I need help figuring out why a query is not returning the records I expect it to. I'm searching on a DateTime column (timestamp without time zone - not nullable). The query includes:
AND event.Primaryresp_fkey = 5000011 AND event.DateTime <= 'May-1-2019' AND event.EventDone < 1
This does not return a record that has a DateTime value "May 1, 2019 9:52 AM". If I modify the query to:
AND event.Primaryresp_fkey = 5000011 AND event.DateTime <= 'May-2-2019' AND event.EventDone < 1
it does return the record in question. I assume I am not doing the data comparison correctly, but don't know why.
The field is a timestamp - which means there is a time involved. If you don't specify one explicitly that time is going to be midnight. 9:52AM on the 1st is after midnight on the 1st so the first query doesn't return the 9:52AM record.
IOW, the DateTime field remains as-is and the comparator is turned into a timestamp without time zone.
