How to select from a given month without using between or >=?

Question

I have an array of all months in strings ie ['January', 'February',...etc]. I want to loop over this array and pass it to a SQL command that will get everything within that month. For example

SELECT * WHERE foodate='January'

will return all records from January 1st to January 31st.

Answer 1

Have you tried this?

select *from your_table where monthname(foodate)='January' ;

Answer 2

Is that foodate is varchar or date type?

If it's varchar you can do something like :

SELECT * WHERE foodate LIKE '%January%'

Or you can see here some response for date type
