SQL statement to search and sort by month?

I have a field in my table on my MSSQL server with dates, formatted like:

09/09/2004

Is there a way I can just pull the items for the current month?

Something like

Select *
FROM table
Where date_field LIKE "today"

I will be using asp to query the DB if that helps

Thanks!

I'm sure there is something easier, but this should work:

select * from table where date_field like '09/09/%' and date_field like '%/2004'

Returns all records where the date_field's month and year equal the current month and year.

Code:

SELECT *
FROM TableName
WHERE Month(date_field) = Month(GetDate())
AND Year(date_field) = Year(GetDate())

Thanks to both for the responses.

Mem: Will this work fine if the date type on the server is "short date"?
