Hi
There are two aspects to dates, and your questions include parts of both.
When MySql stores dates you have a choice of column types
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/DATETIME.html
has the details
If you just need to store dates then the DATE type will suit your needs. You
just specify it

hi
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date_field ,%M %D %Y)
FROM table1
ORDER BY date_field
will order in true chronological order

One more question...
Suppose you have a list of dates in the proper format,
like this:
2004-02-04
2003-11-02
and you encounter a date with only the month and year,
like May 2002. How would you insert that, something
like this?:
2004-02-04
2003-11-02
2002-05---

Not. Prompt the user for a full date.

I haven't worked with dates yet and wondered if
someone could give me an overview in plain English.
At the moment, I'm working on a table with a column of
dates in this format:
March 2, 2003
July 7, 2004
If I understand the Manual, the correct format
