You can try:
Select count(user) from table where date >= '2004-02-01' and date <
'2004-03-01'
This is the fastest if date is an indexed column and because the last
comparison operator is "<" and not "<=" you don't need to worry about the #
of days in the month. Clever, eh?<g>
If you want to summarize everyone by month you can also do a "group by" as in:
select Cust, count(Cust) as Count, Year(date) as Year, Month(date) as
Month from table group by Cust, Year, Month
