How to check whether now() falls between two specific dates in MySQL?

Here, now() represents the current date. To check whether it falls between two specific dates, you need to use the BETWEEN. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
   (
   FirstDate datetime,
   SecondDate datetime
   );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.60 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-04-01','2019-05-02');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-05-28','2019-06-04');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.27 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2016-01-31','2019-03-01');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

Output

+-----------------------+-----------------------+
| FirstDate             | SecondDate            |
+-----------------------+-----------------------+
| 2019-04-01 00 :00 :00 | 2019-05-02 00 :00 :00 |
| 2019-05-28 00 :00 :00 | 2019-06-04 00 :00 :00 |
| 2016-01-31 00 :00 :00 | 2019-03-01 00 :00 :00 |
+-----------------------+-----------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to check now() falls between two specific dates −

mysql> select *from DemoTable where now() BETWEEN FirstDate AND SecondDate;

Output

+-----------------------+-----------------------+
| FirstDate             | SecondDate            |
+-----------------------+-----------------------+
| 2019-05-28 00 :00 :00 | 2019-06-04 00 :00 :00 |
+-----------------------+-----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
