How do I retrieve data for the previous month in SQL - mysql

I want to get data for the dates between 2015-05-01 and 2015-06-01 using SQL.
Please help me with the query.
The query I used is:
select *,count(id) as multiple_visitors
from table1
where id=123
and (date(server_time) between (CURDATE() - INTERVAL 31 DAY) AND CURDATE())
group by user_id having count(id)>1


You can do this with month() and year():
where month(server_time) = month(curdate() - interval 1 month) and
year(server_time) = year(curdate() - interval 1 month)
However, I recommend a slightly more complex expression:
where server_time >= date_sub(date_sub(curdate(), interval - day(curdate()) + 1 day), interval 1 month) and
server_time < date_sub(curdate(), interval - day(curdate()) + 1 day)
The advantage is that there are no functions on server_time, so the database engine can use an index, if appropriate.
As a note: the expression date_sub(curdate(), interval - day(curdate()) + 1 day) gets midnight on the first day of the month.


Try using "WHERE" with MONTH(date).
Like this:
SELECT * FROM Table
WHERE MONTH(date) = 1

SQL comparing date

I want to compare the current date with a date from a database table.
This code:
DATE_FORMAT(dt,'%y-%m')
gives me a date like this 2020-10
and i want that this code:
DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL - 1 month)
gets date like 2020-10 not 2020-10-12(some day)
Here is the whole sql query:
select count(*)
from app_tickets t
where t.status= 3
and DATE_FORMAT(dt,'%y-%m')=DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL - 1 month)
Thanks for help:)

This can make use of indexes
select count(*)
from app_tickets t
where t.status = 3
and t.dt >= DATE_FORMAT(CURRENT_DATE - interval 1 month ,'%Y-%m-01')
and t.dt < DATE_FORMAT(CURRENT_DATE ,'%Y-%m-01')

Get records from last one year upto last date of previous month in mysql

I am trying to get records from last one year and upto last date of provious month i.e. not including the current month. Here's my query:
SELECT `customer_id`, `customer_name`, `customer_date`
FROM `customers`
WHERE DATE(`customer_date`) <= (CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
AND DATE(customer_date) >= (CURDATE() - INTERVAL 12 MONTH)
This query fetches records from 1 May, 2018 to 8 April 2019.
INTERVAL 1 MONTH fetches records 30 days ago. What I need to do something here?
I want to exclude current month records, so query should return records upto 30 April 2019. How do we do that?

You must correctly calculate the first and last days of range with help LAST_DAY() function. For example:
Calculate the first day of the range
SELECT LAST_DAY(CURDATE() - INTERVAL 13 MONTH) + INTERVAL 1 DAY
Output:
2018-05-01
Calculate last day of the range
SELECT LAST_DAY(CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
Output:
2019-04-30
The full query might look like:
SELECT `customer_id`, `customer_name`, `customer_date`
FROM `customers`
WHERE `customer_date` >= LAST_DAY(CURDATE() - INTERVAL 13 MONTH) + INTERVAL 1 DAY
AND `customer_date` <= SELECT LAST_DAY(CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)

To get data up to the previous month:
where customer_date < curdate() + interval (1 - day(curdate()) day
Why? First note that there is no function call on the customer_date. So, this expression is index-compatible and can use an index.
Second, this structure works both for dates and date/times. That is very handy, because it may not always be obvious if a column has a time component (people are not very good about naming columns to capture this information).
You claim that the "12 months" ago portion works. That doesn't look correct to me. For the complete logic:
where customer_date < curdate() + interval (1 - day(curdate()) day and
customer_date >= (curdate() + interval (1 - day(curdate()) day) - interval 1 year)

SELECT `customer_id`, `customer_name`, `customer_date` FROM `customers` WHERE
MONTH(`customer_date`) <= (CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH) AND
MONTH(customer_date) >= (CURDATE() - INTERVAL 12 MONTH)
hope this help

Better way to write a difference based date queries

I'm doing a review of existing code and have found the following SQL query which is used to get a selection of records last month.
Is there a more concise way of writing SQL to do what this date based clause does in MySQL?
SELECT foo
FROM some_table
WHERE some_date
BETWEEN
DATE_FORMAT(LAST_DAY((NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH) - INTERVAL 1 SECOND), '%Y-%m-01 00:00:00')
AND
DATE_FORMAT(LAST_DAY((NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH) - INTERVAL 1 SECOND), '%Y-%m-%d 23:59:59')
It works, but I just twitch a little every time I see it.
Can anyone else write it better?
Thank you in advance.

There's no need to format the dates, they default to YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00.
This is a little bit simpler:
SELECT foo
FROM some_table
WHERE some_date >= LAST_DAY(CURDATE() - INTERVAL 2 MONTH) + INTERVAL 1 DAY
AND some_date < LAST_DAY(CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH) + INTERVAL 1 DAY
So if CURDATE() is today, 2019-02-06, then:
- INTERVAL 2 MONTH is 2018-12-06
LAST_DAY() of that date is 2018-12-31
+ INTERVAL 1 DAY is 2019-01-01
Then the upper bound is:
- INTERVAL 1 MONTH is 2019-1-06
LAST_DAY() of that date is 2019-1-31
+ INTERVAL 1 DAY is 2019-02-01
The dates should be strictly less than 2019-02-01.
Using less than accounts for timestamps in the last second of the month, between 23:59:59.000 and 23:59:59.999.

Get number of entries per multiple date intervals using single query

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `table` WHERE `datetime` > SUBDATE(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
This will get number of entries during last day. But is it possible to get number of entries for multiple intervals without having to send variation of this query multiple times (INTERVAL 1 DAY, INTERVAL 1 WEEK, INTERVAL 1 MONTH, ...)?

You need CASE WHEN expression to accomplish that.
SELECT
COUNT(CASE WHEN DATE(`datetime`) >= CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 DAY AND DATE(`datetime`) < CURDATE() THEN 1 END) AS lastDay,
COUNT(CASE WHEN DATE(`datetime`) >= CURDATE() - INTERVAL 7 DAY AND DATE(`datetime`) < CURDATE() THEN 1 END ) AS lastSevenDays,
COUNT(*) AS lastThirtyDays
FROM `table`
WHERE
DATE(`datetime`) >= CURDATE() - INTERVAL 30 DAY
How to use CASE WHEN expression
Note: If your requirement is to get result of last day, last 7 days and last 30 days then go with this query.
EDIT:
If you have an index on datetime field then the above query will fail to use that index. Please use the query given below in order to utilize the index on datetime.
SELECT
COUNT(CASE WHEN DATE(`datetime`) >= CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 DAY AND DATE(`datetime`) < CURDATE() THEN 1 END) AS lastDay,
COUNT(CASE WHEN DATE(`datetime`) >= CURDATE() - INTERVAL 7 DAY AND DATE(`datetime`) < CURDATE() THEN 1 END ) AS lastSevenDays,
COUNT(*) AS lastThirtyDays
FROM `table`
WHERE
`datetime` >= (NOW() - INTERVAL 30 DAY - INTERVAL HOUR(NOW()) HOUR - INTERVAL MINUTE(NOW()) MINUTE - INTERVAL SECOND(NOW()) SECOND)

Query to get all rows from previous month

I need to select all rows in my database that were created last month.
For example, if the current month is January, then I want to return all rows that were created in December, if the month is February, then I want to return all rows that were created in January. I have a date_created column in my database that lists the date created in this format: 2007-06-05 14:50:17.

SELECT * FROM table
WHERE YEAR(date_created) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
AND MONTH(date_created) = MONTH(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)

Here's another alternative. Assuming you have an indexed DATE or DATETIME type field, this should use the index as the formatted dates will be type converted before the index is used. You should then see a range query rather than an index query when viewed with EXPLAIN.
SELECT
*
FROM
table
WHERE
date_created >= DATE_FORMAT( CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH, '%Y/%m/01' )
AND
date_created < DATE_FORMAT( CURRENT_DATE, '%Y/%m/01' )

If there are no future dates ...
SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE date_created > (NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH);
Tested.

Alternatively to hobodave's answer
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE YEAR(date_created) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
AND MONTH(date_created) = MONTH(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
You could achieve the same with EXTRACT, using YEAR_MONTH as unit, thus you wouldn't need the AND, like so:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM date_created) = EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM CURDATE() - INTERVAL
1 MONTH)

SELECT *
FROM yourtable
where DATE_FORMAT(date_created, '%Y-%m') = date_format(DATE_SUB(curdate(), INTERVAL 1 month),'%Y-%m')
This should return all the records from the previous calendar month, as opposed to the records for the last 30 or 31 days.

Even though the answer for this question has been selected already, however, I believe the simplest query will be
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE
date_created BETWEEN (CURRENT_DATE() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH) AND CURRENT_DATE();

WHERE created_date >= DATE_ADD(LAST_DAY(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 2 MONTH)), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
AND created_date <= DATE_ADD(LAST_DAY(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)), INTERVAL 0 DAY)
This worked for me (Selects all records created from last month, regardless of the day you run the query this month)

Alternative with single condition
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE YEAR(date_created) * 12 + MONTH(date_created)
= YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) * 12 + MONTH(CURRENT_DATE) - 1

select fields FROM table
WHERE date_created LIKE concat(LEFT(DATE_SUB(NOW(), interval 1 month),7),'%');
this one will be able to take advantage of an index if your date_created is indexed, because it doesn't apply any transformation function to the field value.

Here is the query to get the records of the last month:
SELECT *
FROM `tablename`
WHERE `datefiled`
BETWEEN DATE_SUB( DATE( NOW( ) ) , INTERVAL 1
MONTH )
AND
LAST_DAY( DATE_SUB( DATE( NOW( ) ) , INTERVAL 1
MONTH ) )

if you want to get orders from last month, you can try using
WHERE MONTH(order_date) = MONTH(CURRENT_DATE()) -1

One more way to do this in:
MYSQL
select * from <table_name> where date_created >= DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL -30 DAY);

SELECT * FROM table
WHERE YEAR(date_created) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
AND MONTH(date_created) = MONTH(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
