mysql query to find that time is between from and to time - mysql

Question

I have a from_time an to_time in my table.
one of the record is from_time: 19:00:00 and to_time: 01:30:00
if user select 12:30 AM or 11:00 PM.
how do i correctly find that it is between from_time and to_time.
Mysql query i tried:
SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE '19:00:00' >= from_time and '19:00:00' <= to_time
is not working.

Answer 1

You used value instead of column name
You can use as below query. You can change value as per your need.
Change Time value as per your need first.
First Option with Where
SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE from_time >= '00:00:00' and to_time <= '23:59:59'
Second option is between
SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE from_time between '00:00:00' and '23:59:59'

Answer 2

Your question does not show where the selected time is coming from. Is it in a column, is it something that the user sets in the SQL or is it sent through code?
If the time is set in the SQL then the way to do this is as follows:
SET #mytime := '19:00:00';
SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE CAST(#mytime AS TIME) BETWEEN from_time AND to_time;
where #mytime is the user set variable and assuming that from_time and to_time are time format.
My test table for the above was as follows:
CREATE TABLE `timetest` (
`id` int(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`from_time` time DEFAULT NULL,
`to_time` time DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
with test data as:
INSERT INTO `timetest` (`id`, `from_time`, `to_time`) VALUES
(1, '09:00:00', '11:00:00'),
(2, '06:30:00', '14:00:00'),
(3, '14:29:10', '16:12:18'),
(4, '09:11:17', '23:00:01'),
(5, '18:00:00', '23:59:59'),
(6, '01:12:00', '11:59:44');

Answer 3

For to_times which go over midnight you could add 24hours and then test. For example
drop table if exists t;
create table t(from_time time, to_time time);
insert into t values
('18:00:00','20:00:00'),
('18:00:00','01:00:00'),
('16:00:00','18:00:00');
select from_time,to_time,
case when '19:00:00' between
from_time and
if(to_time < from_time,
addtime(to_time,'24:00:00'),
to_time)
then 'true'
else 'false'
end as truefalse
from t;
+-----------+----------+-----------+
| from_time | to_time | truefalse |
+-----------+----------+-----------+
| 18:00:00 | 20:00:00 | true |
| 18:00:00 | 01:00:00 | true |
| 16:00:00 | 18:00:00 | false |
