I am trying to search in a view for everything with a date of 5/4/12 but my search returns no results. I know there is data in there since if I do not put a date constraint I can see the data. What is the best way of searching on a DATETIME column? The code I use now is:

SELECT * FROM viewMimicProviderInquiryRequestsTable
WHERE InitialDateofRequest = '2012-05-04'
ORDER BY InitialDateofRequest

SELECT * FROM viewMimicProviderInquiryRequestsTable
WHERE InitialDateofRequest >= '20120504' AND InitialDateofRequest < '20120505'
ORDER BY InitialDateofRequest

I take it then you can not use the "=" sign in date lookups?

it is a matter of the time part in a datetime column.
