Solution 1

Swap the date around: BETWEEN expects the first one to be the start date, and the second to be the end date.
Since your end is before your start, no records are returned.

i have swaped them , but not working ---

select JobTitle, CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),CreatedDate,103) from JobForm
where CreatedDate between CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),'09/02/2013',103) and CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),'06/03/2013',103)

Solution 2

Hello,

For date comparison all values must be of date type. Your query will return no records as you are trying string comparison, BETWEEN will not work as expected.

SQL

CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), CreateDate, 103)

I suggest you change your SQL to

SQL

SELECT JobTitle, CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),CreatedDate,103)  FROM JobForm
    WHERE CreatedDate BETWEEN  CONVERT(DATE,'09/02/2013',103) AND  CONVERT(DATE,'06/03/2013',103)

Regards,

not working sir !
i tried this as well --

SELECT JobTitle, CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),CreatedDate,103) FROM JobForm
WHERE CONVERT(DATE,CreatedDate,103) BETWEEN CONVERT(DATE,'06/03/2013',103) AND CONVERT(DATE,'09/02/2013',103)

Try swapping dates as suggested by OriginalGriff.

tried it but not worked

Solution 3 will work definitely. The earlier solution 2 will work only if the time component of the CreatedDate is 0.

Solution 3

I suggest to also add the same date conversion on the CreateDate column as well before comparing:

SELECT JobTitle, CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),CreatedDate,103) FROM JobForm
WHERE CONVERT(DATE,CreatedDate,103) BETWEEN CONVERT(DATE,'09/02/2013',103) AND CONVERT(DATE,'06/03/2013',103)
