While it was discussed in the comments  there isn t an answer containing it yet  so it can be easy to miss  DATE FORMAT works really well and is flexible to handle many different patterns   DATE FORMAT date   Y m     To put it in a query   SELECT DATE FORMAT test date   Y m   AS date FROM test table

There should also be a YEAR     As for comparing  you could compare dates that are the first days of those years and months  or you could convert the year month pair into a number suitable for comparison  i e  bigger   later    Exercise left to the reader  For hints  read about the ISO date format    Or you could use multiple comparisons  i e  years first  then months

You may want to check out the mySQL docs in regard to the date functions  http   dev mysql com doc refman 5 5 en date-and-time-functions html  There is a YEAR   function just as there is a MONTH   function  If you re doing a comparison though is there a reason to chop up the date  Are you truly interested in ignoring day based differences and if so is this how you want to do it
