you have enlosed start date with single quote causing it to become string  use backtick instead  SELECT   FROM  la schedule  WHERE  start date   gt   2012-11-18      SQLFiddle Demo

In your statement  you are comparing a string called start date with the time   If start date is a column  it should either be       SELECT   FROM  la schedule  WHERE start date   2012-11-18        no apostrophe  or    SELECT   FROM  la schedule  WHERE  start date    2012-11-18       with backticks      Hope this helps

Adding this since this was not mentioned  SELECT   FROM  la schedule  WHERE date start date   gt  date  2012-11-18    Because that s what actually works for me  Adding date   function on both comparison values
