Your between is the same as:
where dt >= '01-DEC-02' and dt <= '31-DEC-02'
and since '31-DEC-02' is '31-DEC-02 00:00:00', you are excluding
records after '31-DEC-02 00:00:00'. Hence less records are returned.

Hi Listers,
Does the date data type is not consistence on oracleDB ?
I have the query below :
Create table test (dt date,
name varchar230));
SQL > Select * from test where dt between '01-DEC-02' and '31-DEC-02'
- it returns 22 rows selected
SQL > Select * from test where to_char(dt,'mmrr')='1202'
- it returns 26 rows selected
Why the last query return more rows selected than first query ? All comment
would be appreciated.
TIA,
Sony
