: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?
