easy question about "between" select statements

I have a simple SQL statement like follows:

"select * from my_table where recordDate between '01/01/2004' AND '02/01/2004'"


As it is, this only returns records that are literally between those two dates, and doesnt return records that hit right on the start date or end date. What is the SQL command to make the between statement grab records inclusively, instead of exclusively as it is doing it now?

between is inclusive. The problem is that dates in SQL serber always includes a time portion. Your query is the same as

Code:
where recordDate between '01/01/2004 00:00:00'
 AND '02/01/2004 00:00:00'


use

Code:
where recordDate >= '2004-01-01 00:00:00'
 AND recordDate < '2004-01-03 00:00:00'


instead.
