:is there a way to use the date part of a datetime field that :still uses the :index on the datetime field? i've tried a few different things :and it keeps :saying in the explain it says that its a possible_key, but :NULL for the key
I'm not sure if this ignores the indexes or not, but I mostly use DATE_FORMAT(). Assuming column "t" is a DATETIME column: SELECT DATE_FORMAT(t, "%Y-%d-%m") FROM tbl_name; Have you tried it yet?
