Selecting records by date - need a little help

CK
Good Morning,
I have a view that contains rate information, contractIDs, and effective
dates.
I need to select the rate info based on contractID and date.
I can provide a date and contractID, and I need to select the rate info for
that contract where the effective date is <= dateprovided.

I need the 1 record that is closest to that date.

I am thinking something with max() perhaps. Any ideas? The <= effective
date will return several rows, I just need the one closest to the date I
provide.

Thanks for any advice,
CK

HI--I have 2 tables Cut: cut ID, HistNumb, Block, date: Cut Id is the primary key, the other 3 fileds are indexed to be unique Slides: Cutid SlideID, and various other fields: there can be multiple slide records per CutID. This table is a subdatashet of the Cut table--so the CutId is stored in it I have a form based on a query between the 2 tables for adding slide records

I am editing a pre-existing view. This view is already bringing data from 40+ tables so I am to modify it without screwing with anything else that is already in there. I need to (left) join it with a new table that lists deposits and the dates they are due. What I need is to print, for each record in the view, the due date for the next deposit due and the total of all payments that they will have made by the next due date.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
