MULTIPLE Cases in Select Query in SQL Server

Question

I have a Scenario in my SQL query is that I have to find out babies records with given dates but from multiple years Suppose My Selection Date is = 01/Jan/2014 to 31/Jan/2014

I have another parameter that is year, that it asks me randomly to select data of babies born of previous (1~3 Years) Suppose If my current Selected dates are of Years 2014 and my year variable has value 2 then

I must bring data of babies respectively to the current year and also a year less then of current date and so on Below is my Given Scenario

--------------------------------------------
--  BABIES_TABLE
ID |    Name         |  Age |   DOB         |
--------------------------------------------
1           JKL         3       21/Jan/2012
2           DEF         2       09/Jan/2013
3           ABC         1       04/Jan/2014
4           XYZ         1       02/Feb/2014

-- Date Range [01/Jan/2014 - 31/Jan/2014]
-- Year = 2
---------------------------------------------
ID     |    Name    |   Age |   DOB         |
---------------------------------------------
3           ABC         1       04/Jan/2014
2           DEF         2       09/Jan/2013



-- Date Range [01/Jan/2014 - 31/Jan/2014]
-- Year = 3
---------------------------------------------
ID     |    Name    |   Age |   DOB         |
---------------------------------------------
3           ABC         1       04/Jan/2014
2           DEF         2       09/Jan/2013
1           JKL         3       21/Jan/2012

below is my SQl Query which is ambiguous and having error.I have try with single date comparison , Its fine But when i add OR condition, it gives me error

Answer 1

Here is what I have achieved my desired result, but I guess it could be possible using Case in Where.

---------------------------------------------

Answer 2

I had the same solution as Vittore and then thinking, the problem is i'm not following your requirement from what i understood. When it's 1 taking between today startdate enddate and same for previous year

Here is an uneleguant solution i have

create table #y (y tinyint)
insert into #y values (1)
insert into #y values (2)
insert into #y values (3)


DECLARE @startDate AS DATETIME
DECLARE @enddate AS DATETIME
DECLARE @y AS INT
SET @startDate='2012-10-12'
SET @enddate='2012-10-20'
SET @y=2

SELECT * 
FROM BABIES_TABLE
cross join #y 
WHERE CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR, BABIES_TABLE.DOB, 111) AS DATETIME) >= datediff(year, y - 1, @startdate )
AND CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR, BABIES_TABLE.DOB, 111) AS DATETIME) <= DATEDIFF(year, y - 1, @enddate )
and y <= @y

It's perhaps possible with cte

UPDATE

I had this idea in case you need specific date test not a long between. For example you want dob = 19/02/13 or 19/02/12 or 19/02/11 in case of y=2 but not dob between 19/02/11 and 19/02/13.

Answer 3

Normalize your start and end dates, as well as DOB to current year

 SET @startDate=DATEADD(yy, YEAR(@startDate)-YEAR(getdate()), @startDate)
 SET @enddate=DATEADD(yy, YEAR(@enddate)-YEAR(getdate()), @enddate)

 select * from babies where 
     Age >= @y  -- check that baby is old enough 
     and DATEADD(yy, YEAR(dob)-YEAR(getdate()), dob) between @startDate and @enddate - and the DOB is within a range in a year.
