Solution 1

Solution 1:
Try to group both conditions using brackets:

SQL

SELECT *
FROM personinfo
WHERE (effdate between '12/01/2013' and '12/21/2013') and (workstatus in ('HIRED','REASGD'))
ORDER BY surname ASC;

Solution 2:
Use subquery:

SQL

SELECT *
FROM (
    SELECT *
    FROM personinfo
    WHERE (effdate between '12/01/2013' and '12/21/2013')
    ) AS T
WHERE (workstatus in ('HIRED','REASGD'))
ORDER BY surname ASC;

Try to use STR_TO_DATE()[^] function

Alright my friend,

Try to do this

SELECT * FROM personinfo WHERE (effdate BETWEEN '2013-12-01' AND '2013-12-21') AND (workstatus in ('HIRED', 'REASGD')) ORDER BY surname ASC

In the above code, I assumed that :

1. effdate has a data type of DATE.

2. I used format for date to input yyyy-mm-dd (Which is what phpmyadmin uses for input date in a column

Hope that it will help solve your problem. Do rate this answer if it helped or mark as solved :)
