data retrieve for the current date

[amvis]

My database(PostgreSQL) have some amount of data, so i need to retrieve the data for current date only.But my doubt is how to compare the today date with created_at field. Now am trying so many ways to find that. 

Is this correct way  where created_at BETWEEN '2012-01-16 00:00:00.00000' AND '2012-01-17 00:00:00.00000'...?

Thank you

Answer by example:

$ rails console
1.9.3-p0 :001 > today = Date.today
=> Fri, 03 Feb 2012
1.9.3-p0 :002 > tomorrow = Date.today + 1.day
=> Sat, 04 Feb 2012
1.9.3-p0 :003 > orders = Order.where(:created_at => today...tomorrow)
Order Load (0.7ms) SELECT "orders".* FROM "orders" WHERE
("orders"."created_at" >= '2012-02-03' AND "orders"."created_at" <
'2012-02-04')

Be sure to check your timezones...

Date.today does not honor the timezone set within Rails...

You might want to use Time.zone.now.to_date instead...
