Default Relative time in SQL

It was tongue in Cheek Jamie.
the user wanted to query a 24 hour time period starting at 7AM (or a
specific time - not NOW). So your answer didn't appear to be appropriate
since Now would make the query specific to the current time.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that the Now function on a database server always
resolved to 7 AM. Thanks for the heads up although that seems kind of
buggy.


I don't think it does. Did you test this at 7am, perchance? <g

On my Jet database, I just executed

SELECT Now();

and I got the expected result of

24/08/2004 09:25:35

being the date/time from the server machine.
