That's nice but I've used this perticular select statement because
you can select the specific items you want X ago.
SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(timestamp, INTERVAL X Y) ...
So if you wanted the last month you can just do
SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(timestamp, INTERVAL 1 MONTH) ...
(timestamp is ofcourse the desired timestamp columb)
Hope you can do anything with this,
