You have a database that contains the tables as shown below:
You have a stored procedure named Procedure1. Procedure1 retrieves all order ids after a
specific date. The rows for Procedure1 are not sorted. Procedure1 has a single parameter
named Parameter1. Parameter1 uses the varchar type and is configured to pass the specific
date to Procedure1. A database administrator discovers that OrderDate is not being
compared correctly to Parameter1 after the data type of the column is changed to datetime.
You need to update the SELECT statement to meet the following requirements:
• The code must NOT use aliases.
• The code must NOT use object delimiters.
• The objects called in Procedure1 must be able to be resolved by all users.
• OrderDate must be compared to Parameter1 after the data type of Parameter1 is
changed to datetime.
Which SELECT statement should you use?
To answer, type the correct code in the answer area.
Answer: See the explanation.
Explanation:
SELECT Orders.OrderID
FROM Orders
WHERE Orders.OrderDate>CONVERT(datetime,@Parameter1)
SELECT Orders.OrderID
FROM Orders
WHERE Orders.OrderDate > CAST(@Parameter1 AS datetime)
I think that both answers would work here. I would mention though, that CONVERT is the preferred method when dealing with datetime formats.
