Hi!

[Quoted] [Quoted] I have a problem with to_char function in sql*plus (oracle 7.3.4).

I don't understand why my query selects all the rows...

select maakdi, chngdate
from maat
where to_char(chngdate, 'DD.MM.YYYY') >= '15.10.1998'

MA CHNGDATE
-- ----------

SK 16.02.1996     (why this row?)
SK 15.10.1998     (this is OK)
CZ 19.08.1997     (why this row?)
CZ 19.08.1997     (why this row?)
