Question

I have a quick question. I’m have a db an audit Table with a datetime column in it. (i.e 2012-03-27 00:00:00) and I’m building a mySQL query to return a set of rows if the date is in between the two dates I’m giving it.

so far my query looks like this:

SELECT * FROM util_audit WHERE DATED >= DATE(03/15/2012) AND DATED <= DATE(03/31/2012);

if I just use

SELECT * FROM util_audit WHERE DATED >= DATE(03/15/2012); 

It’ll return all my record because they were dated this week.

I also tried this:

SELECT * FROM util_audit WHERE DATED >= '02/15/2012 00:00:00' AND DATED <= '03/31/2012 00:00:00';

and nothing! It’ll return zero rows, when I know I have all of them dated from the 27 of this month to today. Am I missing something here? why does it work on its own, but not when I add the second date?I’m probably overlooking something.

Try:

SELECT * FROM util_audit WHERE `DATED` BETWEEN "2012-03-15" AND "2012-03-31";
