hii,,

i have problem in fetching dates that are in dd/mm/yyyy format.
i m using query--

select * from tborc where date between '01/07/2010' and '11/07/2010'

the problem is that this query is not comparing months , it is comparing dates only.
like if date field has following data--

date(varchar)
----------
02/07/2010
10/07/2010
05/08/2010

then it should not take 05/08/2010.

You should really store dates as datatype datetime and format it only when displaying.
But to your problem
select * from tborc where convert(datetime,date,104) between convert(datetime,'01/07/2010',104) and convert(datetime,'11/07/2010',104)

the problem is because you are storing date in varchar. Why not using datatime data type ?

select * from tborc where convert(datetime,date,104) between convert(datetime,'01/07/2010',104) and convert(datetime,'11/07/2010',104)

I used this same query but create some issues
like

'01/07/2010' and '01/09/2010'
not showing 08 & 09 months data ..

this will cause the optimiser to ignore an idex if already present on date field
