Mysql在比較兩種不同資料類型時,第一步是將他們轉換為同一種類型,然後在比較。那麼Date和String在比較的時候,一定是把String轉換成Date嗎?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.

其中有這樣一段話: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.

簡單舉個例子,如果是用字串比較,"2004-04-31"這個string應該比2004-01-01這個date來得大,但是4-31是一個invalid的日期(4月是小月),會轉換成"0000-00-00",所以2004-01-01 (日期) > "2014-04-31"。
