Hi team,

I have an SQL Server 2008.

I have created table with few columns including date.

my table looks like:-

Name 28/04/2013 29/04/2013 30/04/2013 Time .. ... ...

What i need is how do i select all information where name and date is today?

for example

Name 28/04/2013 29/04/2013 30/04/2013 Time .. ... ...
xx 123 667 233 11:00 .. ... ...
yy 888 666 55 09:00 .. ... ...

i need to query which will get all values where name is = to xx and current date's coloumn value.

my output should be like for today 30-04-2013

xx 233 11:00
i use vb.net as front end

Please help me.

Never heard of keeping dates as column names. Could have kept another table right?

Try this:

SQL

SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE CONVERT(DATE,CONVERT(DATETIME, YourColumnName, 103))=CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()) AND Name='YourParameter'

CONVERT(DATETIME,'01/04/2013') returns 4th Jan when you were expecting 1st April

OP will have to use SELECT convert(datetime, '01/04/2013', 103). I updated my solution.
