Date data type

Hi Listers,

    Does the date data type is not consistence on oracleDB ? I have the query below :

Create table test (dt date,

                            name varchar230));

SQL > Select * from test where dt between '01-DEC-02' and '31-DEC-02'
- it returns 22 rows selected

SQL > Select * from test where to_char(dt,'mmrr')='1202'
- it returns 26 rows selected

Why the last query return more rows selected than first query ? All comment would be appreciated.

TIA, Sony
