Hi Gerald, I tried the following query, select DATE_FORMAT(expendituredate,"%d-%b-%Y") as expdate,sum(amount) as amount from expenditure where userid=11 and expendituredate between '2002-8-01' and '2002-8-31' group by expendituredate order by expendituredate; which is not overriding the expenditure column. Still my query goes for the full table scan.
