Re: to_date function

There is a time component. try:
select * from tablea where created_date>=to_date('15/12/01', 'dd/mm/yy') and created_date<(to_date('15/12/01', 'dd/mm/yy')+1) Yes, you can truncate the created_date, but that will force a full table scan just to get the date component as of midnight. Jim
