Search orders between two dates (both included)

Hi, I want to search orders by date between two given dates by user (both included), and I don#%92 t know how to do it. In this way it doesn#%92 t work: WHERE (o.theDate >= @from_date and o.theDate < @to_date)
Only are returned dates greater or equal than the first one (@from_date) and smaller than the second one (@to_date). How can I do it so that if user specify for example @from_date = 29/11/2005 and @to_date = 30/11/2005, both dates are included in returned records? And also, if user specify equal date for both ‘from#%92 and ‘to#%92, for example @from_date = 30/11/2005 and @to_date = 30/11/2005 orders with this date (30/11/2005) are returned? Thank you

Your < operator means that @to_date is not included, so replace that with a <= operator. That, or use this:
WHERE o.theDate BETWEEN @from_date AND @to_date. This is just the start, because if your o.theDate includes the time of day, other than 0:00:000, and you have entries for @to_date with a time after 0:00:000, then those entries will not be returned. In that case, use
WHERE CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), o.theDate, 120) BETWEEN @from_date AND @start_date Frank Kalis has written an excellent article on how to handle dates, it’s on this site somewhere.

Hi Adriaan, I already tried ‘<=’ operator and ‘BETWEEN’ condition and it didn’ t work. I suppose it’ s because the reason you said:

I am interested in CONVERT function you mentioned. What does exactly this?:
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), o.theDate, 120)

120 means yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi<img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-7.gif’ alt=’:s’ />s(24h) format.<br />So, Select Convert (varchar(10), o.thedate,120) will return i.e:<br />2005-01-01<br /><br />Luis Martin<br />Moderator<br />SQL-Server-Performance.com<br /><br /><font size="1">One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important<br />Bertrand Russell<br /></font id="size1"><br /><br /><font size="1">All postings are provided “AS IS” with no warranties for accuracy.</font id="size1"><br /><br /><br /><br />

Welcome to the forum!
Could you please start a new thread for your question?
From your question it seems like you are looking for something really basic like SELECT … FROM table WHERE DocumentTypeKey IN (15, 16)
