Grouping query entries by DATE?

Apr 08.2011

Hey everyone.

I’ve got a MySQL database and 2 columns (DATETIME, and Comment). The DATETIME’s are stored in my database like this:

[CODE]2011-04-08 22:09:25[/CODE]

What I am trying to do when I query the database is to group all of the entries together that were made on the same DATE. How do I do this?

@OctoberWindApr 08.2011 — Maybe I don't quite understand what you're trying to do, but
[code=php]
SELECT DATETIME, Comment FROM table GROUP BY DATETIME
[/code]

will sort them by date. You can also call your column as [B]DATE(DATETIME)[/B], which will basically strip out the "time" portion, leaving just the date.

@GreyfishauthorApr 08.2011 — My original post was a little confusing.

So I queried the database and it returns this information: http://i56.tinypic.com/voyf4k.png

You'll notice that for each row there is a DATE and a comment. So let's say there a couple entries in my database that the have DATES "2011-04-08" and then there are some rows that the have DATE "2011-04-07" and then "2011-04-05", etc.

I would like to be able to separate all of the entries by DATE when I query the database, so that way it will look like this: http://i51.tinypic.com/15o8kex.png
