    SELECT tag_id FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_post2cat ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.
   post_id) INNER JOIN ON (wp_posts.ID = .post_id) WHERE post_date > 0 AND category_id
   <> 0 AND ID = 931 ORDER By post_date DESC
 * WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual

   AND p2c.category_id <> 0 AND p.post_date_gmt < ‘2005-12-28 05:38:03’ ‘ at line
   5]
    SELECT DISTINCT MONTH(p.post_date) AS `month` FROM wp_posts p INNER JOIN 
   wp_post2cat p2c ON (p.ID = p2c.post_id ) WHERE YEAR(p.post_date) = AND p2c.category_id
