I have a problem with dates in my database. When I want to compare if a date is inside or outside a given time-period I dont get the expected results. Using "bigger than date1 AND smaller than date2" (for detailed syntax, see example below) I dont get the right result.

The only comparison that works is if the dates compared are checked for equality.

Example:

I have a test table "Period" with 4 rows of data. The rows looks like this:

Period_id    Start_tid           Stopp_tid            Resurs_id    Uppdrag_id
1000           2000-08-01    2000-08-15        1000            1000
1001           2000-08-03    2000-08-14        1001            1001
1002           2000-10-01    2000-10-05        1000            1001
1003           2000-10-06    2000-10-10        1001            1001
 

My Sample script looks like this.

e  DROP TABLE  Period;
e  CREATE TABLE Period
    (Period_id        INT  PRIMARY KEY AUTO INCREMENT,
     Start_tid        DATE,
     Stopp_tid      DATE,
     Resurs_id      INT,
     Uppdrag_id   INT);

The mission is:   I want all "Resurs_id" that have periods overlap my new period "Tillg_f"  -> "Tillg_t"

This is my debug results coming out of my servlet application.
 
 

Debug info for com.gefionsoftware.instantonline.basic.DBCollectServlet

     Database call info
       SQL statement: SELECT DISTINCT Resurs_id FROM Period WHERE Start_tid > {d '2000-07-07'} AND {d '2000-07-10'} > Stopp_tid
       Number of rows read/modified: 2

     Request parameters
       result: Resurs_id.Lista_pa
       columns: DISTINCT Resurs_id
       debug: true
       condition: Start_tid > $session|Resurs_sok.prio_1_pa(Tillg_f)||date$ AND $session|Resurs_sok.prio_1_pa(Tillg_t)||date$ > Stopp_tid
       dbname: db_pa
       table: Period
       runif: $session|Resurs_sok.prio_1_pa(Kat)$ = 2

As you can see the database found 2 "Resurs_id" there it shuld be none. It seems like the expr. with " > " doesn't work. When I test with " = " it seems to work and when I test the expr. one and one it also works.  My version of instantdb is 2.41..

Can anyone help me?

Regards!!
