MySQL query to subtract date records with week day and display the weekday with records
For this, you can use DATE_FORMAT(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1820
(
AdmissionDate varchar(20)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1820 values('20/10/2019');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1820 values('19/12/2018');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1820 values('16/04/2017');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1820;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------+
| AdmissionDate |
+---------------+
| 20/10/2019 |
| 19/12/2018 |
| 16/04/2017 |
+---------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to subtract date records with week day and display week day name along with records −
mysql> select DATE_FORMAT(SUBDATE(STR_TO_DATE(AdmissionDate,'%d/%m/%y'), WEEKDAY(STR_TO_DATE(AdmissionDate,'%d/%m/%y'))), '%a %d %b') from DemoTable1820;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| DATE_FORMAT(SUBDATE(STR_TO_DATE(AdmissionDate,'%d/%m/%y'), WEEKDAY(STR_TO_DATE(AdmissionDate,'%d/%m/%y'))), '%a %d %b') |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Mon 19 Oct |
| Mon 14 Dec |
| Mon 13 Apr |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
