Trying to run SQL Date query

6
Hi There,

I am a newby with SQL and I am trying to run a query on a date/time field. The query is for the previous date. I would like to create this as a criteria in a view, but not sure what the criteria should look like doing a previous day query.

The test query I have done using SQL analyzer is (select * from mvs_store_all_data_time_change where mvs_creation_date like '060801%').

This returns the previous days data, but is hard coded and need the query to be used daily, for the previous date.

Any can help? :).

Not sure about which database you are using, but in DB2 I would execute something like:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE creation_date = (CURRENT DATE - 1 DAY);
