Question

I’m trying to extract data from a MySQL server with PHP. The information has a date field like this YYYYMM (fx. 201108). My question is how would an SQL query look if I wanted to return the first or last half of a specific year? I have tired something like this, however the lessthan seems to be ignored:

SELECT * FROM `poster` WHERE mdr LIKE '2011%' AND mdr < '%06'

I’m afraid google havnt been much help for me.

Answer 1

you can do this, but not with VARCHAR or TEXT:

SELECT * FROM `poster` WHERE mdr < '201106' AND mdr > '201100'
