.....but keeping two?

Is it possible?

In English, my request would be

Select all records where created_date > 01/01/2012 but I also want to include ids 2440 and 2667 which were created in 2011.

TIA.

simplest would be to use a union - one query for current year and the other with a top 2 from previous data.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

This should work.

Select *
from yourfile
where created_date > 01/01/2012
or (id=2440 and year(created_date) = 2011)
or (id=2667 and year(created_date) = 2011)

Select all records
where created_date > 01/01/2012
or ( id in (2440,2667) and created_date >= '20110101' and created_date < '20120101'
)
