MATLAB Database Toolbox + MS Access + Date Comparison Problem

I was trying to get a date comparison into a simple select statement.

query = 'select * from telemetry where measured_at < `06/06/2012 11:25:00 AM`;';

I kept getting this "super" informative error message.

Error using database/fetch (line 37)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1.

Error in get_DB_conn (line 17)
x = fetch(conn, query);

"Too few parameters". Hmm, I thought I called the function the wrong way. Then again, where statement with other fields worked just fine. Took me sometime to figure out this is a formatting issue. Apparently, I need to place 'special markers' around the date so that it knows it is a date. doh!

Changed to

query = 'select * from telemetry where measured_at < #06/06/2012 11:25:00 AM#;';

and it works fine now.

Maybe it is nice to have this piece of information emphasized somewhere in the documentation?
