Show empty string when date field is 1/1/1900

Question

I\'m querying a database like so:

SELECT DISTINCT 
CASE WHEN CreatedDate = \'1900-01-01 00:00:00.000\' THEN \'\' ELSE CreatedDate END AS CreatedDate
FROM Lit         


        

Answer 1

Two nitpicks. (1) Best not to use string literals for column alias - that is deprecated. (2) Just use style 120 to get the same value.

    CASE 
      WHEN CreatedDate = '19000101' THEN '' 
      WHEN CreatedDate = '18000101' THEN '' 
      ELSE Convert(varchar(19), CreatedDate, 120)
    END AS [Created Date]
