Thank you for sharing this info, never heard of it, very useful!

While googling for details I found this article:

http://oraclesponge.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/the-overlaps-predicate/

The author uses this construct everywhere:

date '2007-01-01'

I never saw this syntax and I'm not able to found documentation about it (perhaps I'm using the wrong keywords...). Can you point me to a link?

Thank you.
