Retrieving Dates in MySql regardless of Years - mysql

I have dates stored in my MySQL database . (ex.: 1992-12-12 , 1983-01-02 , 1983-01-05 , 1983-01-10 )
I want to compare these dates only on Date & Month basis regardless of the years .
Also, i want to retrieve records having date between 2nd January and 5th January , whatever the Year be.
How do i do this?
Please help with the MySQL query.

This request should do what you are looking for. But this will not work perfectly after february because of the 29th
SELECT date
FROM ...
WHERE DAYOFYEAR(date) BETWEEN DAYOFYEAR('2011-01-02') AND DAYOFYEAR('2011-01-05');

First create a function to extract only the day and month part of the date(I have written to the best of my knowledge, there may be a more optimized way than this):
CREATE FUNCTION daymonth (date DATE)
RETURNS DATE
RETURN STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(CONCAT((EXTRACT(MONTH FROM date)),'-'),(EXTRACT(DAY FROM date))),'%m-%d');
Then call the function in your query:
SELECT date
FROM ...
WHERE daymonth(date) BETWEEN daymonth('2011-01-02') AND daymonth('2011-01-05');
I would love to further discuss on this issue. :)

I want to find the previous month's date for specific date in SQL

I want to get the previous month date for specific dates in SQL. For example: 6.21.19 has a previous month date of 5.21.19.
I am just trying to get comps from this.
MONTH( curdate() ) -1
I need to return the previous month date.
Welcome to the board Arie. Judging from your question and responses, you need a range of dates and their prior month relations. The easiest way would be for all of the dates you need to look up to be in a table, then the answers provided so far would work. Since that doesn't appear to be the case, I'm guessing you are creating date ranges on the fly.
So lets assume you need exactly the data shown in your example, there are two parts to this, first you need to get a list of days that you want to look up, then you need to get the day in the prior month. There are lots of ways to get a sequence of days, but for simplicity I'll use a recursive CTE. Once I have the date range, I'll just select the dates and their prior month date as well.
with Date_CTE as (select cast('6/1/2019' as datetime) as repDate
union all
select dateadd(day, 1, repdate) as repDate
from Date_CTE
where repDate < '06/07/2019')
select repDate, dateadd(month, -1, repDate) as PriorDate
from Date_CTE
CTEs are helpful functions and you can get more details on them here, but it's worth noting there are many ways to do this. Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.
SELECT yourDateColumn, yourDateColumn-interval 1 month as prevMonthDate

how to get the data using from date and to date in sql server?

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.

mysql getting all possible months from datetime field

so i have a table with hundreds records. And a have a filed name "created" type with a datetime format. Now I want to make and archive with the months. For example January, February.... etc. I need to create query to find all possible months. For example if my records start from 2011/05/01 to now I will need to fetch the months that means months 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.
Is there a way to that ???
If you are looking at the list of all Months present in the created field (as I understand your query) then do this:
SELECT DISTINCT(MONTH(created)) FROM posts;
The resulting set would be the list of unique months in the field. If this will complain then try:
SELECT DISTINCT(MONTH(DATE(created))) FROM posts;
You can then substitute MONTH for MONTHNAME and get names instead. I did not add the WHERE clause to these queries but you can limit the dataset you are looking at as you see fit.
For more information take a look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/functions.html this has a list of quite a few functions that MySQL natively provides.
Yes, use the DATE_FORMAT function and other date and time functions.
More details here
For example, if you want all your records for December 2011:
SELECT * FROM posts WHERE YEAR(created) = 2011 AND MONTH(created) = 12

I want to get month using date example 2011-04-02 so I want month april. How to get this in MySQL?
SELECT MONTHNAME(date) AS monthName for January, February...
SELECT MONTH(date) AS monthName for 1, 2...
SELECT MONTHNAME(`date`) AS month_name FROM table_name;
You can use MONTHNAME() to get the month name. If you want month number, consider to use MONTH()
You can have a much more elegant solution to this if you use a second table as a date dimension table, and join your date field to it, in order to extract more useful information. This table can contain dates, month names, financial quarters, years, days of week, weekends, etc.
It is a really tiny table, only 365(ish) rows per year of data you have... And you can easily write some code to populate this table with as much data as you require. I did mine in Excel, exported as a CSV file and then imported the data into a blank table.
It also gives lots of benefits, for example, imagine a monthly data table with the following fields (and any others you can think of!) fully populated for all the months in a given range;
Date (E.g. 2009-04-01)
Day (E.g. 1)
Day of Week (E.g. Wednesday)
Month (E.g. 4)
Year (E.g. 2009)
Financial Year (E.g. 2009/10)
Financial Quarter (E.g. 2009Q1)
Calendar Quarter (E.g. 2009Q2)
Then combining this with your own table as follows;
SELECT `DT`.`monthName`
FROM `your_table`
INNER JOIN `dateTable` as DT
ON `your_table`.`your_date_field` = `dateTable`.`theDate`
There are many other nice outputs that you can get from this data.
Hope that helps!

How to filter records from date in MySQL?

In my database, there is a field called birthday(date) and I want to retrieve records that their birth month and birth day is equal to the current month and the day. Is there a way to write a query for this? Or I just have to do it by retrieving all of the records and find the matching records after by using another program? Thanks!
This might also work: (NOTE that I am not sure if you mean day within a Month or day within a week)?
SELECT * FROM TABLE
WHERE MONTH(birthday) = MONTH(CURRENT_DATE)
AND DAY(birthday) = DAY(CURRENT_DATE) --assuming day within a month
select * from table
where date_format(birthday, '%m%d')=date_format(current_date, '%m%d');
The above query would not make use of mysql index
