ms sql syntax
hi all,
I need help translating some ms sql syntax can anyone tell me what the folloing line means? I've never worked with ms sql before, currently I have to translate a given ms sql db schema into mysql. Can anyone help? Thank ---------------------------- "SELECT DB,ACCNT_CODE, ACCNT_NAME, ANL_A1, ANL_A2, ANL_A7, DB_FLAG, CONVERT(VARCHAR,DATE_FOR_ACTION,103) AS DATE_FOR_ACTION FROM SSR WHERE ACCNT_CODE='" & strID & "'"

I expect you're trying to figure out what CONVERT(VARCHAR,DATE_FOR_ACTION,103) means. The CONVERT function is used to convert one data type to another. In this case, it is converting the DATE_FOR_ACTION column to a VARCHAR data type. When converting a date type to a char or varchar type, you can optionally specify a third parameter, which defines the format of the conversion. In this case 103 means, convert to UK date format of dd/mm/yyyy. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...lce_convert.asp for more info.
