Date Greater Than Operator

530085Jul 9 2007 — edited Jul 9 2007

I am comparing two date fields from two tables. Both are in DATE format. The dates look like this: 22-Apr-2006 07:00:10 AM and 01-Jun-2007 12:00:00 AM. I am adding this statement to a WHERE clause:

and vendors.vend_obsolete_date > document_xref.acceptance_date;

In this particualr case, I should get no result because the 1st date came before the 2nd date. But when I run my program, it seems to be ignoring my > statement. Is using a greater than sign the proper syntax to compare if the 1st date field is bigger (came after) another?

Thanks!
