you just haven't worked with sql enough to know the pain that separate year, month, day columns will bring you mentioned that you want 1/365th of the entries each day i'm betting that's not really what you want -- you probably want to pull all rows where the birthday corresponds to tomorrow, or something 1/365th of the entries is not the way to go about it oh, and do not listen to anyone who tells you to use unixtimes those are an abomination and *require* you to convert -- always!! -- in order to manipulate them, or even display them!! rudy ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [email protected] To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
