Thread: create query with date values
Recipients, How to create a query such that when a date value is entered, the date may be associated with the result of another query. The scenario is that a date value is entered (the plan is these dates should be a separate table), then a query result isjoined with the date value. Please advise the correct terminology for appropriate review of the manual.

Maybe I misunderstand you, but it sounds like you are referring to an inner join (which is the standard way of joining):
SELECT .....
FROM SEPARATE_TABLE
, MAIN_TABLE
WHERE SEPARATE_TABLE.SOME_DATE = MAIN_TABLE.OTHER_DATE
;
If this isn't what you mean, please clarify.

You have normal queries, functions, and procedures. I suppose a “prepared query” might also fit the bill. Read up on those and, along with whatever application-level abstractions you choose to create, have tools for building queries.
