Query Help

I need help with a query in Oracle. I want to
pull all the records from a table between certain
times of the day (24 hour period) for reporting.

For example:
Monday, 12:00 am to Tuesday, 12:00 am

Example record:

Start_Time
6/17/2004 11:33:19 AM

End_Time
6/18/2004 11:35:30 PM

Here is what I have:

Code:

select * from table
where 
START_TIME <= to_date('','') 
and 
END_TIME > to_date('','')

I am not sure exactly how to arrange my SQL to make
this work, being I am pretty new to the Oracle world.
I "think" you would have to use the to_date function.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks In Advance

The syntax of to_date function is:

to_date(date,date_format)

here,
date could be any date variable or string
date_format in defines the format of date in character.

currently there are so many format are available, for complete information please read the documentation.

example:

SELECT (sysdate,'Month dd, YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
FROM dual
/
or
SELECT * FROM emp
WHERE hiredate BETWEEN to_date('01-JAN-2004 10:00 A.M','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI A.M') AND to_date('31-MAY-2004 2:00 P.M','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI P.M')
FROM dual
/
