00494: SQL Date Syntax example for ODBC Driver and SQL Engine

Title:

SQL Date Syntax example for ODBC Driver and SQL Engine

Description:

When trying to write dates in SQL (usually via the ODBC driver or PRO/5 SQL engine), the data must be in Julian format unless a special date syntax is used. Here is an example for each method. 

update table set field_date = ‘2450688’ where … 

or 

update table set field_date = {d ‘yyyy-mm-dd’} where … 

Note that if the above syntax is used, dates will be converted from yyyy-mm-dd to the Julian format.
