[Q] Frusturating SQL question
Posted in 1996
I hope someone can help me out of this frustaration. I have a
tbale in Informix 5.01 that hold information for visitors to our
site. I need to print out a simple report which shows the number
of visitors and their time of arrival at midnight everday. A
simple cron job unloads my query into an ascii file and with a
little awk manipulation I print the file to the remote site.
Unfortunately, I can't get my SIMPLE query to work. My date
column is LASTMOD (DATETIME YEAR TO MINUTE) and I need to get
data for just one day. My query is
Select lname, fname, vendor, status, lastmod
from visitors
where lastmod = TODAY (YEAR TO MINUTE)
order by 3,2,1
This does not work, obviously. But what does work? Any ideas?
I would be gald of any help.
