Re: how to properly filter a dataset by dates ?

2022-06-17 Thread marc nicole
 I finally settled for:

dataset= dataset.where(to_date( dataset.col("Date"),"MM-dd-").geq(new
java.sql.Date(new
SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-").parse("02-03-2012").getTime(;
which seems overly complicated, I was hoping for a simpler Spark solution.
Anyways thanks guys!

 as a string is before 02-03-2012.
 You apply date function to dates, not strings.
 You have to parse the dates properly, which was the problem in your
 last email.

 result):

 I tried to apply *date_trunc()* with the first parameter "day" but
 nothing.

 I have also compared a converted column (using *to_date()*) with a
 *literal *of the target date but always returning an empty dataset.

 How to do that in Java ?

Same answer as last time - those are strings, not dates. 02-02-2015 as a
string is before 02-03-2012.
You apply date function to dates, not strings.
You have to parse the dates properly, which was the problem in your last
email.
