[SQL] Wildcard in date field???

[Web Manager]

Hello,

I need to make a query that will select items that have a date matching
the current month for example.

For June this means that any day between 2000-06-01 and 2000-06-30 are
ok. To do that I need a wildcard like "%" to replace the actual day in
the date field.

Ex.:  select * from item where date = '2000-06-%%';

but that doesn't work... What is the right way?

Thanks!
