Sql query for selecting records in between Date range

Question

I am trying to write a query for selecting records based on:

1. They should belong to particular category

2. They should be between Start date and End date.

   I have records like:

   EventId| EventName| Event_Category| Event_StartDate| Event_EndDate|
      1   |  aaa     |     4         |  2014-06-10    |  2014-06-15  |
      2   |  bbb     |     5         |  2014-06-10    |  2014-06-15  |
      3   |  ccc     |     6         |  2014-06-10    |  2014-07-11  |
      4   |  ddd     |     5         |  2014-06-01    |  2014-07-10  |
      5   |  eee     |     5         |  2014-06-10    |  2014-06-014 |
   

   Stored procudure:

   create proc usp_filterevnts @Categoryid int, @StartDate date, @EndDate date
   as
   begin 
   select * from Events Where Event_Category=@Categoryid  and ( Event_Startdate>@StartDate and Event_Enddate<@EndDate )
   end
   

   If i execute the sp as

     exec usp_filterevnts 5,'2014-06-09','2014-06-16' 
   

   It should display records of Category 5Th records , whose start date and end date between '2014-06-09' and '2014-06-16 ..ie 2nd record, 5 th record..

   Is my stored procedure correct for this??

Answer 1

select * from Events Where Event_Category=@Categoryid and (Event_Startdate between @StartDate and @EndDate) and (Event_Enddate between @StartDate and @EndDate)
