Hi,

we have a big table (several million records) and like to select the
records regarding one day:

Within the table there is a field (DyStart) which is a Timestamp.
A convienient way to select would be:
select * from DY where cast(DyStart as Date) = :DayOfInterest (e.g.
'31.6.2007')

Sadly this select cann't use the index on field DyStart.

Therefore the select has to be something like:
... where DyStart >= :DayOfInterest and DyStart < :DayOfInterest + 1

Can you think about something more convenient?
Is there a way to optimize the first select (with cast)?

Thank you for your help,
Josef Gschwendtner
