Re: SQL to sellect a date

One of the reasons might be that your opendate field is filled by for example SYSDATE which also contains the time. The solution is then to truncate your opendate field which only returns the date part.

Try this:
SELECT * FROM tktmaster WHERE trunc(opendate)=TO_DATE('01/26/99', 'MM/DD/YY');

See if it helps.
