SQL: How to select date by month and/or year

Hello,

how can I perform a selection of a date-field by any single subfield (day, month, year ...). I tried

select * from test_table where date_field like to_date('01', 'MM')

and some other combinations without success (i.e. "0 rows selected").

I checked the FAQs but didn't find helpful information.

Thanks ind advance.
