Thank you for the explanation. I sort of have to use the BETWEEN since this is the syntax used in a 3P tool I am using. And since I am only concerned about comparing dates and not times, maybe the the fact that BETWEEN does not handle time part properly won't affect me. Or maybe I will take the time and change the 3P tool (I have the source code).
