I am selecting all records between NOW() and specific X day interval and came across this odd behavior that I don't understand.
I am checking 24 hours into the future and 24 hours into the past:
select * from table where date between NOW() and NOW() + 1 interval day; //works
select * from table where date between NOW() and NOW() - 1 interval day; //no records
But if I reverse the between call:
select * from table where date between NOW() + 1 interval day AND NOW(); //no records
select * from table where date between NOW() - 1 interval day AND NOW(); //works
Why does one call into the future work, but the same call into the past not work?...and if I reverse between parameters, the opposite behavior happens - does not work 24 hours into the future but does work 24 hours into the past.
======================
Adding #TimBiegeleisen explanation below here written out:
date = '2018-05-30' ;
select * from table where date between NOW() and NOW() + 1 interval day;
= date >= '2018-05-30' AND 'date <= 2018-05-31'; //true
select * from table where date between NOW() and NOW() - 1 interval day; records
= date >= '2018-05-30' AND 'date <= 2018-05-29'; //false
AND
select * from table where date between NOW() + 1 interval day AND NOW();
= date >= '2018-05-31' AND date <= '2018-05-30' //false
select * from table where date between NOW() - 1 interval day AND NOW();
= date >= '2018-05-29' and date <= '2018-05-30'; //true
The BETWEEN operator is interpreted a certain way:
WHERE date BETWEEN a AND b
means this:
WHERE date >= a AND date <= b
So the following two queries are equivalent:
select * from table where date between NOW() and NOW() - interval 1 day;
select * from table where date >= NOW() and date <= NOW() - interval 1 day;
Hopefully you can see that in your second query the WHERE condition can never be true, because a date cannot simutaneously be greater than or equal to now and less than now minus one at the same time.
simply put,
For SQL:
WHERE x between a and b
meaning
x >= a
and
x <= b
therefore, we have a <= x <= b or a <= b
PS: it's just about math :)
I have a mysql DB that has a TIMESTAMP field titled date. How can I select all fields where the last month ?
Forexample 01-05-2014 then 31-05-2014 etc..
Thanks in advance!
select * from table where timestamp_col=LAST_DAY(timestamp_col)
Source
As per my understanding do you want this like...
SELECT * FROM table_name where timestamp_col BETWEEN '2014-05-01' AND '2014-05-31';
SELECT DATETİME, FROM_UNIXTIME(datetime) TİMESTAMP
FROM table_name
WHERE DATETİME >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP( DATE_ADD(LAST_DAY(NOW() + INTERVAL 1 DAY - INTERVAL 2 MONTH) , INTERVAL 1 DAY ))
AND DATETİME < UNIX_TIMESTAMP( (LAST_DAY(NOW() + INTERVAL 1 DAY - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)) )
I want to run a MYSQL query to get data for the previous week. The datatype for the date column is DATETIME. Could anyone suggest?
SELECT *
FROM calendar
WHERE dt BETWEEN CURDATE()-INTERVAL 1 WEEK AND CURDATE();
Here is an another version:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE
YEARWEEK(`date`, 1) = YEARWEEK( CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 WEEK, 1)
SELECT id FROM tbl
WHERE date >= curdate() - INTERVAL DAYOFWEEK(curdate())+6 DAY
AND date < curdate() - INTERVAL DAYOFWEEK(curdate())-1 DAY
Here is the solution I find most reliable for getting data between the previus monday to the current monday. (That is what most people mean when the say past week, but not all, and that reflect in mysql).
SELECT
*
FROM
table
WHERE
date BETWEEN
(CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 DAY) + INTERVAL -1 WEEK - INTERVAL WEEKDAY((CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 DAY)) DAY
and
(CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 DAY) + INTERVAL 0 WEEK - INTERVAL WEEKDAY((CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 DAY)) DAY
It's also easy to change it for another week intervall
Make variable for current datetime - 1 week and make this query:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE date > $datatime
I need to select data from MySQL database between the 1st day of the current month and current day.
select*from table_name
where date between "1st day of current month" and "current day"
Can someone provide working example of this query?
select * from table_name
where (date between DATE_ADD(LAST_DAY(DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), interval 30 day), interval 1 day) AND CURDATE() )
Or better :
select * from table_name
where (date between DATE_FORMAT(NOW() ,'%Y-%m-01') AND NOW() )
I was looking for a similar query where I needed to use the first day of a month in my query.
The last_day function didn't work for me but DAYOFMONTH came in handy.
So if anyone is looking for the same issue, the following code returns the date for first day of the current month.
SELECT DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE)-1 DAY);
Comparing a date column with the first day of the month :
select * from table_name where date between
DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE)-1 DAY) and CURRENT_DATE
select * from table_name
where `date` between curdate() - dayofmonth(curdate()) + 1
and curdate()
SQLFiddle example
I have used the following query. It has worked great for me in the past.
select date(now()) - interval day(now()) day + interval 1 day
try this :
SET #StartDate = DATE_SUB(DATE(NOW()),INTERVAL (DAY(NOW())-1) DAY);
SET #EndDate = ADDDATE(CURDATE(),1);
select * from table where (date >= #StartDate and date < #EndDate);
Complete solution for mysql current month and current year, which makes use of indexing properly as well :)
-- Current month
SELECT id, timestampfield
FROM table1
WHERE timestampfield >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE)-1 DAY)
AND timestampfield <= LAST_DAY(CURRENT_DATE);
-- Current year
SELECT id, timestampfield
FROM table1
WHERE timestampfield >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL DAYOFYEAR(CURRENT_DATE)-1 DAY)
AND timestampfield <= LAST_DAY(CURRENT_DATE);
select * from table
where date between
(date_add (CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL(1 - DAYOFMonth(CURRENT_DATE)) day)) and current_date;
select * from <table>
where <dateValue> between last_day(curdate() - interval 1 month + interval 1 day)
and curdate();
I found myself here after needing this same query for some Business Intelligence Queries I'm running on an e-commerce store. I wanted to add my solution as it may be helpful to others.
set #firstOfLastLastMonth = DATE_SUB(LAST_DAY(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL -2 MONTH)),INTERVAL DAY(LAST_DAY(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL -2 MONTH)))-1 DAY);
set #lastOfLastLastMonth = LAST_DAY(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL -2 MONTH));
set #firstOfLastMonth = DATE_SUB(LAST_DAY(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL -1 MONTH)),INTERVAL DAY(LAST_DAY(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL -1 MONTH)))-1 DAY);
set #lastOfLastMonth = LAST_DAY(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL -1 MONTH));
set #firstOfMonth = DATE_ADD(#lastOfLastMonth, INTERVAL 1 DAY);
set #today = CURRENT_DATE;
Today is 2019-10-08 so the output looks like
#firstOfLastLastMonth = '2019-08-01'
#lastOfLastLastMonth = '2019-08-31'
#firstOfLastMonth = '2019-09-01'
#lastOfLastMonth = '2019-09-30'
#firstOfMonth = '2019-10-01'
#today = '2019-10-08'
A less orthodox approach might be
SELECT * FROM table_name
WHERE LEFT(table_name.date, 7) = LEFT(CURDATE(), 7)
AND table_name.date <= CURDATE();
as a date being between the first of a month and now is equivalent to a date being in this month, and before now. I do feel that this is a bit easier on the eyes than some other approaches, though.
SELECT date_sub(current_date(),interval dayofmonth(current_date())-1 day) as first_day_of_month;
I had some what similar requirement - to find first day of the month but based on year end month selected by user in their profile page.
Problem statement - find all the txns done by the user in his/her financial year. Financial year is determined using year end month value where month can be any valid month - 1 for Jan, 2 for Feb, 3 for Mar,....12 for Dec.
For some clients financial year ends on March and some observe it on December.
Scenarios - (Today is `08 Aug, 2018`)
1. If `financial year` ends on `July` then query should return `01 Aug 2018`.
2. If `financial year` ends on `December` then query should return `01 January 2018`.
3. If `financial year` ends on `March` then query should return `01 April 2018`.
4. If `financial year` ends on `September` then query should return `01 October 2017`.
And, finally below is the query. -
select #date := (case when ? >= month(now())
then date_format((subdate(subdate(now(), interval (12 - ? + month(now()) - 1) month), interval day(now()) - 2 day)) ,'%Y-%m-01')
else date_format((subdate(now(), interval month(now()) - ? - 1 month)), '%Y-%m-01') end)
where ? is year end month (values from 1 to 12).
The key here is to get the first day of the month. For that, there are several options. In terms of performance, our tests show that there isn't a significant difference between them - we wrote a whole blog article on the topic. Our findings show that what really matters is whether you need the result to be VARCHAR, DATETIME, or DATE.
The fastest solution to the real problem of getting the first day of the month returns VARCHAR:
SELECT CONCAT(LEFT(CURRENT_DATE, 7), '-01') AS first_day_of_month;
The second fastest solution gives a DATETIME result - this runs about 3x slower than the previous:
SELECT TIMESTAMP(CONCAT(LEFT(CURRENT_DATE, 7), '-01')) AS first_day_of_month;
The slowest solutions return DATE objects. Don't believe me? Run this SQL Fiddle and see for yourself 😊
In your case, since you need to compare the value with other DATE values in your table, it doesn't really matter what methodology you use because MySQL will do the conversion implicitly even if your formula doesn't return a DATE object.
So really, take your pick. Which is most readable for you? I'd pick the first since it's the shortest and arguably the simplest:
SELECT * FROM table_name
WHERE date BETWEEN CONCAT(LEFT(CURRENT_DATE, 7), '-01') AND CURDATE;
SELECT * FROM table_name
WHERE date BETWEEN DATE(CONCAT(LEFT(CURRENT_DATE, 7), '-01')) AND CURDATE;
SELECT * FROM table_name
WHERE date BETWEEN (LAST_DAY(CURRENT_DATE) + INTERVAL 1 DAY - INTERVAL 1 MONTH) AND CURDATE;
SELECT * FROM table_name
WHERE date BETWEEN (DATE(CURRENT_DATE) - INTERVAL (DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE) - 1) DAY) AND CURDATE;
SELECT * FROM table_name
WHERE date BETWEEN (DATE(CURRENT_DATE) - INTERVAL (DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE)) DAY + INTERVAL 1 DAY) AND CURDATE;
SELECT * FROM table_name
WHERE date BETWEEN DATE_FORMAT(CURRENT_DATE,'%Y-%m-01') AND CURDATE;
I used this one
select DATE_ADD(DATE_SUB(LAST_DAY(now()), INTERVAL 1 MONTH),INTERVAL 1 day) first_day
,LAST_DAY(now()) last_day, date(now()) today_day
All the responses here have been way too complex. You know that the first of the current month is the current date but with 01 as the date. You can just use YEAR() and MONTH() to build the month date by inputting the NOW() method.
Here's the solution:
select * from table_name
where date between CONCAT_WS('-', YEAR( NOW() ), MONTH( NOW() ), '01') and DATE( NOW() )
CONCAT_WS() joins a series of strings with a separator (a dash in this case).
So if today is 2020-08-28, YEAR( NOW() ) = '2020' and MONTH( NOW() ) = '08' and then you just need to append '01' at the end.
Voila!
Get first date and last date from month and year.
select LAST_DAY(CONCAT(year,'.',month,'.','01')) as registerDate from user;
select date_add(date_add(LAST_DAY(end_date),interval 1 DAY),interval -1 MONTH) AS closingDate from user;
SET #date:='2012-07-11';
SELECT date_add(date_add(LAST_DAY(#date),interval 1 DAY),
interval -1 MONTH) AS first_day
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)
