# BETWEEN transformations

A BETWEEN predicate is transformed into equivalent predicates that use the >= and <= operators, which are optimizable. For example:

    flight_date BETWEEN DATE('2005-04-01') and DATE('2005-04-10')

is transformed into

    flight_date >= DATE('2005-04-01')
    AND flight_date >= '2005-04-10'
