    TIP: When inserting dates, use the YYYY-MM-DD format, where Ys are the year, Ms the month, and Ds the day. If you don't, MySQL will not properly store the information.

    Also, treat the date like text by surrounding it with quote marks. Otherwise, MySQL may think that 2002-01-08 is 2002 minus 1 minus 8, or 1993.

    A command to insert a date would look like this:

    INSERT INTO birthdays (name, birthday) VALUES ('Kevin', '1975-11-18');
