Query Help Needed

Hi

I have a table of job ids and dates. What query will get me the job id of
the earliest job after yesterday i.e. a job that is either today, or if
there is no job today, a job that is as soon as possible after today.

Thanks

Regards

You may wish to try:

SELECT job_id
FROM table_name As j
WHERE job_date = (SELECT MAX(job_date) FROM table_name
WHERE job_date <= Date() )
