Question

I want to select records between two dates – a startDate and endDate (they are date/time format in sql). I have the following sql query but it does not work, could someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

SELECT * 
FROM house 
WHERE startDate >= '2012/02/22 00:00:00' AND endDate <= '2012-02-25 00:00:00'

Answer 1

I would suggest converting the dates to a datetime and comparing them as well as keeping the date standard and consistent. Something like:

"SELECT * 
FROM house 
WHERE DATE(startDate) >= DATE('2012-02-22 00:00:00') 
  AND DATE(endDate) <= DATE('2012-02-25 00:00:00')"

NOTE: I assumed your startDate and endDate were of the same format as the strings your provided.
