As others have underlined, "{d '2008-04-10'}" is not a valid SQL
timestamp format. I think your query adapter somehow converts it to its
appropriate format on the fly. If I were you, to spot the problem, I'd
turn query logging on in the server side and see
- How does working date queries get passed to the server?
- How does bogus query get passed to the server?
This details can help you/us to identify the problem.
Regards.
