I am not familiar with Coldfusion, so this may or may not be applicable. In SQL server, the recommended way would be to query the table (or create a view and query it) that has two additional columns - 1. Date, 2. Vendor ID. Once you have that, you would query against that view/table using a where clause such as this:

.....
WHERE
   DateColumn = '20130225'
   AND VendorIDColumn = 245

Creating a view for each vendor and each date is not scalable and not a recommended practice, especially so for the dates.

DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(4000);
SET @sql = 'create view ' + QUOTENAME(CONVERT(CHAR(8),GETDATE(),112)) + '
as SELECT col1, col2 FROM YourTable';
EXEC (@sql);

Well I was trying to do a sale report for the buyer that would list it's by time between date received and last sold date. The issue was in Coldfusion it has issues with the coding that I was using (in sql it would add fine in cf it would be off). So I thought to do a create list view in Coldfusion, but I need it to create a view named with the vender number and date made. Then it wouldn't have an issue if multiple ones were made in a day. For instance it would make it to look like view would be titled 092252013 for one vendor and another one would be 2452252013.

You can do that, like this:

DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(4000);
SET @sql = 'create view ' + QUOTENAME(CONVERT(CHAR(8),GETDATE(),112)) + '
as SELECT col1, col2 FROM YourTable';
EXEC (@sql);
