Select partial DATE?

[Jason Lam]

Hello!

Let's say I have a DATE field and in the dataset, I got some dates such as

2000-01-01
2001-02-01
2001-02-05
2001-02-06

How would I be able to just select all the 2001-02 entries? Obviously, the month  and 
the year are the same, but the date is not, is there a mysql function to do this? 

In a nutshell, how do I select some DATE type of data just by year and month match?

Thanks
