that could match the first microsecond of 2012-04-24
otherwise not a prolem :)

another option is BETWEEN '2012-04-23 00:00:00' AND '2012-04-23 23:59:60'

or even BETWEEN '2012-04-23 00:00:00' AND '2012-04-23 23:59:60.999999'

these are reliant on documented behaviours, but documented
inosyncratic behaviours, behaviours that could potentially be improved.
such that it woulkd no longer be reliable.

this way is mathematically correct and relies on standard guaranteed
behaviours only.
