Question

Im trying to query a sort of from – to date.
e.g. 20-01-2010 to 20-02-2010. this should include the mentioned dates.

i’ve tried the following queries but none works.

select * 
  from [tableName] 
 where date >= '20-01-2010' 
   AND date <= '20-02-2010'

but the date where date is equal to 20-02-2010 does not show. i don’t know why.

---

select * 
  from [tableName] 
 where date between '20-01-2010' 
            AND '20-02-2010' 

the mentioned dates is not included in the results. i want it to be included in the results.

please help.

thanks in advance! 🙂

Thanks for all the replies.
I figured out the problem.

The reason why the query below doesn’t work is because the value of the date field has hh:mm:ss since it’s datetime. If you compare to ordinary date, the time part will be 0. That’s why data w/ date ’20-02-2010′ doesn’t show up in my result set since the data has hh:mm:ss not equal to ’00:00:00.000′.

SELECT * FROM[tableName] WHERE date >= '20-01-2010' AND date <= '20-02-2010' 

The query below works now. Just added a time parameter

SELECT* FROM [tableName] WHERE date >= '20-01-2010' AND date <= '20-02-2010 23:59:59.000'
