Hi Joni, The timestamp format is:
'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.nnnnnn' where: yyyy = year mm = month dd = day hh = hours mm = minutes ss = seconds (optional) nnnnnn = fraction of a second (optional) When referring to a timestamp, put it in single quotes and use the above format, i.e.: '2005-08-19 12:00:00' or '2005-08-19 12:00' When comparing the date part, you can use: '2005-08-19' When comparing the time part, you can use: '12:00:00' or '12:00' (note that the fractions of a second are unnecessary and not required.) So using your example, you could say: date(start_time) = '2005-08-19' and time(start_time) >= '12:00' But break this up into two tests when one will do? start_time >= '2005-08-19 12:00' Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
