here is the actual query: agencysacks=# SELECT jobnumseq, (SELECT cname FROM clientinfo ci WHERE ci.acode = j.clientid) as client, shrtdesc, to_char(proofduedate, 'Dy FMMon DD, YYYY HH12 am') FROM jobs j WHERE proofduedate BETWEEN to_timestamp('01 October 2003 00:01', 'DD Month YYYY HH24:MI') AND to_timestamp ('01 October 2003 23:59', 'DD Month YYYY HH24:MI') ORDER BY client, proofduedate; jobnumseq | client | shrtdesc | to_char -----------+--------+----------+--------- (0 rows)
agencysacks=# select proofduedate from jobs where proofduedate > '2003-09-30'; proofduedate ------------------------ 2003-09-30 17:00:00-04 2003-09-30 22:00:00-04 2003-10-01 16:00:00-04 2003-09-30 15:00:00-04 2003-10-01 13:00:00-04 2003-10-01 13:00:00-04 2003-10-01 13:00:00-04 2003-10-01 16:00:00-04 2003-10-01 16:00:00-04 2003-10-01 16:00:00-04 2003-10-02 00:00:00-04 (11 rows) I am trying to create a 'today' type query. between october 1, 2003 00:01 am and october 1, 2003 23:59 above is my query (which worked as expected on september 29 and 30 then on october 1 thinks there are no rows. Maybe I am just high and screwing up the query. I have been looking at it so long. That's when I tried september 31 and it 'worked', giving me october 1s rows.
