(SQL Server) Unzip Files in a Date Range

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to use the Zip.MinDate and Zip.MaxDate properties to unzip only those files with a last-modified date within a date range.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.0.0 or greater.

    -- The MinDate and MaxDate properties use the timestamp date/time string format.
    -- Here are some examples:
    -- YYYY-MM-DD (e.g., 2024-07-31)
    -- YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS�HH:MM (e.g., 2024-07-31T12:34:56+02:00)
    -- 2024-07-31T12:34:56Z (the "Z" denotes Zulu time, or UTC)

    -- Only unzip files having a last-modified date greater than 1-Jan-2017
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @zip, 'MinDate', '2017-01-01T00:00:00Z'

    -- Also, only unzip files having a last-modified date less than the end of 2020
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @zip, 'MaxDate', '2020-12-31T23:59:59Z'

    -- You don't need to specify both MinDate and MaxDate.
    -- You can specify only one or the other if needed.

    -- The MinDate/MaxDate properties apply to all of the Chilkat methods for unzipping.
