the delimiter character between hours/minutes/seconds in these datetime literals
should be a colon. so this is the right syntax:
 
select * 
from   mytable
where  delete_timestamp >= timestamp '2005-08-01 08:00:00.00'
and    delete_timestamp <= timestamp '2005-08-01 08:01:00.00';
even more readable :-)


kind regards,

Lex.

... or alternatively, use timestamp literals:
 
select * 
from   mytable
where  delete_timestamp >= timestamp '2005-08-01 08.00.00.00000'
and    delete_timestamp <= timestamp '2005-08-01 08.01.00.00000';
this is slightly more readable, independent of NLS settings,
and you don't rely on Oracle for implicit datatype conversion.
