DATE_FORMAT(): msg#01096

db.mysql.general

Subject: DATE_FORMAT()

Hey,

I have a table with a 'birthdate' column, stored in DATE format, YYYY-MM-DD.
I want queries of this table to present the birthdate in MMMM DD, YYYY
format. I know how to do DATE_FORMAT('2002-06-29', '%M %e, %Y'), but I can't
figure out how to work that into my SQL. I've tried SELECT *,
DATE_FORMAT('birthdate', '%M %e, %y') FROM table, and variations thereof.
The manual doesn't really give good examples of how to do this...

Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks!

Jason Soza
