    HOw would we know what "correct" is? How do you know it is not "efficient?" What indexes do you have on the table? Did you run an explain plan? This question is too broad. Can't really help without more details. Sorry

  • What query? Looks like you removed it in an edit, leaving the question meaningless. Please don't do that.

You should not convert your date datatypes to character when doing the comparisons. This has two negative effects




  1. You effectively "hide" the statistics on those columns, which means
    the optimizer may not make the best choice of execution plan

  2. If you have indexes on the columns, you are preventing their use.


If your CREATED_ON and MODIFIED_ON columns do not store a time portion, then your predicates can be simply



BC.CREATED_ON = trunc(SYSDATE)
OR
BC.MODIFIED_ON = trunc(SYSDATE)


If your columns do include a time portion, then you should formulate your predicates as shown



BC.CREATED_ON >= trunc(sysdate) and BC.CREATED_ON < trunc(sysdate)+1
or
BC.MODIFIED_ON >= trunc(sysdate) and BC.MODIFIED_ON < trunc(sysdate)+1


What you are trying to do, is avoid having a function applied to the columns, TO_CHAR() in your question
