... 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. kind regards, Lex. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steve Adams Seminar <http://www.naturaljoin.nl/events/seminars.html> http://www.naturaljoin.nl/events/seminars.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ _____ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hostetter, Jay M Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 21:09 To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: TIMESTAMP datatype. Anyone using them? Yes, we are using them on 9.2.0.5 on AIX. What is the exact problem that you are having? select * from mytable where delete_timestamp >= to_date('080120050800','mmddyyyyhh24mi') and delete_timestamp <= to_date('080120050801','mmddyyyyhh24mi'); Jay Hostetter Oracle DBA D&E Communications Ephrata, PA USA _____ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Arnold, Sandra Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 11:30 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Augustus, Christopher Subject: TIMESTAMP datatype. Anyone using them? Is anyone using the TIMESTAMP datatype? We are thinking about using them but are having a problem with queries using the BETWEEN clause. If you are using them, how are you querying them for date ranges?
