Retrieving a date.

I have a test table with the ususal customer information in it along with a field for the date of birth. I'm trying to return records of any customers whose birthdates are the same day and month as the current date. Here's the query & result: mysql> SELECT * FROM Cinfo WHERE BirthDate = "date('m d')"; Empty set (0.00 sec) Here's what is returned with a global query: mysql> select * from Cinfo; +-----------+----------+-------------------+---------+-------+--------+--------------+--------------+--------------+------------+----+ | FirstName | LastName | Address | City | State | Zip | HomePhone | WorkPhone | CellPhone | BirthDate | id | +-----------+----------+-------------------+---------+-------+--------+--------------+--------------+--------------+------------+----+ | Joe | Blow | 1200 High St. #12 | St.Looy | UT | 844110 | 801-111-2299 | 801-111-3456 | 801-213-8956 | 1959-03-01 | 1 | | | | | | | | | | | | 2 | | | | | | | | | | | | 3 | | | | | | | | | | | | 4 | +-----------+----------+-------------------+---------+-------+--------+--------------+--------------+--------------+------------+----+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) I have a feeling it's the date format in the table. I tried making it a date field but just got the current date. What am I doing wrong? Off Topic, I saw something about resetting the auto-increment counter, but now I can't find reference to it. Can some kind soul enlighten me??? -- Ken Thompson, North West Antique Autos Payette, Idaho Email: ken@nwaa.com http://www.nwaa.com Sales and brokering of antique autos and parts.
