Hello Everyone,

I have an Interbase database which stores Contacts, and one of the fields is 
the Birthdate, of type TIMESTAMP.  I need to be able to query all Contacts 
with birthdates in a particular season (Spring, Fall, Winter, Summer)

Since the years of the birthdates vary, I cannot do a simple  'where date > 
X and date < X'.   Is there a way where I can ignore the Year, and just 
query where Birthdate's Month/Date is of certain values?

If this cannot be done, I will add a field called 'Birth Month' and 'Birth 
Date', but it seems to be cleaner if I don't add this redundant data.

Thanks in advance,
- Jason
