my friends,
Currently, I was stuck at the query string to compare the date in MySQL with indexing.
created_at type in table is TimeSTAMP and the value is time string. index_name = created_ato on the same table.
If I tried with created_at = '2020-12-21' then it can use the index but the value is empty cause the created_at is storing at the datetime value.
If I tried with date(created_at) = '2020-12-21' then it can return the data but the index can not apply, so the time to response so slow and got timeout.
Can anyone know about it and give me some advice on how to it fix it?
Many thanks?
What about using:
created_at BETWEEN '2020-12-21 00:00:00' AND '2020-12-21 23:59:59.999'
or perhaps:
created_at >= '2020-12-21' AND created_at < '2020-12-21' + INTERVAL 1 DAY

I have a database of articles that has the date the article was published as a UNIX timestamp that is saved as a varchar value. For example, one article's datePublished value is 1667865600000 (varchar).
I'm querying the database to return articles with a certain keyword in it from the last 90 days. But I don't think my current approach is successfully querying the database for the 'datePublished' value, since my date published value is a varchar and not a date value. However, I can't verify this because it's not letting me know if ('datePublished' > DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 90 DAY)) is actually doing anything or not. I do think it is ordering by datePublished DESC successfully, though.
How do I properly query the database's datePublished value as a varchar UNIX timestamp?
Here is my query
SELECT *
FROM news
WHERE
(MATCH(snippet) AGAINST("example" IN BOOLEAN MODE))
AND ('datePublished' > DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 90 DAY))
ORDER BY datePublished DESC LIMIT 100
You can filter directly against the Unix timestamp:
datePublished > unix_timestamp(now() - interval 90 day)
That should be good enough for MySQL to implicitly cast the string to a number. But if that's not happening, then we can force it like so:
datePublished + 0 > unix_timestamp(now() - interval 90 day)
Note that I fixed your original query, where you had the column name surrounded with single quotes ; this trivial typo causes the literal column name to be used as fixed value for the whole column...
I am trying to select everything from my table with today's date. But I found that that date column is in unix time stamp. So, how do I select everything with today's date? or for example only yesterday's ? If it was normal date instead of unix time it would be easy, but... here is what I have put for my query so far..
$ann_renewal_query = "SELECT * FROM annual_renewal WHERE due_date '%$today%' order BY due_date ASC";
You just need to convert the values to the unix timestamp version. The best way is to convert the current time to Unix timestamp:
where due_date >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP(curdate()) and
due_date < UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date_add(curdate(), interval 1 day)
This version of the query allows it to take advantage of an index on due_date.
In a SQL statement, how do I compare a date saved as TIMESTAMP with a date in YYYY-MM-DD format?
Ex.: SELECT * FROM table WHERE timestamp = '2012-05-25'
I want this query returns all rows having timestamp in the specified day, but it returns only rows having midnight timestamp.
thanks
You can use the DATE() function to extract the date portion of the timestamp:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE DATE(timestamp) = '2012-05-25'
Though, if you have an index on the timestamp column, this would be faster because it could utilize an index on the timestamp column if you have one:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE timestamp BETWEEN '2012-05-25 00:00:00' AND '2012-05-25 23:59:59'
As suggested by some, by using DATE(timestamp) you are applying manipulation to the column and therefore you cannot rely on the index ordering.
However, using BETWEEN would only be reliable if you include the milliseconds. In the example timestamp BETWEEN '2012-05-05 00:00:00' AND '2012-05-05 23:59:59' you exclude records with a timestamp between 2012-05-05 23:59:59.001 and 2012-05-05 23:59:59.999. However, even this method has some problems, because of the datatypes precision. Occasionally 999 milliseconds is rounded up.
The best thing to do is:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE date>='2012-05-05' AND date<'2012-05-06'
WHERE cast(timestamp as date) = '2012-05-05'
SELECT * FROM table WHERE timestamp >= '2012-05-05 00:00:00'
AND timestamp <= '2012-05-05 23:59:59'
Use a conversion function of MYSQL :
SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(timestamp) = '2012-05-05'
This should work
As I was researching this I thought it would be nice to modify the BETWEEN solution to show an example for a particular non-static/string date, but rather a variable date, or today's such as CURRENT_DATE(). This WILL use the index on the log_timestamp column.
SELECT *
FROM some_table
WHERE
log_timestamp
BETWEEN
timestamp(CURRENT_DATE())
AND # Adds 23.9999999 HRS of seconds to the current date
timestamp(DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL '86399.999999' SECOND_MICROSECOND));
I did the seconds/microseconds to avoid the 12AM case on the next day. However, you could also do `INTERVAL '1 DAY' via comparison operators for a more reader-friendly non-BETWEEN approach:
SELECT *
FROM some_table
WHERE
log_timestamp >= timestamp(CURRENT_DATE()) AND
log_timestamp < timestamp(DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY));
Both of these approaches will use the index and should perform MUCH faster. Both seem to be equally as fast.
SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(timestamp) = '2012-05-25'
It will work but not used index on "timestamp" column if you have any because of DATE function. below query used index and give better performance
SELECT * FROM table WHERE timestamp >= '2012-05-05 00:00:00'
AND timestamp <= '2012-05-05 23:59:59'
OR
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE timestamp >= '2012-05-05' AND timestamp < '2012-05-06'
Try running these to check stats
explain SELECT * FROM table
WHERE DATE(timestamp) = '2012-05-25'
explain SELECT * FROM table WHERE timestamp >= '2012-05-05 00:00:00'
AND timestamp <= '2012-05-05 23:59:59'
In case you are using SQL parameters to run the query then this would be helpful
SELECT * FROM table WHERE timestamp between concat(date(?), ' ', '00:00:00') and concat(date(?), ' ', '23:59:59')
When I read your question, I thought your were on Oracle DB until I saw the tag 'MySQL'. Anyway, for people working with Oracle here is the way:
SELECT *
FROM table
where timestamp = to_timestamp('21.08.2017 09:31:57', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss');
Use
SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(2012-05-05 00:00:00) = '2012-05-05'

For people coming from nodejs and expressjs
getDailyIssueOperations(dateName, date, status) {
const queryText = `
select count(*) as total from issues
where date(${dateName})='${date}' and status='${status}';

},
in case date and column name are variables please find the implementation usefull
I have the following query:
SELECT * FROM incomings WHERE date >= '2011-04-01%' AND date <= '2011-04-29%'
And it shows results from 01-04 to 28-04. This may be a weird question but, it I think it should show results from 29-04 too, right?
What's wrong?
Your syntax is odd. That query would normally be written:
SELECT * FROM incomings WHERE date >= '2011-04-01' AND date <= '2011-04-29'
I think from the way that you're trying to query the data that your date column is actually a DATETIME or TIMESTAMP column. If that's the case then '2011-04-29%' will be being cast to '2011-04-29 00:00:00'
I would recommend you use this SQL instead:
SELECT * FROM incomings WHERE date >= '2011-04-01' AND date < '2011-04-30'
What is the purpose of the "%" here (besides making the date invalid) ?
If "date" is of type DATETIME, then :
'2011-04-29 00:00:00' is <= to '2011-04-29'
'2011-04-29 00:00:01' is not <= to '2011-04-29'
You don't need the leading %, the date without hours is interpreted as midnight (or the very start) of given date.
My table is using a datetime (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) and i need to display today's entries.
my code is only :
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE date = '$date'
ORDER BY score DESC
with
$date = date("Y-m-d");
well, as expected it doesnt work :| you guys have a solution here ?
Following from Pascal Martin, you could extract the date part from the date+time field:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(date) = '2009-12-19'
Source: MySQL - Date and Time Functions
Be aware however, that this query will not use an index on your date+time field, if you will be having one. (Stack Overflow: How does one create an index on the date part of DATETIME field in MySql)
Your date is "2009-12-19" (or something like that, depending on the day), which is interpreted as "2009-12-19 00:00:00".
In your database, you probably don't have any date that's exactly equal to that one, by the second : your dates are like "2009-12-19 12:15:32".
A solution is to compare like this :
select *
from table
where date >= '2009-12-19'
and date < '2009-12-20'
Which will be interpreted as :
select *
from table
where date >= '2009-12-19 00:00:00'
and date < '2009-12-20 00:00:00'
And, if you don't want to do the math to get the date of the following date, you can use the adddate function :
select *
from table
where date >= '2009-12-19'
and date < adddate('2009-12-19', interval 1 day)
So, in your case, something like this should do the trick :
select *
from table
where date >= '$date'
and date < adddate('$date', interval 1 day)
order by score desc
You probably want to format the data when you select it:
SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(date, '%Y-%m-%d') AS dateformat FROM table
WHERE dateformat = '$date' ORDER BY score DESC
You are comparing datetime and date expression, that is why its not working. Use Date() method to return the date part from datetime and then do the comparison. WHERE DATE(date) = '$date' should do. You might have to use aliases to handle this name collision.
