Actually, I think it was me that proposed using a calendar table, as a 
general solution for using SQL against dissimilar representations of a 
date. I also mentioned that a UDF or a host variable would work just as 
well in the given situation. A UDF was appropriate because the date 
transform needed to happen in the WHERE clause of the SELECT, as opposed 
to the result set.
