MySQL select * and find record with current date
For the current date, use CURDATE(). Also, use STR_TO_DATE() to format date and compare it with the current date as in the below syntax −
Syntax
select *from yourTableName where str_to_date(yourColumnName,'yourFormatSpecifier')=curdate();
Let’s say the current date is 27/10/2019.
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable
-> (
-> JoiningDate varchar(40)
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.79 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('27/10/2017');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('27/10/2018');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.78 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('27/10/2019');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('27/10/2020');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement−
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+
| JoiningDate |
+-------------+
| 27/10/2017 |
| 27/10/2018 |
| 27/10/2019 |
| 27/10/2020 |
+-------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to compare and find a record with the current date −
mysql> select *from DemoTable where str_to_date(JoiningDate,'%d/%m/%Y')=curdate();
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+
| JoiningDate |
+-------------+
| 27/10/2019 |
+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
