I feel dreadful asking this simple question:

I have a column: MyDateTime DateTime (8)

Now I want to retrive data where MyDateTime is greater than 01/02/2006.

SELECT *
FROM MyTable
WHERE (MyDateTime > 01 / 02 / 2006)

However, this statement is not working properly. I get all the rows where MyDateTime is less than 01/02/2006

Can someone help me writing the correct statement
Thanks

01/02/2006 is MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY
Advicable to specify your date in YYYY-MM-DD

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateTime > '2006-01-02'

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateTime > '2006-02-01'
