Unfortunatelly, seems not all get your answers in documentation, neither WebPTS, neither in mailing lists. It's not MaxDB exclusivity. Several open source projects has poor documentation, specially in infra-structure docs. IMHO, the MaxDB manuals are fine, since I already have experience with oth

Date ranges without intervals...

Given a single user supplied date, find all of the data within 1 month of that date. In databases that support intervals and between, that'd look something like: post_date between '2003-12-01 00:00:00' and '2003-12-01 00:00:00' + interval '1' month What is the MaxDB equivalent to this? Note
