Hi,
I want to search in the database for date value
and I'm trying to do this with these queries:

SELECT _id, _amount FROM tbl_list WHERE _Date ='12/31/2010'

and

SELECT _id, _amount FROM tbl_list WHERE _Date =Cast('12/31/2010' as DateTime)

But this doesn't return any value.
If someone has an idea to overcome this problem please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

Use yyyy-mm-dd format
Like:

SELECT _id, _amount FROM tbl_list WHERE _Date ='2010-12-31'

I would suspect it is trying to compare 00:00:00.000 to a time of day.

You can use

SELECT _id, _amount FROM tbl_list WHERE CONVERT(VARCHAR, _Date, 101) ='12/31/2010'

and it should work.
