You don't have to explicitly convert all 3 but you DO have to force it to datetime.
where convert(datetime, mydatecolumn, 120) between '2012-10-10' and '2013-04-01'
Will this really work? Comparing a date with two varchar? Whitout converting the varchars?
Yes it will do an implicit conversion of the second two because of datatype precendence.
