title: Oracle SQL : timestamps in where clause
body: <p>I need to look up rows within a particular time frame.</p>
  
  <pre><code>select * 
  from TableA 
  where startdate &gt;= '12-01-2012 21:24:00' 
    and startdate &lt;= '12-01-2012 21:25:33'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I.e.: I need to look up rows with timestamp precision of SECONDS. How do I achieve this?</p>
  
  <p>FYI: The <code>startdate</code> column is of type <code>TIMESTAMP</code>.</p>
