David,

your query will get all records where the time is
'000000' (hh24miss) -> MIDNIGHT. You need to
deal with the time portion.

List,

I am trying to do an export query with a date field.  I have tired different
syntax.  I know there are 500+ records with a date of 11/06/2003 in this
table.  What is wrong with my query since it returns no records?  I have
done this with character fields with no problem. What am I missing in the
date syntax?

$exp  user/pwd  file=test.dmp  log=test.log  tables=processing_messages
             query=\"where message_date=to_date\(\'11/06/2003\'\,
\'MM/DD/YYYY\'\)\"                                


example output:
