DatePart query

Hi Group,
i am trying to use the DatePart function on my SQL2000 database. I have a
table called visitors with a field called DateTimeEntranc e which is filled
everytime a visitor enters the site. I am trying to build a stat page where
i display the total amount of visitors per day, week, month, year and i
can't seem to get the syntax correct.
I get an error with the following code:

sql = "SELECT * FROM tblVisitors WHERE (DatePart("yyyy ",
[datetimeentranc e])) = (DatePart("yyyy ", date()))"

can anyone help me with the correct syntax?

thanks in advance for any help received

sql = "SELECT * FROM tblVisitors WHERE (DatePart("yyyy ",
[datetimeentranc e])) = (DatePart("yyyy ", date()))"

1) You didn't escape your quotes (double them up)
2) DatePart uses a different format than VB, refer to BOL

sql="SELECT [columnX], [columnY] FROM tblVisitors WHERE
DATEPART(yyyy,[datetimeentranc e])=DATEPART(yyyy ,GETDATE())"

I think that's right

Hi,
thanks Tom for your help. I still don't have it working. You said i didn't
escape my quotes(double them up) but in your example you have none, did i
miss something here?
You said DatePart uses a different format, which is?? and what is BOL?

sorry if the answer is there, i maybe just don't understand your answer.

thanks
David

I wasn't very clear...sorry.
My suggestion
would produce the following sql statement being sent to the server

SELECT [columnX], [columnY] FROM tblVisitors WHERE
DATEPART(yyyy,[datetimeentranc e])=DATEPART(yyyy ,GETDATE())

1)I just mentioned the double quote thing to clear up what your errors would
be. If you want to include a quote in a string you have to escape it. For
example:

Dim aString
aString="Then he said ""hello there"""

would store

The he said "hello there"
in the aString variable.
2) The DatePart format that you used is for vb/vbscript
DatePart("yyyy" , date())
but you wanted to use the T-SQL version which is
DatePart(yyyy, GetDate())

3) Books OnLine (BOL) should be installed on your SQL Server. It's also
available for download separately at www.microsoft.com/sql

I am creating a booking system in ASP.Net with VB and a MSSQL backend. I am having problems knowing where to begin with a particular part of the system. Bookings can only be made in weekly multiples from Saturday to Saturday. The only way I can think of to do it is by manually adding the weeks into a table in the DB, but this will obviously mean that I will have to routinely update this table.

I am using the DatePart funtion in a query to extract the day, month and year in separate fields in a query. The function works fine but I am only getting a number for the month even if the field type is a long date and the month is stored in the table. I tried the following to try and get the name of the month to work. DateTest: Format(DatePart("m",),"mmmm") The DateAffirmed field had a date stored of 16/03/2006.
