Depends on how precise the date columns are... Are you going down to the
milliseconds? Your output only goes to the second...

Subject: Wrong results from date comaprisons
Has anyone experienced this with 10g (10.1.0.4.0)? I am getting wrong
results from the following query. The start and end dates are equal yet,
they are returned by the query and the difference column shows again that
they should be equal although there are many rows that are filtered
correctly. There aren't any indexes on the fields in questions and there is
a constraint on the start date field
select to_char(agy_hist_eff_dt,'DD-Mon-YY HH24:mi:ss')
s,to_char(agy_hist_end_dt,'DD-Mon-YY HH24:mi:ss') e,
agy_hist_end_dt-agy_hist_eff_dt d
from agency_history a
where agy_hist_void_ind='y'
and agy_hist_eff_dt!=agy_hist_end_dt
