Hi,

I would like to display a list of members who have their birthday a
given day (today for instance).
My idea is to store their birth date in a column, and then query the
table against the column. But the query would be like :
select id from members where MONTH(birthday) = MONTH(NOW()) AND
DAY(birthday)=DAY(NOW())
but it would perform a entire table scan with that.
What would be your best strategy for that sort of query ?
And how would you deal with 29th of february ?
