Re: testing date

Sounds like a trunc() will help. For example

select * from table_a where trunc(col1, 'd') = trunc(sysdate, 'd');

Alternatively, a slightly better query is

select * from table_a where col1 >= tunc(sysdate, 'd') and col < trunc(sysdate, 'd') + 1;

The first one cannot make use of index on col1, so it is very inefficient for large table. The second query can make use of index on col1 (if the index exists).
