WHERE Clause to find all records in a specific month

I think the function you’re looking for is MONTH(date). You’ll probably want to use ‘YEAR’ too.

Let’s assume you have a table named things that looks something like this:

id happend_at
-- ----------------
1  2009-01-01 12:08
2  2009-02-01 12:00
3  2009-01-12 09:40
4  2009-01-29 17:55

And let’s say you want to execute to find all the records that have a happened_at during the month 2009/01 (January 2009). The SQL query would be:

SELECT id FROM things 
   WHERE MONTH(happened_at) = 1 AND YEAR(happened_at) = 2009

Which would return:

id
---
1
3
4
