title: REST - Date range filter on a singleline text column
body: <p>Im having a tough time finding details on this. Im using Sharepoint 2010 and using REST to grab my data. I would like to query a date range using REST:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/TEST?$filter=(Column2 ge datetime'2016-04-06') and (Column2 lt datetime'2016-04-09')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I am getting an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Opérateur 'ge' incompatible avec les types d'opérande 'System.String' et 'System.DateTime' à la position 20.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Sorry it's in french but roughly translates to the 'ge' operator is incompatible with 'System.String' et 'System.DateTime' types.</p>
  
  <p>Here is an example of my columns, they are all single line texts columns. </p>
  
  <pre><code>Column1    Column2             Column3
  BLah       2016-04-01 16:00    Blah1
  Blahs      2016-04-02 16:00    Blahs2
  Blhass     2016-04-03 16:00    Blahss3
  Blhasss    2016-04-06 16:00    Blhasss4
  sBlah      2016-04-08 16:00    sBlah5
  ssBlah     2016-04-08 16:00    ssBlah6
  sssBlah    2016-04-09 16:00    sssBlah7
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Would anyone understand with it's doing this?</p>
