Suppose there is a relation schema R(name,DOB)
'name' is in char data type and DOB is in date i.e. contain values such as '04-APR-1988'.
My query is to find the names from the table R whose DOB is after say
'26-Jan-1985'. How do I get this with the help of a sql query?

declare @R table(name char(10),DOB varchar(30))
insert @R
select 'your name','04-APR-1988'

select name From @R where CONVERT(DATE,DOB) > CONVERT(DATE,'26-Jan-1985')

If DOB is of DATE or DATETIME datatype, you can just do

select name From R where DOB > '19850126'
