I"m not very sure about it, but you could create 1 more column and seperate date and time.

It's easier to select using seperated date and time.
[code]SELECT * FROM $table WHERE date ='2006-06-24'[/code]
Where $table is the table..

if you have a sql question, just cross your fingers and pray that barand will descend upon your thread.

I swear he wrote the sql language [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/laugh.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":laugh:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"laugh.gif\" /]

I wish I had, but that honour goes to Codd's team at IBM in 1979 and later taken up by the Oracle lot too. I've only been using it since about 1985, and the MySQL version for about 4 years.

Who's genius? I think both are better than moi!
