Just a follow-up question.
Why does the field DATE (in the SQL Select you suggested) is a Char type? Nothing wrong. I would just like to understand why when you CAST the DateTime to DATE, the result is a char type and not a Date type.
>SELECT MAX( cast( DateTimeField as Date)) from MyTable
>
>Now...if you want to find all the rows (i.e. transactions) that have that same date as the max date
>
>SELECT * from MyTransactions
>where cast( DateTimeField as date) = (SELECT MAX( cast( DateTimeField as Date)) from MyTransactions)
>
