The following query must work:
select * from schueler where trunc(s_gebdat) = '02-FEB-67'

s_gebdat may have time value also (HH:MI:SS) and that's why it is not a exact match. TRUNC(s_gebdat) will truncate the time and match with the date value alone.

If you want to see the time try the following. select to_char(s_gebdat,'DD-MON-YY HH:MI:SS') from schueler where trunc(s_gebdat) = '02-FEB-67'

I have to work with an Oracle Database (Version 7.5). If I type:
select * from schueler where s_gebdat='02-FEB-67'; I get no result. But if I query with the command: select * from schueler;
There is an entry with '02-FEB-67'.
So why does Oracle does not give me the row with this specific date if
I
seek for it in this first way?
