Subject: [delphi-en] How to get nearest time from table




In Table1, i have 'InTime' field, which is type character(8). The following
are the sample records in the table.

InTime
------
11:00:13
12:10:15
12:13:32
12:54:12
13:06:02
13:08:08
15:06:12

Now, i want to execute a query to select from Table1 where InTime is less
than basetime (assume basetime = 13:00:00) and nearest to basetime. How am i
going to do so cos InTime is type of character. Hope someone can help.
Thanks.
