set @sql='select * from student where  birthday='+'''1990-01-20 21:00:00.000'''

are you sure you have data with this datetime value? Can you post here some example from your student table?

Look into BETWEEN. And I hope you're not storing the date as a string. But thanks for using a proper date format.

This query will return the records with a birthday date of 9pm on 20th January 1990, pretty specific. Check whether your birthday field is storing the time component of the datetime values

Assumes time component and it will be defaulted to 00:00:00.000 so you get all the 20th records
SQL
SELECT * FROM student WHERE birthday BETWEEN '1990-01-20' AND '1990-01-21'

This drops the time component from the comparison
SQL
SELECT * FROM student WHERE CONVERT(DATE,birthday) = '1990-01-20'

If your birth day field storing date and time then you can try:

SELECT * FROM student WHERE birthday BETWEEN '"+FromDate.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy")+"' AND '"+ToDate.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy 23:59:59")+"'

Store birth day without time and fetch using "dd-MMM-yyyy" format.
