Hello, I have a date field in my database Format is YYYY-MM-DD
Once a day at 12:01AM a script is going to run that will Select name, email from users where birthday = ??
And the ?? Is where I am stuck, I donšt care about the year at all, I just need to match on the month and day, how would I do this?

You can rewrite the query the following way:
Select name, email from users where substring (birthday from 6 FOR 5 )= ??;
6 is the position where it starts from, 5 is the length.
