SQL Server : fetching records between two dates?

Question

In SQL I write a SELECT statement to fetch data between two dates, using between and

Ex:

select * 
from xxx 
where dates b         


        

Answer 1

You need to be more explicit and add the start and end times as well, down to the milliseconds:

select * 
from xxx 
where dates between '2012-10-26 00:00:00.000' and '2012-10-27 23:59:59.997'

The database can very well interpret '2012-10-27' as '2012-10-27 00:00:00.000'.
