Re: Update Status Field after Expiry Date

Consider the following table

Customer
custId char(10)
accountExpiryDate datetime
accountStatus bit

Now, I want to update the accountStatus to False as soon as the
current date becomes accountExpiryDate.

I think it can be done using "SQL Agent" but my webhost doesnt provide
me access to that. I have access only to the Query Analyzer.

Change accountStatus to

accountStatus AS (CASE WHEN accountExpirydate < getdate()
THEN convert(bit, 1)
ELSE convert(bit, 0)
END)
