title: SQL WHERE clause: sort by date for string
body: <p>I have a column in my database table that holds dates in the format (mmm-yy) Ex: Aug-13. I'm trying to select all dates after Jun-12. The problem is the column is a string so when I say WHERE column > 'Jun-12' it gives me values that are alphabetically greater than Jun-12 such as May-12, which is not what i want. Any thoughts on how to go about this?</p>
