Hi DG,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I am currently using the date criteria as yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mmm in the between condition for the current date and add_date(mm,-3) 3 months before date. Can you please suggest if with this condition also the records will be missed between the 2 dates.

What's the data type of the column that you use for comparison?

Hi Durden,

The data type is datetime.

Even if you know the granularity of the local datetime, in an optimistic world you would love it to be portable. In place of worrying about the precision, which might be a very odd fraction not easily accessible by string number conversions, kiss "BETWEEN" goodbye and use "ColDate >= Date and ColDate < (Date+1day)". It has no hole. The SQL compile will just take your BETWEEN and turn it into a similar pair of predicates. There is no run time advantage. If indexed, it will search for the low value and read to the high value in the index, a range scan.

The SQL gods should have made a way to say if BETWEEN end points were included or not, like those open/dark end line point dots in math class. Many languages have these misconceived pitfalls to avoid, except when taking mindless proficiency tests to get hired.
