Needed to pull rows from a MySQL database, selecting by month, using the MONTH() and YEAR() functions to extract from the datetime stamp. Following returns all records for the month of January, 2007.
SELECT * FROM table WHERE MONTH(datetimefield) = '1' AND YEAR(datetimefield) = '2007'
Or for more detailed date range control, use the DATE() function to extract the date. Returns all records between two dates.
SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(datetimefield) BETWEEN 'YYYY-MM-DD' AND 'YYYY-MM-DD'
