Hello,
Is there a more general way to compare DATE values than the following.
...WHERE TO_DAYS(myDateField) > TO_DAYS('2001-02-14');
I really have to objection to converting to a common unit of days in
order to compare (as long as I don't care about comparing times within
the same day), but I imagined there would be a more general DATE type
that could be compared uniformly, and a hypothetical TO_DATE() function
that would cast appropriately.
Something that would accomodate the following:
...WHERE TO_DATE(myDateField) > TO_DATE('1997-10-04 22:23:00')
as well as:
...WHERE TO_DATE(myDateField) > TO_DATE('1997-10-04')
You get the idea... thoughts?
Best,
Nick
