Mysql在比较两种不同数据类型时,第一步是将他们转化为同一种类型,然后在比较。那么Date和String在比较的时候,一定是把String转化为Date吗?答案是Yes. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/type-conversion.html If one of the arguments is a TIMESTAMP or DATETIME column and the other argument is a constant, the constant is converted to a timestamp before the comparison is performed.

其中有这样一段话:invalid dates such as '2004-04-31' are converted to '0000-00-00' and a warning is generated. With strict mode enabled, invalid dates generate an error.

简单举个例子,如果是用字符串比较,"2004-04-31"这个string应该比2004-01-01这个date来得大,但是4-31是一个invalid的日期(4月是小月),会被转化成"0000-00-00",所以2004-01-01 (日期) > "2014-04-31"。
