Comparing DateTime in Placeholders

Question

Hi there,
I am using Query with PlaceHolders to compare dates. But its giving error as below
“Syntax error converting datetime from character string”
My query is,
Select fieldname from TableName where LastUpdated=’$Date$’
Here LastUpdated (say 2005-01-01 00:00:00.0) is SQL DateTime field and I am mapping Date (say 2005-01-01) sent from RFC in the Key parameter ‘Date’. I also tried by concatenating ‘ 00:00:00.0’ to the given ‘Date’.
Any help about this would be appreciated.Thanks.

Try something along the lines of:
select *
from   your_table_name
where your_column_name between to_date('8/22/2013  8:24:28 AM', 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM')
                                             and to_date('8/22/2013  8:44:28 AM', 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM');
so, when you update, it'll be:
update your_table_name
set your_column_name = whatever_value_you_need_it_to_be
where your_column_name between to_date('8/22/2013  8:24:28 AM', 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM')
                                             and to_date('8/22/2013  8:44:28 AM', 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM');
