Soql query to retrieve opportunities between two dates

Question

I am trying to retrieve opportunities created between 01-01-2011 and 06-30-2011.

Select o.CreatedDate, o.Id, o.LastModifiedDate

from Opportunity o 

where   o.CreatedDate > '1/1/2011' and o.CreatedDate <  '12/31/2011'

order by  o.LastModifiedDate

since createdate is a datetime I get an error saying createdDate is DateTime and should not be enclosed in quotes.

Can someone help on how to get this query working? I just want this query to get it running in apex explorer, this is not part of apex code

You can use the following SOQL query to retrieve opportunities between two dates:

Select o.CreatedDate, o.Id, o.LastModifiedDate 

from Opportunity o 

where   o.CreatedDate > 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z and o.CreatedDate < 2011-12-31T00:00:00Z
