Actually i need to get the present system date only without time,then compare that date with the dates stored in the table?
example:
system date is 22/02/08[dd-mm-yy]
and the date in the table is: 22-feb-08 or 22/02/2008.So how to compare this two dates.Because my frontend is java and backend is Ms-Access. |

since you have to compare dates which have different formats the comparison can be done as below
step 1: first convert the sysdate to show only date,
the command to do that is to_date(sysdate) which will return date
step 2: now, convert the sysdate to the format the table has,
the command is to_char(to_date(sysdate),'MM-DD-YYYY')
MM-DD-YYYY is the format of the date stored within the table
Thanks,

I assumed the format mask to be 'MM-DD-YYYY' in my earlier post. The format mask should have the same format as the date within the table
Thanks,
