In any table? Well then, lets start with a short discussion about database normalization. If you have multiple tables that contain the same information then you need to do a search on "Database Normalization". The short version of what you will read is that all like data should go in only one place.

SELECT * FROM YourTableName WHERE Gender = 'Male'

You have the right keyword "BETWEEN" however most databases include the year in date fields. This example is from an Access database (2k).

SELECT tblDateTest.*
FROM tblDateTest
WHERE month([tblDateTest].[dDate])=1 And day([ddate]) Between 2 And 4;

Good Luck
