I don't think you want DAYOFMONTH. Otherwise if today is July 24th, then a date column with June 24th, or any 24th, will come up as Today. Something like this will work, though... SELECT IF(TO_DAYS(CURDATE()) = TO_DAYS(date_column),'Today',IF(TO_DAYS(CURDATE())-1 = TO_DAYS(date_column),'Yesterday',date_column)) FROM your_table; Hope that helps... ---John Holmes... > Julio Nobrega > Pode acessar: > http://www.inerciasensorial.com.br > > > "Alexander Ross" <alexross@bleen.net> escreveu na mensagem > news:20020724203928.45708.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > > I have a column in one of my mysql tables which holds the date & time > that > > the record was inserted.
