undskyld - excuses - entschuldigung - pardon - etcetera...  

the delimiter character between hours/minutes/seconds in these datetime literals should be a colon. so this is the right syntax:  

select *
from mytable
where delete_timestamp >= timestamp '2005-08-01 08:00:00.00' and delete_timestamp <= timestamp '2005-08-01 08:01:00.00'; even more readable :-)

kind regards,

Lex.

... or alternatively, use timestamp literals:  

select *
from mytable
where delete_timestamp >= timestamp '2005-08-01 08.00.00.00000' and delete_timestamp <= timestamp '2005-08-01 08.01.00.00000'; this is slightly more readable, independent of NLS settings, and you don't rely on Oracle for implicit datatype conversion.
