Hello,
I want to create an sql statement which will compare an external number if it is smaller to 1 than a field of an access database eg. select * where num (greater to 1) than a(integer), this was pseudo code, if there is such code please help.

Thank you

what do you expect by the compare ?

the list of items with a field grater than 1
or a list of items true or false depending on they are greater than 1 or not?

Solution 2

SQL

SELECT *
FROM mytable
WHERE @num<1 AND mytable.a>@num

@num is the parameter for your external number.
Since I failed to fully understand both conditions, you may need to adjust above statement, but the main point is to have an "AND" in the WHERE clause.

Solution 3

select
case when
num > external_num
then 'true'
else 'false'

Solution 4

Hello,
I have found the solution with a parameter, maybe my question wasn't so clear. Here is the solution.

SQL

SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE month1 - @monthpar = '1'

And through a textbox which holds date.now.month (parameter.value) I get the result.

Thank you
