Just want to point out that you are using the BETWEEN operator with a date field... if your date field can have time values in it, then you probably are not getting what you want.

Each of the dates in the between clause will default to a time of "00:00:00.000". If you're looking for all dates on 8/14, then you need to either:

1. Record_date between '8/12/2009' and '8/14/2009 23:59:59.997'

OR

2. Record_date >= '8/12/2009' and Record_date < '8/15/2009'
