Did you get a chance to look at OraFAQ Forum Guide?

What do you mean by that? SQL*Plus?

I suppose you would get an error. Do you have any problem to post that here?

Anyway, use explicit conversions. I mean use to_date and the format.

It is about implicit datatype conversion. You are comparing date with a string. NLS_DATE_FORMAT in your SQL*Plus session is set to 'dd-mon-yy', but Developer Suite doesn't understand it.

Always, always use explicit conversion:

WHERE date_column BETWEEN TO_DATE('02.08.2007', 'dd.mm.yyyy') 
                      AND TO_DATE('05.09.2007', 'dd.mm.yyyy')
