How do i use the between operator for date ranges in sql?
Example:
-- Incorrect usage of BETWEEN for date range
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_date BETWEEN '2022-01-01' AND '2022-12-31';
Solution:
-- Correct usage of BETWEEN for date range
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_date BETWEEN '2022-01-01' AND '2022-12-31 23:59:59';
When using BETWEEN with dates, ensure that you cover the entire range of times for the given day, especially when comparing up to the end of a day.
