I am currently updating an old site where the date used in the database is formated dd/mm/yyyy.
What I am trying to do is group the rows by month and year. Is this possible with this formatting?

You can always call STR_TO_DATE(value,’%d/%m/%Y’).
Then you’ll be able to group rows using ordinary date-extracting functions like YEAR() and MONTH().
