Hi I want to convert string to int but '/' should be escaped.
I'm trying :

SQL

select [R-Date] from Reg where (CONVERT(INT,Reg.[R-Date] ESCAPE'/') BETWEEN 13920201 AND 13920222

but I get error :

SQL

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ESCAPE'.

and when I remove escape '/' I get:

Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '1392/02/11' to data type int.

Looks like you are missing a closing bracket.

Have you tried:

SQL

SELECT [R-Date] FROM  Reg WHERE (CONVERT(INT,REPLACE(Reg.[R-Date], '/', '') )) BETWEEN 13920201 AND 13920222

But that value looks more date-ish than integer. What are you trying to do here? Wouldn't date datatypes be a better idea altogether?

Thanks man it really worked

What I'm trying to do here is:
due to that date/time format isn't suitable for Persian date;
i had to save my date as string!
and also i wanted to display dates in my report and i couldn't convert all of my records every time i SELECT them

the only problem was in selecting between 2 dates and you solved it for me

Thanks again
