Extract between year *and* month

am Thu, dem 16.11.2006, um 13:03:20 -0800 mailte One folgendes:

Hi - I'd like to return search results based on a date range that is
selected by the user :

<select name="date1yy">
<option value="1995-01-01" selected>1995</option>

<select name="date2yy">
<option value="2006-12-31" selected>2006</option>

My SQL is :

select *
from tablename
where title like ('%nith%')
and recall_date between
extract(year from date '1995-01-01')
and extract(year from date '2006-12-31')
order by recall_date

How can I add the MONTH to be included in the between statement ?
If I select 1995 - 2006 it currently only returns rows up to 2005-12-31

and to_char(recall_date, 'yyyy-mm') between
to_char('1995-01-01'::date, 'yyyy-mm')
and to_char('2006-12-31'::date, 'yyyy-mm')
order by recall_date;

**untested**

Hi!

You could use date_trunc instead of extract to truncate the date down to the
month:

select date_trunc('month','2006-12-31'::timestamp);
date_trunc
---------------------
2006-12-01 00:00:00

Greetings,

Try

select *
from tablename
where title like ('%nith%')
and date_trunc('month',recall_date::timestamp) >= date_trunc('month','1995-01-01'::timestamp)
and date_trunc('month',recall_date::timestamp) <= date_trunc('month','2006-12-31'::timestamp)
order by recall_date

Actually, that looks a lot like BETWEEN, which is even shorter :)
