This query however, returns the correct rows: mysql> SELECT * FROM testing WHERE MONTH(date) = MONTH(now()) OR MONTH(date) = MONTH(NOW())-1; +------------+ | date | +------------+ | 2004-04-10 | | 2004-04-15 | +------------+ Why does the first one not work? its shorter to type :) Thanks -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
