Problems with query that uses date as filter .

Question

I have an application and it's have a form automatically generated by Apex, through a View. That view use instead of triggers to update , insert and delete, because the view use many tables..
But always that I run a query using filters, setting a period of date, some dates show data, but the majority not, even if they have data on the database.
I even looked for the datas in the table on Object's Browser and filter by the dates that has the problem and they showed the values registered on these dates.
But I don't have a idea why it doesn't show these values when I run the query.
Exemple of query used : select * from coresp where data_2 between '22/05/09' and '22/05/09';
this query return two lines, but in object's browser return more than 100 lines .

Hi,
You need to make sure that SQL knows that these are dates by using the TO_DATE() function:
select * from coresp where data_2 between TO_DATE('22/05/09','DD/MM/YY') and TO_DATE('22/05/09','DD/MM/YY')Andy
