Fetch date record that equals today in MySQL

For this, compare the date records with the current date using the CURDATE() method. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
(
   RegistrationLastDate datetime
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.61 sec)

Let’s say the current date is −

2019-09-03

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-08-01');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-09-03 9:50:56');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-09-03');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-09-02');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-09-02 9:50:00');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+----------------------+
| RegistrationLastDate |
+----------------------+
| 2019-08-01 00:00:00  |
| 2019-09-03 09:50:56  |
| 2019-09-03 00:00:00  |
| 2019-09-02 00:00:00  |
| 2019-09-02 09:50:00  |
+----------------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to fetch data record that equals today. Here, we are comparing all the records with the current date using the CURDATE() method −

mysql> select *from DemoTable where DATE(RegistrationLastDate)=curdate();

This will produce the following output −

+----------------------+
| RegistrationLastDate |
+----------------------+
| 2019-09-03 09:50:56  |
| 2019-09-03 00:00:00  |
+----------------------+
2 rows in set (0.01 sec)
