I find t"xyz" coherent with SQL where dates and times are simply literals.
Some examples are:
DATE'1999-12-25'
TIME'08:23:16'
TIME'14:23:16.5'
TIMESTAMP'1999-12-25 08:23:16'
select * from period where date = DATE '1999-12-25'
Datetime Literals:
|--+-+-DATE--'YYYY-MM-DD'-------+-----------------------+-------|
| '-'alternative_date_value'-' |
+-+---TIME--+-'HH:MM:SS'----------+---+--------------+
| | '-'HH:MM:SS.fraction'-' | |
| '-'alternative_time_value'----------' |
'-+-TIMESTAMP--'YYYY-MM-DD--+-HH:MM:SS'----------+-+-'
| '-HH:MM:SS.fraction'-' |
'-'alternative_timestamp_value'------------------'
Not a request, just an example.
best regards,
Lorenzo
