Hi Karthik,
Thanks,but here is another catch:
In my tblactivity the checkintime colm values are stored as '01:55 PM', '02:20 AM'etc. so it's not giving the correct data.

Solution 2

check following Query

SQL

SELECT * FROM tblactivity WHERE checkintime BETWEEN DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 2 HOUR)

'Now' is not a recognized function name.I am using sqlserver 2005.May be its avaliable in 2008.
