My date setting is ISO with US conventions, and output from a select
is in the form yyyy-mm-dd (2002-01-18, for example.
When I do a select such as
SELECT * FROM table WHERE date BETWEEN '2001-12-28' AND '2002-01-28'
It misses the entry with date '2002-01-28' (which does exist!).
Likewise,
SELECT * FROM table WHERE date = '2001-12-28' ;
gives me '0 rows'.
The only way I've been able to handle this, so far, is
in this fashion:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE
date BETWEEN 20011228 - .001 AND 20020128 + .001 ;
and similarly instead of = using, I can use
date BETWEEN 20020128 - .001 AND 20020128 + .001
I must be missing something, but I can't find it.
What is the 'right' way to select for a date type = a particular
date, and for BETWEEN to work as advertised?
I have a copy of 'Practical Postgresql', but I can't find the
answer there, or in the online manual. Of course there are a
lot of places to look and I may have missed it.
Thanks,
John Velman
