Simple DateTime sql query

Question

How do I query DateTime database field within a certain range?

I am using SQL SERVER 2005

Error code below

SELECT * 
  FROM TABLENAME 
 WHERE         


        

Answer 1

You need quotes around the string you're trying to pass off as a date, and you can also use BETWEEN here:

 SELECT *
   FROM TABLENAME
  WHERE DateTime BETWEEN '04/12/2011 12:00:00 AM' AND '05/25/2011 3:53:04 AM'

See answer to the following question for examples on how to explicitly convert strings to dates while specifying the format:
