Simple DateTime sql query

How do I query DateTime database field within a certain range?

I am using SQL SERVER 2005

Error code below

SELECT * 
  FROM TABLENAME 
 WHERE DateTime >= 12/04/2011 12:00:00 AM 
   AND DateTime <= 25/05/2011 3:53:04 AM

Note that I need to get rows within a certain time range. Example, 10 mins time range.

Currently SQL return with Incorrect syntax near '12'."

You missed single quote sign:

SELECT * 
FROM TABLENAME 
WHERE DateTime >= '12/04/2011 12:00:00 AM' AND DateTime <= '25/05/2011 3:53:04 AM'

Also, it is recommended to use ISO8601 format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.nnn[ Z ], as this one will not depend on your server's local culture.

SELECT *
FROM TABLENAME 
WHERE 
    DateTime >= '2011-04-12T00:00:00.000' AND 
    DateTime <= '2011-05-25T03:53:04.000'

You need quotes around the string you're trying to pass off as a date, and you can also use BETWEEN here:

 SELECT *
   FROM TABLENAME
  WHERE DateTime BETWEEN '04/12/2011 12:00:00 AM' AND '05/25/2011 3:53:04 AM'

See answer to the following question for examples on how to explicitly convert strings to dates while specifying the format:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/207190/sql-server-string-to-date-conversion

This has worked for me in both SQL Server 2005 and 2008:

SELECT * from TABLE
WHERE FIELDNAME > {ts '2013-02-01 15:00:00.001'}
  AND FIELDNAME < {ts '2013-08-05 00:00:00.000'}

You can execute below code

SELECT Time FROM [TableName] where DATEPART(YYYY,[Time])='2018' and DATEPART(MM,[Time])='06' and DATEPART(DD,[Time])='14

SELECT * 
  FROM TABLENAME 
 WHERE [DateTime] >= '2011-04-12 12:00:00 AM'
   AND [DateTime] <= '2011-05-25 3:35:04 AM'

If this doesn't work, please script out your table and post it here. this will help us get you the correct answer quickly.

Others have already said that date literals in SQL Server require being surrounded with single quotes, but I wanted to add that you can solve your month/day mixup problem two ways (that is, the problem where 25 is seen as the month and 5 the day) :

1. Use an explicit Convert(datetime, 'datevalue', style) where style is one of the numeric style codes, see Cast and Convert. The style parameter isn't just for converting dates to strings but also for determining how strings are parsed to dates.

2. Use a region-independent format for dates stored as strings. The one I use is 'yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss', or consider ISO format, yyyy-mm-ddThh:mi:ss.mmm. Based on experimentation, there are NO other language-invariant format string. (Though I think you can include time zone at the end, see the above link).

select getdate()

Open up the Access File you are trying to export SQL data to. Delete any Queries that are there. Everytime you run SQL Server Import wizard, even if it fails, it creates a Query in the Access DB that has to be deleted before you can run the SQL export Wizard again.
