What's the to_char for?

try

select * from cust where
DATECREATED = to_date('01-FEB-03 07:53:28','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS')

Hi...

I am getting the following error with a query like this

select * from cust where
to_char(DATECREATED,'DD-MON-YYY HH24:MI:SS') = to_date('01-FEB-03 07:53:28','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS')

ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string

What is the problem?

Thanks
