How to query between two dates in MySQL?
You can query between dates with the help of BETWEEN statement. The syntax is as follows −
select *from yourTableName where yourColumnName between ‘yourStartingDate’ and curdate().
Use curdate() or now(), both these functions will work. To understand the above syntax, let us create a table −
mysql> create table BetweenDateDemo −> ( −> StartDate datetime −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.78 sec)
Insert some records in the table with the help of the following query −
mysql> insert into BetweenDateDemo values(date_add(now(),interval -1 year)); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into BetweenDateDemo values(date_add(now(),interval -2 year)); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into BetweenDateDemo values(date_add(now(),interval -3 year)); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into BetweenDateDemo values(date_add(now(),interval 1 year)); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into BetweenDateDemo values(date_add(now(),interval 2 year)); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into BetweenDateDemo values(date_add(now(),interval 3 year)); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
Now you can display all records from the table with the help of select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from BetweenDateDemo;
The following is the output −
+---------------------+ | StartDate | +---------------------+ | 2017-12-08 11:45:47 | | 2016-12-08 11:45:56 | | 2015-12-08 11:46:01 | | 2019-12-08 11:46:05 | | 2020-12-08 11:46:11 | | 2021-12-08 11:46:15 | +---------------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now perform select between dates using the syntax discussed above −
mysql> select *from BetweenDateDemo where StartDate between '2014-8-12' and curdate();
The following is the output −
+---------------------+ | StartDate | +---------------------+ | 2017-12-08 11:45:47 | | 2016-12-08 11:45:56 | | 2015-12-08 11:46:01 | +---------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Use ORDER BY to get in a sorted order. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from BetweenDateDemo where StartDate between '2014-8-12' and curdate() order by StartDate;
The following is the output −
+---------------------+ | StartDate | +---------------------+ | 2015-12-08 11:46:01 | | 2016-12-08 11:45:56 | | 2017-12-08 11:45:47 | +---------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
