PostgreSQL: Select data with a like on timestamp field

Question

I am trying to select data from a table, using a \"like\" on date field \"date_checked\" (timestamp). But I have this error :

SQLSTATE[42883]: Undefined func

I don't believe you can do a like on a date column without converting it to a string representation first.

You can use the between query to select between two dates, for instance:

SELECT id FROM my_table WHERE date_checker BETWEEN '2011-01-01' AND '2011-02-01';
