[MySQL/PHP] My table has a date column of datetime format. All records are of the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS variety.

MySQL queries like SELECT record FROM table WHERE date > '1941' AND date < '1945' work nicely.

MySQL queries like SELECT record FROM table WHERE date > '1941-03-01' AND date < '1945-01-30' also work nicely.

But what about if I wanted all records that were filed in March, regardless of year? Or all records filed on the 17th, regardless of month/year?

“SELECT record FROM table WHERE date = ’03’` clearly doesn’t work.

I know I could snag it with a LIKE '%-03-%' parameter, but that doesn’t leave room for me to search for range, like all records from March to May.

Help? 🙂

    ... WHERE MONTH(date) = 3, e.g. =)
