[Mapserver-users] OGR Layer with SQL

[Blaine Hackett]

Frank

That worked great!  Thanks!

Now, however, I need to find out how to do this with a
date/time field.

I tried using the same syntax but with the time: 
<SrcSQL>SELECT * FROM subset WHERE(tim_time >
'7:00:00 AM') AND (tim_time < '7:30:00
AM')</SrcSQL>
but that threw me the "Open Failed" error.  There must
be someplace that discusses how you might format SQL
for time/date field but I can't find anything.  

Got any ideas?
