I want to compare two dates from separate tables. Currently I user the query below;

select dbo.Trans.AccountID,
(SELECT dbo.Property.[Value] FROM dbo.Property WHERE dbo.Property.AccountID = dbo.Trans.AccountID
and dbo.Property.Property = 'Creation') AS Registration,
max(CASE WHEN dbo.Trans.TransType = 'Deposit' AND DeltaCash < 0 THEN left(Transid,8) ELSE NULL END) AS LastDepDay

from dbo.Trans
group by dbo.Trans.AccountID

Which gives the following results;

AccountID-------Registration-------------------------LastDepDay
123-------------2011-07-16 01:00:00;10.159.11.2------20110801

How do I convert the dates into a format that I can compare? I hope this makes sense. Many thanks.

TransID is a bigint, property value is in this format 2011-07-16 01:00:00;10.159.11.2 - not sure what is is called.

How would I find that out?

Thank you.
