Date Testing
Hi All,

in SQLServer 2000 as part of a Select statement I have:

(CONVERT(char(11), dbo.Submission.GatewayTimestamp, 103) > '13/05/2001')

in my Where clause.

The GatewayTimestamp column is of type datetime.

Why do I have returned records where the date is '24/04/2001' as well as Records > than my date specified?

That's because you are comparing strings and not dates. '2' is larger than '1'

Code:
where dbo.Submission.GatewayTimestamp > '2001-05-13'
