Comparing multiple fields in a table

I have a table with 3 date fields that for any given record should all be populated with the same date (the fields mean 3 different things, just have the same date)

Is there a function that allows me to determine if all the fields are equal and if not return those records?

Thanks for any help.

try this:


Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. select * from yourtable
  3. where datediff(dd,firstdatecolumn,seconddatecolumn) + datediff(dd,seconddatecolumn,thirddatecolumn)  <> 0
  4.  
  5.  
records will return if one of them have different day part. if your dates have different time part but has the same date part, the above query will treat them equal.
