Agreed that the formatting was a bit challenging but a great question. Thanks Lynn!!!

I'm agreeing with what most people have put up before myself. Great question, it really made me think, but the answer format played some tricks on my brain this early in the morning.


Oh no, we're toast! I've got this. *Keyboard clatter* Woah, how'd you do that? I'm a DBA...Booyah

Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is. Everything I do, I do it big

Okay, I should have used the DATE data type for the question, then I could have left the time portion off the answers.

That's a bit frightening. Good to know. I'm glad I've never run into this!


That's why I submitted this question. I'm sure at some point that someone is going to run into this and wonder why it isn't working the why they think it should. By making people aware of the differences in behaviour of the different date/time data types, hopefully this won't happen.

Now I know why this question is worth 2 points:

One point is for the question per se.
The other point is due for the high grade of difficulty on read the answer options

Good excercise for the eyes too, but now I need a glasses with more gain

1 minute of thinking, 10 minutes of looking for the right answer among those offered... But a nice question, anyway - thanks, Lynn!

I would like to hear a SQL philosopher/historian explain how this situation came about. It seems such a violation of language orthogonality - lying in wait to create bad data.
