Answer 2

You can use DATE_FORMAT with %w or %W:

DATE_FORMAT('2012-12-27', '%w');

• %W = Weekday name (Sunday..Saturday)
• %w = Day of the week (0=Sunday..6=Saturday)

Use EXTRACT() function

select  
     EXTRACT(YEAR FROM BirthDate), 
     EXTRACT(MONTH FROM BirthDate), 
     EXTRACT(DAY FROM BirthDate) 
from t

Answer 4

Try this:

SELECT DAYNAME('2012-12-27');
