                                            | Hello Developers,I am having a query.I have a table named as astrology: -------------------------------------ID | Zodiac | Date_From | Date_to-------------------------------------1 | Aries  | 21/03/1900 | 20/04/19002 | Taurus | 21/04/1900 | 21/05/19003 | Gemini | 22/05/1900 | 21/06/1900-------------------------------------You will see, I had kept year '1900' in all the Date_From & Date_to column as I am not concern of the year.Now If someone want to search some particular date, say 26/03/1985; then the query should only search between date & month between Date_From & Date_to, ignoring year and give me result: -------------------------------------ID | Zodiac | Date_From | Date_to-------------------------------------1 | Aries  | 21/03/1900 | 20/04/1900-------------------------------------Hope I can make you understand my problem.Please help me!Daipayan |  |

                                          | We need to know the datatypes of Date_From and Date_to in your table and also we need to know how the searchdate is given to the query. No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.
