Use the BETWEEN[^] function

e.g.

SQL

CREATE PROCEDURE Select_From_MyTable
(
	@FromDate DATETIME,
	@TODate DATETIME
)

AS

SELECT
	*
FROM
	MY_TABLE 
WHERE 
	MY_DATE BETWEEN @FromDate AND  @TODate

[Edit]Forgot to mention that the between function is inclusive so will include the @FromDate and @ToDate values

Solution 2

As Reiss says, you can use BETWEEN, or you can simply say

SQL

SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE [date] >= '2011-07-21' AND [date] <= '2011-07-28'

The later form is more flexible, in that it allows exclusive dates and well as inclusive - BETWEEN always includes both the start and end dates in the calculation.

I agree that you have more flexability in your approach, as you can make it non-inclusive if you wish.

This article (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/921282/compare-performance-difference-of-t-sql-between-and-operator) suggests that the execution plan is the same (I haven't tested this), so performance shouldn't be an issue either way

BETWEEN is a nicer solution - it is easier to read and thus maintain - but you often need Greater-than and less-than-or-equal-to so I thought I'd add the other method so the OP didn't try to twist his data to fit the solution! :laugh:
