hi.

how can i convert string format to datetime:

the string is formatted like : December 01, 2010 (which is another table) tblTransactions
and the datetime column format is : 2010-12-01 (another table) tblBilling

how can i search my string format to my table which matches the column (datetime field).

Thank You.

SELECT somefield FROM tblTransactions WHERE somedatetimecolumn = STR_TO_DATE('$stringdate','%M %d, %Y');

Assuming you're using PHP - $stringdate and MySQL. You don't give much info, do you?
