Funney SQL

here i want to select all the rows where
1. next_retry < end_retry
2. next_retry < sysdate

when i ran this query event thought the next_retry is not lessthan the sysdate, the query giving back the results. you can see the
data here.


SQL> select * from git_retry WHERE next_retry < end_retry
2 AND next_retry < sysdate;

SISDN SID GIT_MSG_NU PROFILE_ID WELCOME_MSG ICCID

SQL> select to_char(NEXT_RETRy,'YY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS') from git_retry;

TO_CHAR(NEXT_RETRY
-----------------
02-12-11 02:56:12
02-12-11 02:55:56

SQL> select to_char(sysdate,'YY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS') from dual;

TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'
-----------------
02-12-11 02:52:01

Thanks.

The HH format gives a 1-12 hour value so you may have a confusion between 02 hrs and 14 hrs. Try with HH24:
select to_char(NEXT_RETRY,'YY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') from git_retry;

Also try with YYYY maybe it is 01 instead of 2001:
select to_char(NEXT_RETRY,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') from git_retry;
