I have been given the task to combine 2 mysql fields into one and then make it so that the new field can be searched. The 2 fields I had to combine in my database where previous year registered and current years registered. The format both these fields are in are dd/mm/yyyy. I have combined these fields into a field called Years Registered whih is still in the same format dd/mm/yyyy but has the years registered seperated by a comma(,). I am wondering how I would go about performing a couple different kinds of querys on this column. The mysql queries I have to perform are: Show All() , Show All between dates: mm/yyyy and mm/yyyy , Before: mm/yyyy , After: mm/yyyy

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

    I don’t like it but if you need you can use the next solution:

    extract date using start_date = STR_TO_DATE(SUBSTRING(your_new_field, 1, 10))
    and end_date=STR_TO_DATE(SUBSTRING(your_new_field, 12, 10))
