Fastest way to search for a date from the date records in MySQL
The fastest and easiest way is to use the MySQL BETWEEN keyword. Let us first create a −
mysql> create table DemoTable1413
-> (
-> EmployeeName varchar(20),
-> EmployeeJoiningDate datetime
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.45 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1413 values('Chris','2018-09-28 11 :10 :50');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1413 values('David','2019-09-28 11:10:50');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1413 values('Mike','2019-09-29 12:40:00');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1413 values('Carol','2019-09-28 12:06:10');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)Display all records from the table using select −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1413;
This will produce the following output −
+--------------+---------------------+
| EmployeeName | EmployeeJoiningDate |
+--------------+---------------------+
| Chris | 2018-09-28 11:10:50 |
| David | 2019-09-28 11:10:50 |
| Mike | 2019-09-29 12:40:00 |
| Carol | 2019-09-28 12:06:10 |
+--------------+---------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to search for date records between dates −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1413
-> where EmployeeJoiningDate between '2019-09-28' and '2019-09-28 23:59:59'
-> limit 1;
This will produce the following output −
+--------------+---------------------+
| EmployeeName | EmployeeJoiningDate |
+--------------+---------------------+
| David | 2019-09-28 11:10:50 |
+--------------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)
