[RESOLVED] delete record by date year

[big-dog]

Im trying to use
$query = 'DELETE FROM Venues WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 1 DAY) >= Expires';
to delete records that expire on a certain date useing above seems to delete all records. My dates are in DB as 01/01/2015 so since it is not 01/01/20015 why is it deleteing all records

what data type is "Expires"? your code suggest that you are using mySQL and furthermore suggests that you are using a string type for your dates.

I had the date field text changed it to date works now
