SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date_column, %j) AS newdate FROM table $j = Day of year (001...366)
----- Original Message ----- Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 1:57 PM Subject: Determining day of year Hi, folks. I have what I hope is a simple problem. Hope someone can help. I have a database with a date field in the form 2002-02-01. I would like to be able to query the database to determine the day of year of an entry (the $yday variable in the localtime function in Perl). February 1 would be the 32nd day of the year, for instance. Is this simple and/or possible? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
