How to use to_date in gemfire?

Question

I am trying to query by date into my gemfire region. Can anybody please help with how the to_date should be formatted to make a date query into my gemfire region.

I have a date formatted 'MM/dd/yyyy' and then I want to run a query that selects if the date equals the same time.

select * from /myRegion where regionDate = inputDate;

I have review the documentation and see that there is a to_date function, and have tried the following

select * from /myRegion where regionDate = to_date('07/01/2015', 'MM/dd/yyyy)

Caused by: line 1:75: unexpected token: 07

You are missing a closing quote (') in you OQL syntax after the date format pattern...

select * from /myRegion where regionDate = to_date('07/01/2015', 'MM/dd/yyyy')
