So I have this:
(CURDATE() BETWEEN start_date AND end_date)
Works fine.
But when the CURDATE() is 2011-12-02 and the end_date is 2011-12-02 will it grab the row?
E.g my start_date is 2011-12-01 00:00:00 and my end date is 2011-12-02 23:59:59
So it only works when the date is between but not if it's ON the end_date itself.
Or maybe it should check for the time too, because it still needs to be selected with this query when it's 2011-12-02 15:30:00 for example.
How can I do this?
Well, you could try
CURDATE() BETWEEN start_date AND DATE_ADD(end_date, INTERVAL 1 DAY)
Since both columns are timestamps, you need to make sure times don't trip you up.
To keep the times from tripping you up, cast the timestamps to date.
where current_date between cast(start_date as date)
and cast(end_date as date);
Maybe the answer to this question refers to a bug in an old version of MySql because between is inclusive, which means it will grab rows between the start and end dates inclusive, not just between the start and one day before the end.
Try this:
SELECT CURDATE() BETWEEN CURDATE() AND CURDATE();
The result is 1 (i.e. true).
I believe the original poster problem lies with mixing up proper dates (DATE) and dates with time (DATETIME or TIMESTAMP).
Try this:
SELECT NOW() BETWEEN CURDATE() AND CURDATE();
SELECT NOW() BETWEEN CURDATE() AND DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY);
The result is 0 for the first select and 1 for the second. What happened is a DATE is equivalent to a DATETIME with zero time so unless NOW() is called exactly at midnight it will be greater than CURDATE() and fall outside of the BETWEEN statement.
To prevent this test only the DATE part of a DATETIME using the DATE() function:
SELECT DATE(NOW()) BETWEEN CURDATE() AND CURDATE();
Use start_date <= CURDATE() AND end_date > CURDATE()
It will work ... BETWEEN works inclusive of the boundary values. That is,
(CURDATE() BETWEEN start_date AND end_date)
including start_date,end_date and any day falling between
CURDATE() BETWEEN start_date AND ADDDATE(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY);
cast (end_date - Start_date as double precision) * 86400

I have a table called barcode_log, and these are all the datas from the table.
And now if I run this query
SELECT * FROM `barcode_log` WHERE barcode_log.assign_time BETWEEN DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 30 DAY) AND CURRENT_DATE;
I get this result
But it should return all the rows as all the data is within this month only. And assign_time field is stored as datetime. Any idea what i am doing wrong??
You are ignoring the time part (hh:mm:ss).
If the end day is set to the end timestamp of the current date then you can get the data of current day's too.
BETWEEN is inclusive
SELECT
*
FROM
`barcode_log`
WHERE
barcode_log.assign_time BETWEEN DATE_SUB(
CURRENT_DATE,
INTERVAL 30 DAY
)
AND TIMESTAMP(CONCAT(CURDATE(),' ','23:59:59'));
While the accepted answer works, there is a simpler solution. Just take the date part of the datetime column:
SELECT
*
FROM
`barcode_log`
WHERE
DATE(barcode_log.assign_time)
BETWEEN DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 30 DAY) AND CURRENT_DATE;
There is another way around: CAST() on barcode_log.assign_time field.
SELECT *
FROM `barcode_log`
WHERE CAST(barcode_log.assign_time AS DATE)
BETWEEN DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 30 DAY) AND CURRENT_DATE;
This excludes time from comparison and works fine for your purpose.
I am using a SQL query like:
SELECT * FROM game_list
WHERE start_date <= DATE(NOW()) AND end_date >= DATE(NOW())
ORDER BY game_id DESC;
Now, what time will this actually start and end? I mean I know on what date but what will the time be, is it midnight, 12 am, pm or what?
If i understand correctly you want to show a game only if current time is between start time and end time,in that case what you need is actually:
SELECT * FROM game_list
WHERE DATE(NOW()) >= start_date AND DATE(NOW()) <= end_date
ORDER BY game_id DESC;
This way it should work properly
The only problem i could see is if you don't format your start_date and end_date correctly.
If your value is full time stamp,you should simply use NOW() or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP directly as it contains both date AND time
If your start_date is year month day eg: 2012-05-12 you should use CURDATE()
If your value is simply a day number,like 1...2...3...4..etc you should use DAY()
I would doublecheck what start_date returns and decide accordingly,for reference i would take a look here date and time in mysql
If you are asking how the DATE function works: it simply extracts the date part of a datetime.
see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_date
SELECT DATE('2003-12-31 01:02:03');
-> '2003-12-31
This represents simply that day. Considered as datetime again it would become midnight(2003-12-31 00:00:00)
I think you want something like following
SELECT * FROM game_list
WHERE start_date <= DATE(NOW()) AND end_date >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
ORDER BY game_id DESC;
Above query fetch the records which starts before today and having end date greater than tomorrow's date
How do I subtract 30 days from the current datetime in mysql?
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE exec_datetime BETWEEN DATEDIFF(NOW() - 30 days) AND NOW();
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE exec_datetime BETWEEN DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 30 DAY) AND NOW();
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_date-add
To anyone who doesn't want to use DATE_SUB, use CURRENT_DATE:
SELECT CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 30 DAY
MySQL subtract days from now:
select now(), now() - interval 1 day
Prints:
2014-10-08 09:00:56 2014-10-07 09:00:56
Other Interval Temporal Expression Unit arguments:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/expressions.html#temporal-intervals
select now() - interval 1 microsecond
select now() - interval 1 second
select now() - interval 1 minute
select now() - interval 1 hour
select now() - interval 1 day
select now() - interval 1 week
select now() - interval 1 month
select now() - interval 1 year
Let's not use NOW() as you're losing any query caching or optimization because the query is different every time. See the list of functions you should not use in the MySQL documentation.
In the code below, let's assume this table is growing with time. New stuff is added and you want to show just the stuff in the last 30 days. This is the most common case.
Note that the date has been added as a string. It is better to add the date in this way, from your calling code, than to use the NOW() function as it kills your caching.
SELECT * FROM table WHERE exec_datetime >= DATE_SUB('2012-06-12', INTERVAL 30 DAY);
You can use BETWEEN if you really just want stuff from this very second to 30 days before this very second, but that's not a common use case in my experience, so I hope the simplified query can serve you well.
You can also use
select CURDATE()-INTERVAL 30 DAY
SELECT date_format(current_date - INTERVAL 50 DAY,'%d-%b-%Y')
You can format by using date format in SQL.
If you only need the date and not the time use:
select*from table where exec_datetime
between subdate(curdate(), 30)and curdate();
Since curdate() omits the time component, it's potentially faster than now() and more "semantically correct" in cases where you're only interested in the date.
Also, subdate()'s 2-arity overload is potentially faster than using interval.
interval is meant to be for cases when you need a non-day component.
another way
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tbl_debug WHERE TO_DAYS(`when`) < TO_DAYS(NOW())-30 ;
Is there a way in a MySQL statement to order records (through a date stamp) by >= NOW() -1 so all records from the day before today to the future are selected?
Judging by the documentation for date/time functions, you should be able to do something like:
SELECT * FROM FOO
WHERE MY_DATE_FIELD >= NOW() - INTERVAL 1 DAY
Be aware that the result may be slightly different than you expect.
NOW() returns a DATETIME.
And INTERVAL works as named, e.g. INTERVAL 1 DAY = 24 hours.
So if your script is cron'd to run at 03:00, it will miss the first three hours of records from the 'oldest' day.
To get the whole day use CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 DAY. This will get back to the beginning of the previous day regardless of when the script is run.
Didn't see any answers correctly using DATE_ADD or DATE_SUB:
Subtract 1 day from NOW()
...WHERE DATE_FIELD >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
Add 1 day from NOW()
...WHERE DATE_FIELD >= DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
You're almost there: it's NOW() - INTERVAL 1 DAY
Sure you can:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE DateStamp > DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL -1 DAY)
when search field is timestamp and you want find records from 0 hours yesterday and 0 hour today use construction
MY_DATE_TIME_FIELD between makedate(year(now()), date_format(now(),'%j')-1) and makedate(year(now()), date_format(now(),'%j'))
instead
now() - interval 1 day
I am having dates in my database.
My database is in MySQL.
I want to fetch dates from my database which provides me dates from last monday till current day.
How can I do that?
You first have to work out how many days ago last monday was, using the DAYOFWEEK function, then subtract that from the current date -
SELECT * from table
WHERE date >= DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL MOD(DAYOFWEEK(CURDATE())-2,7) DAY)
AND date <= DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL MOD(7 - (DAYOFWEEK(CURDATE()) - 1), 7) DAY)
I'm not 100% sure about the +/- numbers here, you should be able to work it out from this though
EDIT: If this will only ever be run on the sunday at the end of the period, there is a much simpler version -
SELECT * from table
WHERE date >= DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 6 DAY)
AND date <= CURDATE()
try this one
select * from table
WHERE date >date_sub(curdate(), interval WEEKDAY(curdate()) day) ;
You could always use the between function in your queries...
SELECT *
FROM orders
WHERE order_date between to_date ('2003/01/01', 'yyyy/mm/dd')
AND to_date ('2003/12/31', 'yyyy/mm/dd');
