Yes, you are correct.it is on the wrong side of the where.

SQL> select to_char(mydate,'dd-mon-yy hh24:mi:ss') from t;

TO_CHAR(MYDATE,'DD

---

10-jun-99 10:52:48
10-jun-99 00:00:00
11-jun-99 00:00:00
09-jun-99 00:00:00

SQL> select * from t
  2 where trunc(to_date(mydate,'dd-mon-yy'))= '10-jun-99';

MYDATE

---

10-JUN-99
10-JUN-99 SQL> select to_char(mydate,'dd-mon-yy hh24:mi:ss') from t   2 where trunc(to_date(mydate,'dd-mon-yy'))= '10-jun-99';

TO_CHAR(MYDATE,'DD

---

10-jun-99 10:52:48
10-jun-99 00:00:00
