I'm having a small issue where I try to select all the rows where the user birthday is today.
In my table, my data is something similar like this yyyy-mm-dd formated in a varchar.
My current request is :
SELECT * FROM rb_users WHERE user_birthday = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%m %d')
I know that the above will return nothing as I readed on the documentation. As I understand, I would need to do DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%Y-%m-%d') to make it work.
My question is : Is there anyway to ignore the year in this kind of strucutre or I should edit my field to unixformat like 1402012800?
As is it done right now, I will only get people when there birthdays are in 2015.

Because you have indicated that the column user_birthday is a varchar, you can use string function as follows. Also be sure to add the hyphen ("-") into your DATE_FORMAT:
SELECT * FROM rb_users WHERE RIGHT(user_birthday, 5) = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%m-%d')

I want to make a query where I get people birthday's in a current month, I have problems with MONTH() it does not work for me, the date format in the database is: 04/18/1990, and I want to compare if the month current date('m') is equal to the month of the database.
Any suggestions?
you can try this one
SELECT * FROM table_name where extract(month from BirthDate) = date("m");
where date("m") return current month and BirthDate is column name in which you have stored birthdate.
Try this
"select month(str_to_date(birthdate), '%Y/%m/%d')
from users
where month(str_to_date(birthdate), '%Y/%m/%d') = '$month'"
Here, i m assuming your delimeter is '/', Please set your delimeter according to your string date i.e 2013/05/04 or 2013,05,04 or 2013-05-04
could be you have some convertion issue try using
select month(str_to_date(my_col, '%m/%d/%Y'))
from my_table
where month(str_to_date(my_col, '%m/%d/%Y')) = month(now())
Date
9/25/2015
9/26/2015
9/27/2015
9/28/2015
9/29/2015
9/30/2015
10/1/2015
10/2/2015
10/3/2015
10/4/2015
10/5/2015
Can anyone help me in MySQL. I would like to select only date from 9/28/2015 to 10/4/2015.
Please take note, this date is in Text field.
Thank you.
you can use STR_TO_DATE(yourdatefield, '%m/%d/%Y') to convert text to date and you can later use between clause to restrict output data.
Convert first your dates using CONVERT, then use BETWEEN in your WHERE clause.
Try this..
SELECT * FROM TableName
WHERE Date BETWEEN CONVERT(DATE,'9/28/2015') AND CONVERT(DATE,'10/4/2015')
You can try like this:
WHERE `Date` BETWEEN CAST('9/28/2015' AS DATE) AND CAST('10/4/2015' AS DATE)
or
WHERE STR_TO_DATE(`Date`, '%m/%d/%Y') BETWEEN STR_TO_DATE('9/28/2015', '%m/%d/%Y') AND STR_TO_DATE('10/4/2015', '%m/%d/%Y')

Also try to avoid storing dates as Text. Instead use Date datatype to store dates.
Try this , in where clause used function str_to_date
SELECT `dateVal`,`id`
FROM `datecheck`
WHERE STR_TO_DATE(`dateVal`,'%m/%d/%Y') between STR_TO_DATE('9/28/2015',
'%m/%d/%Y') AND STR_TO_DATE('10/4/2015', '%m/%d/%Y')
I had the same type of issue but in my case the date stored also contains the time (also in a text field, for instance 2017-09-11 05:07:58 PM). This is for a wordpress site but I want to query the database directly, the date is in a meta_value.
To make this work I ended using a subbstring of the date, i am posting this in case it helps someone:
SELECT ID, display_name, user_email, meta_value FROM bfge_users, bfge_usermeta WHERE (bfge_users.ID = bfge_usermeta.user_id) AND meta_key ='user_login' AND CAST(SUBSTR(meta_value,1,POSITION(' ' IN meta_value)) AS DATE) between '2017-09-11' AND '2017-09-13';
use between, you can read more here:

i want to search on date field with year. i used Extract like this but it generates error.
SELECT * FROM (blog) WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR FROM blog_dt) = '2014'
you should do it like this:
SELECT * FROM (blog) WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR FROM blog_dt)= '2014' ;
or
SELECT * FROM (blog) WHERE YEAR(blog_dt)='2014';
It's much simpler:
SELECT * FROM (blog) WHERE YEAR(blog_dt) = 2014
See the manual:
YEAR
Returns the year for date, in the range 1000 to 9999, or 0 for the
“zero” date.
mysql> SELECT YEAR('1987-01-01');
-> 1987
You have an extra apostrophe after the EXTRACT() function, remove it and it should work (although #VMai's solution is much easier and more readable
You can use the Function DateFormat available in MYSQL.
select * FROM blog WHERE DATE_FORMAT(blog_dt,'%Y')='2014';

im having a problem where i cant think of a solution, maybe im having a bad table-structure or i just dont know enough about mysql select commands to think of a good solution. Maybe you can help me out:
So i got a table that has a Column with the Date-format (yyyy-mm-dd) i wanted to select all upcoming dates so i did:
SELECT * WHERE date >= now.
This worked kinda well but i also got "dates" where only the year is entered (2014-00-00) i also wanted to select these but "now" is already bigger so i made another column with the year only and if the month, date or both arent known i will use 0000-00-00 and the Column "year" now i could select like this:
SELECT * WHERE date >= now AND year >=now(year)
Now all entrys with 0000-00-00 wont be selected. If i use OR the entrys from last year will be shown.
So thats my problem, is there any way i can change my table so i can have entries with only the year or only year and month and of course all together? I already considered get rid of the date-format and use simple INT with seperated columns for year, month and date. But i think i will have the same problem.
Sometimes i just want to do a capsuled select like
SELECT *
WHERE (date >= now AND year >= now(year))
OR date == "0000-00-00" (i know that this doesnt work)
If I understood your problem correctly, you could use this request:
WHERE (date >= now OR year > now(year))
There is probably a simpler way though, that would preserve your design, like initializing at January 1st (01-01) instead of 00-00
I think you can use this code:
$_SESSION['month'] = //set here your selected month
$_SESSION['year'] = //set here your selected year
SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATEPART(m,date) >= '".$_SESSION['month']."' AND DATEPART(yyyy,year) >= '".$_SESSION['year']."' AND date <> '0000-00-00'
Change your table structure format. Actually just allow for that field to have null value when not entered. By default it will be null then. You shouldn't be storing 0000-00-00 as a value for Date type field. I would rather leave it as null , or as suggested in some of previous answers, initialize it with some other date. It would be much easier to manipulate with database then.
the problem is that half of you write is not MySQL and your database schema is terrible...
You have the following problems:
column data date does not have the date data type.
To fix it, you need to add a cast to the select statement eg. cast(datecolumn as date)
select * from table where cast(datecolumn as date) >= '2014-01-10';
the way to use now date is using the now function.
select now(), date(now());
result> 2014-01-10 11:11:36, 2014-01-10
select * from table where cast(datecolumn as date) >= date(now());
Because your datecolumn is not a date (2014-00-00 is not a valid date), you need to use string manipulation to extract the year.
select substring('2014-01-01', 1,4)
result> 2014
select * from table where substring(datecolumn, 1,4) = year(now());
The comparassion operator is = and not ==
the select statement syntax looks like this (pay attention because you are missing the table in your statement)
select * from [Table] where [column] = condition ...
You probably need or instead of ands, therefore your query should look like this:
select * from FooTable where
cast(datecolumn as date) >= date(now())
or substring(datecolumn, 1,4) >= year(now())
or datecolumn = '0000-00-00'
You should use something like phpmyAdmin or mySQL workbench to test your sql queries before try to use them on php, java or whatever is your programing language.
i need to retreive data from database with the condition from date to to date using between query,
my query is,
select * from Master where Date between '01-08-2013' and '30-08-2013'
but it retreive all data from the table...
i need only data with in that date..
i tried another one like,
select * from PatientMaster where EntryDate >= '01-08-2013' and EntryDate<= '30-08-2013'
how its posible..
whats wrong with my query...
sorry im very bad in english...
thank you in advance...
A date string has the syntax YYYY-MM-DD and not DD-MM-YYYY
select * from Master
where `Date` between '2013-08-01' and '2013-08-30'
for that you can use
select * from Master where Date >='01-08-2013' and dateadd(dd,1,'30-08-2013')
You have to convert your strings to dates. This page shows you how to do it in mysql, which is what you have tagged. For sql server, which is in your subject line, use this page.
Then you do a slight modification of your 2nd attempt. Instead of
and EntryDate <= the end date
you want
and EntryDate < the day after the end date
That takes care of any time components. It might not matter in your case, but it's a good habit to get into.
You'll be looking for an query that works with your format? (dd-mm-yy)
CAST to the desired format!
http://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_convert.asp
105 = dd-mm-yy
SELECT * FROM Master
WHERE CONVERT(date, Date, 105) BETWEEN '01-08-13' and '30-08-13'
Be conscious with regards of the choice of data type for date Columns,
with or without time, day or year first etc. and please do not use varchar
for dates...
know that it CAN be confusing to call a date column for only Date...
be consistent with high/lower case.
