Also your query is doing:
> to_date('20071125 1500', 'yyyymmdd hh24mi')
AND
< to_date('20071125 1600', 'yyyymmdd hh24mi')
If your intervals in your table are 1 hour intervals, this will never
return any data (assuming your 1 hour intervals occur on the hour).
Now if you were using a 'BETWEEN to_date(xx) and to_date(yy)' then it
would include both 1500 and 1600. But your excluding them with a '>'.
You could of course do a '>=' and a '<=' to include the 1500 and 1600.

Unless I'm mistaken, a group by will not ignore those rows especially
when using a count(*).
Either something else is disqualifying those rows from returning, or you
might have a corrupt index if it is doing an index scan.
Also, your results don't match your query. Looks like you're looking
for 11/11/2007 dates but you're limiting it to dates > 11/25/2007. I
assume this was just an oversight.

Subject: tricky group by questions
I am writing a query that is grouping by 1 hour blocks over a period of
time as follows
I am pretty sure the answer involves using "where not exists", but I
can't get the dates I want to return.
select to_char(mydate, 'yyyymmdd hh24') , count(*)
from mytab
where mydate < sysdate
and mydate > to_date('20071125 1500', 'yyyymmdd hh24mi')
and mydatedate < to_date('20071125 1600', 'yyyymmdd hh24mi')
group by to_char(mydate, 'yyyymmdd hh24')
order by to_char(mydate, 'yyyymmdd hh24') desc
Now I have one hour periods that do not have any rows. A standard group
by just ignores those periods. I want periods with no data to return and
have a count(*) = 0
so I would have
2007111101 20
2007111102 0
2007111103 10
now it returns as
2007111101 20
2007111103 10
