Option 1: Make a second column of DATETIME and "UPDATE Table SET datetime_column = blob_column" and then drive on... Option 2: Use the CAST() function... "SELECT * FROM Table WHERE CAST(blob_column AS DATETIME) < NOW()" Option 3: "SELECT * FROM Table WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(blob_column) < UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW())" I'm sure there are more... ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
