I need to select all entries between two given dates (Nov 10 and Jan 25, for example) regardless of year.

It’s MUCH easier if it would just be Jan 25 and Nov 10. But how would I structure my query to look for all data between Nov 10 and Jan 25?

    You can use MySQL’s DAYOFYEAR() function:

    DAYOFYEAR(field) BETWEEN DAYOFYEAR(A) AND DAYOFYEAR(B)

    If DAYOFYEAR(A)>DAYOFYEAR(B) then your application need either replace BETWEEN with NOT BETWEEN or else swap the order of the arguments. If you need to do it in SQL:

    DAYOFYEAR(field) BETWEEN
   LEAST(DAYOFYEAR(A), DAYOFYEAR(B)) AND GREATEST(DAYOFYEAR(A), DAYOFYEAR(B))

    Be careful of leap years as the DAYOFYEAR() function will take those into consideration
