compare field with current date
I'm trying to compare a field birth_date which I have converted to just show the month and day as DATE_FORMAT(`birth_date`,'%m/%d') with the current date to only return the records where their birthdate = the current day I tried the following but didn't work
if DATE_FORMAT(`birth_date`,'%m/%d') = DATE_FORMAT(CURRENT_DATE(), '%m/%d') THEN 'Yes' else 'No'
any help would be appreciated.

Looks basically ok to me. Maybe try a case statement instead.
CASEWHEN
DATE_FORMAT(`birth_date`,'%m/%d') = DATE_FORMAT(CURRENT_DATE(), '%m/%d')
THEN 'Yes'
ELSE 'No'
END
If that doesn't work, replace the date logic with something like
month(`birth_date`) = month(current_date()) and dayofmonth(`birth_date`) = dayofmonth(current_date())

You'll want to use a CASE WHEN statement like this:
CASE WHEN DATE_FORMAT(`birth_date`,'%m/%d') = DATE_FORMAT(CURRENT_DATE(), '%m/%d') THEN 'Yes' else 'No' END
Give that a shot and let me know if you need anything else,
