date(), date_format()

Hello list

I found a little problem with an application am developing, in particular creating reports by DATE ranges.

Examples:

select ... where date>"2007-01-01";
returns all records where date is greater (and equal inclusive) to 2007-01-01

select ... where date>="2007-01-01";
returns all records where date is greater/equal to 2007-01-01

the ">" and ">=" have the same effect

select ... where date>"2007-01-01" and date<"2007-01-20";
returns all records where date is greater/equal to 2007-01-01 and less than "2007-01-20"
*** DOES NOT RETURN RECORDS FROM DAY *20*

select ... where date>"2007-01-01" and date<="2007-01-20";
returns all records where date is greater/equal to 2007-01-01 and less than "2007-01-20" although I'm using "<="
*** DOES NOT RETURN RECORDS FROM DAY *20*

My doubts are:

1. how can I retrieve rows with a date>"..." NOT INCLUDING the day of the specified date, I mean apply a strict GREATHER THAN

2. how can I retrieve rows with date<="..." INCLUDING the day of the specified date. currently I have to do a date>="date1" and date<="date2+1day"

I need to retrieve rows in this way

date>X
date>=X
date<X
date<=X
date>X and date<Y
date>=X and date<Y
date>=X and date<=Y
date>X and date<=Y

and so... didn't find a function to specify ranges of dates and the LESS THAN/EQUAL operator does not include the last day, so my reports with "<=" are done by adding one day but don't like to use it this way since it could be confusing and generate errors on reports.

Thanks for any comment,
Miguel
