hi

SELECT * FROM aS_tblPresentations
WHERE CONVERT(VARCHAR,CreatedDateTime,101) BETWEEN CONVERT(VARCHAR,'10/3/2006',101) AND CONVERT(VARCHAR,'5/15/2007',101)

The above query Returns me 0 results from my database even though the
table contains hundreds of records in the specified data range

what is the reason, where i am doing wrong ?

Thanks

With regards

Run the following query and see the result


SELECT	CONVERT(VARCHAR, CreatedDateTime, 101), 
	case when CONVERT(VARCHAR, CreatedDateTime, 101) >= '10/3/2006' then '>= 10/03.2006' else '' end,
	case when CONVERT(VARCHAR, CreatedDateTime, 101) <= '5/15/2007' then '<=  5/15/2007' else '' end
FROM	aS_tblPresentations

The First Case returns '' empty column, means

No date in my Table is greater than '10/3/2006'.

but honestly i am still saying the problem is not yet clear to me

why its happening ?
below is sample data

Createdatetime
03/29/2007 <= 5/15/2007
03/22/2007 <= 5/15/2007
03/22/2007 <= 5/15/2007
03/22/2007 <= 5/15/2007
03/23/2007 <= 5/15/2007
03/23/2007 <= 5/15/2007
03/23/2007 <= 5/15/2007

Thanks
