Question : SQL datetime issue: The following 2 sections of code produce different results.

I'm trying to replace the existing query 1 because it is extremely slow, however both produce different results?

QUERY 1
Set @StartDate = '08/25/2006 12:45 PM'      --Start date time
Set @EndDate = '08/27/2006 11:17 PM'        --End date time
Where convert (char(11), DateOfBusiness, 101) +
      cast(cast([Hour] as char(2)) + ':' +
      cast([Minute] as char(2)) as datetime)
       between @StartDate and
      @EndDate
*********************************************
QUERY 2:
--Set @StartDate = '2006-08-25 12:45:00'      --Start date time
--Set @EndDate = '2006-08-27 23:17:00'      --End date time
Where DateOfBusiness between @StartDate and @EndDate

Answer : SQL datetime issue: The following 2 sections of code produce different results.

Oh, the update thing was just a one time operation to move so you stop using the hour and minutes column and put everything in the Dateofbusiness one. But since you mention that this database is from a vendor I guess you cannot modify it, so I would try this approach then (I've created an additional temp table with an extra column which will include date and time):

Use RUDY

select PLUNumber, IngredQty

Use ALOHA_POS

select 	*,

where DateofBusiness1 @StartDate and @EndDate 
Group by FKItemId

Select Sum(b.IngredQty * u.UnitsSold)/15 as PintsSold
From #temp_Beer b inner join #temp_UnitsSold u
      on b.PLUNumber = u.FKItemId

Drop Table #temp_Beer
