  SQL Date  catalyst at 11:42 on Wednesday, October 05, 2005
 

Hi there

I need to run an SQL 2000 query where the data it returns is for todays date - 2 days i.e 2 days ago

Can anyone help?

I think you can do something like the following:
convert(varchar,substring(convert(varchar, getdate(), 121),1,4) + substring(convert(varchar, getdate(), 121),6,2) +
cast(cast(substring(convert(varchar, getdate(), 121),9,2)) as Integer) - 2) as varchar(2).

It's going to be just a bit more complicated to make sure that you have the right month and year, in case today's date is something like January 1st.

If memory serves me correctly you can just do a normal addition/subtraction.

SELECT GETDATE ( ) - 2
GO

Alternatively you can use the DATEADD function.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_da-db_3vtw.asp

That would be invoked with something like:
DATEADD( day, -2, GETDATE() )

You can also use decimals instead of whole numbers.
