How to loop when querying date?

UserID16644

Hi all

I am trying to query the database using JMP. In my query, I manually change the dateNow value from day 1 to 30 then run the script. But I needed to create another one that would loop all through the days.

 

How can I create a loop that queries every date starting from July 2023 to January 2024?

 

dateNow = "01/11/2024";

dt = Open Database( "DSN=databasename;UID=root;PWD=admin;APP=JMP;DATABASE=dbSample").
"select distinct name, age, sex, address
from db1
where date between '" || dateNow || " 00:00:00 AM' and '" || dateNow || " 11:59:59 PM'",  
"raw" );

Here is my solution.  

Names Default To Here( 1 );


For( theDate = Informat( "01/07/2023", "d/m/y" ), theDate <= Informat( "31/1/2024", "d/m/y" ),
	theDate = theDate + In Days( 1 ),
	
	// Create the dateNow variable from the index variable "theDate"
	dateNow = Format( theDate, "d/m/y" );

dt = Open Database( "DSN=databasename;UID=root;PWD=admin;APP=JMP;DATABASE=dbSample").
"select distinct name, age, sex, address
from db1
where date between '" || dateNow || " 00:00:00 AM' and '" || dateNow || " 11:59:59 PM'",  
"raw" );
