date(CMTIMESTMP) >= (current_date - 1 day) ORDER BY CMTIMESTMP

returns the expected result!
... but the Query Optimizer cannot use an index built over the CMTIMESTMP
column.
If possible the "original" column should not be converted on the left side
of the comparison operator.

Also for performance issues calculating the Beginning of yesterday in the
WHERE condition might be not a good idea, calculating the date before and
using a host variable is much better.

Oh man
I believe I have it


This seems to work

SELECT CMOLDCST#, CMNEWCST#, CMTIMESTMP FROM cstmerge WHERE
date(CMTIMESTMP) >= (current_date - 1 day) ORDER BY CMTIMESTMP

Subject: How to obtain the beginning of yesterday as a time stamp

Hi everyone
I am going to play the sympathy card - so please forgive me Today, I have
just been blasted and nuked from ALL sides and my brain is just mush Before
I forget - we are on V7r1

I have a file with 3 fields of which one is a timestamp Using SQL, how do I
extract ALL the records that have a timestamp equal to or greater than the
beginning of yesterday

For example - today is April 25, 2017
I am looking to extract ALL records with a timestamp of
2017-04-24-00.00.00.000000 and greater, but I do NOT want to hardcode that
value as tomorrow, I want to extract all records with a timestamp of
2017-04-25-00.00.00.000000 or greater and so on Hope that makes sense

As always - all responses are always welcome
