the problem is that the result is just only display the records of year 2012 although the table has records for year 2011.
below is my code

SELECT * FROM tbl_name where date between '06/30/2011' and '06/30/2012'

    you need to convert it bact to date using STR_TO_DATE, eg

    SELECT * 
FROM tbl_name 
where STR_TO_DATE(date, '%m/%d/%Y') between '2011-06-31' and '2012-06-31'

    It is not good to store Dates as string on database because as you see it is hard to search for it, you need some extra functions to convert it back to date and to which I think it kills the index.

    If you have time or privilege to alter, fix the values and change it to DateTime data type.
