using oracle you can use the
to_date(userString,'yourdateformatasusedinthedatabase')
and then use something like
select *
from master
where fin_date = to_date(userString,'dd-mm-yyyy')
make sure your string has the correct format. If your datestring is no
complete date (ie 31/1), you can use either the round(datestring,format)
function or a to_char function with a like-statement.
