SQLFiddle Demo


per the mysql documentation, the DATE() function will pull the date part of a datetime feild, and TIME() for the time portion. so I would try:

select DATE(dateTimeField) as Date, TIME(dateTimeField) as Time, col2, col3, FROM Table1 ...

Try:

SELECT DATE(`date_time_field`) AS date_part, TIME(`date_time_field`) AS time_part FROM `your_table`
