Oracle comparing timestamp with date

Question

I have a timestamp field and I just want to compare the date part of it in my query in Oracle

How do I do that,

SELECT *
FROM Table1
WHERE date(field         


        

Answer 1

You can truncate the date

SELECT *
FROM Table1
WHERE trunc(field1) = to_Date('2012-01-01','YYY-MM-DD')
