There is a date column in a table and I want to select data from the table by month (instead of by every single entry within each month).
Here's a sample of the table: mysql> SELECT period,hours FROM log GROUP BY period; +------------+-------+ | period | hours | +------------+-------+ | 1999-07-15 | 73.1 | | 1999-07-31 | 82.0 | | 1999-08-15 | 36.5 | | 1999-08-31 | 78.5 | | 1999-09-15 | 55.0 | | 1999-09-30 | 52.5 | | 1999-10-15 | 56.0 | | 1999-10-31 | 61.0 | | 1999-11-15 | 7.5 | | 1999-11-30 | 26.0 | | 1999-12-15 | 17.5 | | 1999-12-31 | -12.5 | +------------+-------+ 12 rows in set (0.00 sec) I would love to do something like select period and hours from table and group by month. Is there a MySQL function to help with this? ~Leif ************************************************************************** This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may contain privileged or confidential information.
