SQL Query Compare 2 Dates Equal , greater or smaller

In SQL Server, you can compare two dates using conditional statements like "IF" to determine if one date is equal to, greater than, or smaller than another date.

An SQL query can compare two dates in several ways:

1. Equality: It can check if two dates are equal, meaning they represent the same point in time.
2. Greater Than: The query can determine if one date is chronologically later or greater than the other.
3. Smaller Than: It can establish if one date is earlier or smaller than the other in chronological order.

These comparisons are essential for various tasks, such as filtering records, calculating date differences, or organizing data based on date-related criteria. SQL provides operators and functions to perform these date comparisons effectively within your database queries.
