PostgreSQL - Advanced Features

You wrote this query but it gives an error:

SELECT * FROM bookings WHERE stay && '2023-01-01'::daterange;

What is the problem?

AThe column stay is not a range type

BThe right side should be a daterange, but '2023-01-01'::daterange is invalid

CThe && operator cannot be used with daterange types

DThe query is missing a JOIN clause

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check the cast on the right side
Trying to cast a single date to daterange is invalid; a range needs two bounds.
Step 2: Understand the correct usage
To use &&, both sides must be ranges. You must provide a valid daterange, e.g. daterange('2023-01-01', '2023-01-02').
Final Answer:
The right side should be a daterange, but '2023-01-01'::daterange is invalid -> Option B
Quick Check:
Invalid cast to daterange causes error [OK]

Quick Trick: Cast to daterange with two bounds, not a single date [OK]
