One of my WHERE clauses is the following:
AND (DateCreated BETWEEN @DateFrom and @DateTo OR (@DateFrom IS NULL OR @DateTo IS NULL))
Just need some extra criteria to handle when one or the other is NULL:
AND (
(DateCreated >= @DateFrom and DateCreated < DATEADD(day,1,@DateTo))
OR (@DateFrom IS NULL AND @DateTo IS NULL)
OR (@DateFrom IS NULL AND DateCreated < DATEADD(day,1,@DateTo))
OR (@DateTo IS NULL AND DateCreated >= @DateFrom)
)
Edit: Giorgi's approach was simpler, here it is adapted for use with DATETIME:
AND ( (DateCreated >= @DateFrom OR @DateFrom IS NULL)
AND (DateCreated < DATEADD(day,1,@DateTo) OR @DateTo IS NULL)
)
The issue with BETWEEN or <= when using a DATE variable against a DATETIME field, is that any time after midnight on the last day will be excluded.
'2015-02-11 13:07:56.017' is greater than '2015-02-11' Rather than casting your field as DATE for comparison, it's better for performance to add a day to your variable and change from <= to <.
