create view

CREATE VIEW dbo.viewNeedPrices
AS
SELECT equityID, tickerRealTick
FROM dbo.equities
WHERE (equityID NOT IN
(SELECT equityID
FROM prices
WHERE priceDate = '1/1/2004'))
This view works.
I want to be able to do this without hardcoding the date.
I tried using '?'. DIdn't work.
Any way to do this?Hi Won,
On SQL Server 2000 you can use a table valued user defined function:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udfNeedPrices(@.priceDate DATETIME)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
SELECT equityID, tickerRealTick
FROM dbo.equities
WHERE (equityID NOT IN
(SELECT equityID
FROM prices
WHERE priceDate = @.priceDate))
