To increase precision with division, use MySQL CAST(). Let us first create a table −mysql> create table DemoTable1823      (      Value int      ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)Insert some records in the table using insert command −mysql> insert into DemoTable1823 values(1); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1823 values(2); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1823 values(3); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −mysql> select * from DemoTable1823;This will produce the following output −+-------+ | Value ...

No, the query won’t work. Let’s create the same scenario and check the error −mysql> create table DemoTable1821      (      Id int,      FirstName varchar,      LastName varchar      ); ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ', LastName varchar )' at line 4To remove the above error, you need to give the size of varchar(10).

For this, you can use COUNT() along with GROUP BY MONTH(). To match with the current date, use CURRENT_DATE(). The current date is as follows −mysql> select curdate() ; +------------+ | curdate()  | +------------+ | 2019-11-30 | +------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)Let us first create a table −mysql> create table DemoTable1819      (      Name varchar(20),      RegisteringDate datetime      ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)Insert some records in the table using insert command −mysql> insert into DemoTable1819 values('Chris', '2019-11-29 12:30:34'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1819 ...
