Hi,
Try this,

SQL

Declare @inputDate datetime
Set @inputDate = Convert(datetime, '2012-05-01', 120)
select * from dateTimeTable where dateFrom >= @inputDate and dateTo < @inputDate

This is a very simple and easy way to get row with given datetime. There are many other way as well.For more information on Datetime in Sql check this:

I hope this will help.
Thanks :)

Its not working properly

datefrom 2012-06-16 00:00:00.000
dateto 2012-09-30 00:00:00.000

Declare @inputDate datetime
Set @inputDate = Convert(datetime, '2012-09-30', 120)
select * from dateTimeTable where dateFrom >= @inputDate and dateTo < @inputDate

Thea above query is not returning rows. because its fails first condition.

Its not failing first condition, it fails 2nd condiation because the given date is equal to dateTo. Just put dateTo <= @inputDate then it will work. :)

Even, I tried its not working.

You can break your query to check where it's causing problem. First test the query by using only dateFrom >= @inputDate. Check whether this query returns your row or not. Then check dateTo <= @inputDate and check again.
