Rules for Dates
Sometimes you need to use a date as a search condition. Oracle 11g displays dates in the default format DD-MON-YY, with MON being the standard three-letter abbreviation for the month. Because the Pubdate field contains letters and hyphens, it’s not considered a numeric value when Oracle 11g performs searches. Therefore, a date value must be enclosed in single quotation marks
SELECT * FROM books WHERE pubdate = '21-JAN-05'
SELECT order#, orderdate FROM orders WHERE orderdate < '01-APR-09'
