current code I have. Please help.

SQL

Solution 2

CurTime() is also the Smae function as CurDate(); So if CurDate() is Working then CurTime() should also work.
Try it.

Hi,Go through the following code you can change the condition as you want.You can pass the parameter for date time on which you want to delete the record. I have commented code for delete query first check with select then if it is ok then execute delete statement

declare @date1 varchar(16)
--set @date1='2013-02-24 01:10'
set @date1=convert(varchar(10),getdate(),120)+' 01:35:00'
select *,convert(datetime,rct,111)
--,@date1
from photo_test where convert(datetime,rct,111) > convert(datetime,@date1,111)

--Delete from photo_test where convert(datetime,rct,111) > convert(datetime,@date1,111)
