Question

Hi Team
I want the SQl query to get the data for the following comparison : -
Order Created is a Date Column , and i want to find out all the values from (SYSDATE-1) 18:00 hours to SYSDATE 08:00 hours
i.e.
(SYSDATE-1) 18:00:00 < Order.Created < SYSDATE 08:00:00.

If i want the data in the below way i.e.
from (SYSDATE-1) 18:00 hours to SYSDATE 17:59 hours ---> (SYSDATE-1) 18:00:00 < Order.Created < SYSDATE 07:59:00.If you want to include rows from exactly 18:00:00 yesterday (but no earlier), and exclude rows from exatly 08:00:00 today (or later), then use:
WHERE   ord_dtl.submit_dt  >= TRUNC (SYSDATE) - (6 / 24)
AND     ord_dtl.submit_dt  <  TRUNC (SYSDATE) + (8 / 24)
So can i use the below format : -
ord_dtl.submit_dt BETWEEN trunc(sysdate)-(6/24) and trunc(sysdate)+(7.59/24) . Please suggest . .59 hours is .59 * 60 * 60 = 2124 seconds (or .59 * 60 = 35.4 minutes), so the last time included in the range above is 07:35:24, not 07:59:59.
If you really, really want to use BETWEEN (which includes both end points), then you could do it with date arithmentic:
WHERE   ord_dtl.submit_dt  BETWEEN  TRUNC (SYSDATE) - (6 / 24)
                  AND         TRUNC (SYSDATE) + (8 / 24)
                                           - (1 / (24 * 60 * 60))but it would be simpler and less error prone to use INTERVALs, as Karthick suggested earlier:
WHERE   ord_dtl.submit_dt  BETWEEN  TRUNC (SYSDATE) - INTERVAL '6' HOUR
                  AND         TRUNC (SYSDATE) + INTERVAL '8' HOUR
                                           - INTERVAL '1' SECONDEdited by: Frank Kulash on Apr 17, 2013 9:36 AM

Changed "- (8 /24)" to "+ (8 /24)" in first code fragment (after Blushadown, below)
