Problem Using Date Paramenter in SQL Clause [message #626473] Wed, 22 September 2010 15:09 Go to next message

Hi friends, I'm new here.

I'm having a problem using a SQL statement that contains a date paramenter using the Where clause.

Take a look:
SELECT DATE_CREATED, ORDERNUMBER, CUSTOMER_NBR, CUSTOMER_NAME,
  FROM ORDEREDITEMS
  WHERE DATE(DATE_CREATED) = ?


Trying to run this statement on BIRT SQL Builder, it doesn't bring me back the result that I want.

This example starts a problem that I'll have using the Between clause using the date parameter like I wrote in the sample code.

How could I do a SQL statement on BIRT using this example?

Thanks in advance!

Is DATE_CREATED a date? what did you define the ? as?
You can link the dataset parameter to a report parameter or you can
modify the query using script. Take a look at this example that
effectively does a between using a beforeOpen script on the dataset.

Hi Jason, tnks for reply me!

The DATE_CREATED column is Timestamp type. But I wanna run my query using Date type as I wrote before:
WHERE DATE(DATE_CREATED) = ?


So the marker ? is the parameter I have to pass to the query and then run it.

Looking at you example at this point:
this.queryText += "where orderdate >= '" + params["StartDate"].value + 
"'and orderdate <= '" + params["EndDate"].value +"'";


I understand you're telling me that this is the way to run a query using an AND clause with >= and <=, like a between...Humm, It sounds like a good idea.

I'll try it on and see if it's what I'm looking for.

Tnks for awhile.

BTW when you use a ? in the dataset this creates a dataset parameter not
a report parameter. You can tie a dataset parameter to a report
parameter in the dataset editor (parameters tab). The script example I
showed does not use dataset parameters but just report parameters.

Jason,
I also had this problem but solved it in the following way.
1. set the parameter as a string and cast it in the query. the query became:
select public.transactions.transdate, public.transactions.originalgrossamt
from public.transactions
Where public.transactions.transdate>=cast(? as date).
2..Data set parameter data type was string.
3.public.transactions.transdate was type date
3.report parameter was set to string.
4. entered date as dd/mm/yyyy
It worked.

By the way I can copy and paste the XML code from BIRT into a file, but how do you load an XML file into BIRT?
