title: How to use greater than operator with date?
body: <p>No idea what is going on here.  Here is the query, right from phpMyAdmin:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM `la_schedule` WHERE 'start_date' &gt;'2012-11-18';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I consistently get all records in the table returned, including those with start date 2012-11-01.  What gives?</p>
