Re: Help needed in SQL Query

I think I have not been clear in my requirements

If there are 3 dates in a month, the indexes returned should be 1, 2, 3 based on what date is passed in. So if the input date is 07/14/2003, since it is the first date in the month of July 2003, I should get the index value of 1. If I input the date as 08/01/2003, since it is the 1st of the 3 date entries for August 2003, the query should return a value of 1. If I use 08/29/2003 as the input, the query should return an index of 3 as it is the third date in the month of August.
