I'm not very good at SQL but I think I found what you want. I remember reading about this when I was curious on how SQL works and found the a short tutorial at W3Schools.

It would help if you at least showed us the database structure because fields are in tables and tables are in databases then you would know how to write a query to retrieve the table data (one particular field in this case) and after obtaining that data running a PHP script which would filter out the wanted or unwanted data here is and example of just a small table

 

CREATE TABLE `authors` (  `aid` varchar(25) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL default '',  `name` varchar(50) collate latin1_general_ci default NULL,  `url` varchar(255) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL default '',  `email` varchar(255) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL default '',  `pwd` varchar(40) collate latin1_general_ci default NULL,  `counter` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',  `radminsuper` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',  `admlanguage` varchar(30) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL default '',  PRIMARY KEY  (`aid`),  KEY `aid` (`aid`)) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci;

As you can see above all in single quotes are fields within a table called authors so from the limited information you gave it would be almost impossible to help someone answer your question.

Try this:

 

Select * from orders Where orderdate >='19970805' and orderdate <

dateadd(dd,1,'19970805')

 

or this methods from sql:

 

DateTime

SamallDateTime

Have you tried the below:

SELECT birth FROM "tablename" WHERE birth BETWEEN 2005/02/01 AND 2005/03/15

You will notice that I have rearranged the dates because MySQL expects the dates to be entered YYYY-MM-DD and from the post it look like you had expressed it as Feburary the first 2005 and March the 15th 2005.

So since that is how MySql stores dates as shown above then that would be how you have to query it to get the response you would want.

Also I used "tablename" since I have no clue as to what table the field birth would be in, but you should know what to substitute for it.
