I do something similar but with MEDIUMINT. hittime DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00', prd MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, ... KEY idx_p (prd), ... UPDATE tbl SET prd=EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM hittime) ... Then query it with SELECT ... WHERE prd=200408 etc. -- Don Read [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- It's always darkest before the dawn.
