Hi, what is the recommended way to select a range of dates?

Lets say a have a table with a lastlogin (timestamp) column and i want
toknow what users logged in for last time between 2009-05-01 and
2009-05-02?

I know that a simple

where lastlogin between '2009-05-01' and '2009-05-02' doesnt work beacuse
it doesnt include who logged in 2009-05-02 15:30:00, etc...

lastlogin between '2009-05-01' AND '2009-05-03'

Technically, BETWEEN is inclusive of the two values given so that would also match '2009-05-03 00:00:00'.

It would be kind of nice to have a right-exclusive BETWEEN. I've had a few situations like this come up, and while it's not a big deal to do, eg:

SELECT ... WHERE x BETWEEN start_time
AND end_time + '1 day' - '0.00001 seconds'::interval;

... it'd be nicer (and less sensitive to timestamp precision issues) to just have a BETWEEN RIGHT EXCLUSIVE or similar.
