SQL

DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE DateField BETWEEN "12/09/2012" to "20/09/2012"

I assumed you are using SQLServer, but since this operator is an sql standard one, you will find it also in other engines. Btw, you can simply have the same with this one:

SQL

DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE DateField >= "12/09/2012" AND DateField <= "20/09/2012"

If you want to delete records between two dates, you would just put that information in the WHERE clause like so:

SQL

DELETE
FROM myTable
WHERE myDate >= '12/9/2012' AND myDate <= '20/9/2012'

I would run that as a SELECT statement first to make sure you are getting the right records before actually running the delete. Basically, just replace the DELETE with SELECT * like so:

SQL

SELECT *
FROM myTable
WHERE myDate >= '12/9/2012' AND myDate <= '20/9/2012'
