I would like to get some statistic data about my members. I have column
named YYYY with int(4) where some members have entered their year of
birth. Now, I would like to see how many of them are, for example, age
40. So I have to serach for year 1965.:
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable WHERE YYYY="1965")
but douing so, I will need to make querys form 1940 (my oldest member)
to 1991 (my youngest member). and that is a lot of "questions"...

Is there any way to made such query "simplier", i.e. faster?

something like... don't know, missing knowlage about mysql possibilites
need a sort of "array like query"...

anyone have any idea? (I haven't found mysql refernce manual of big
help. isn't that good as php on-line manual)

tnx in advance.
