MySQL select distinct dates from datetime column in a table?
You need to use DISTINCT keyword to select distinct dates from datetime column in a table.
For an example, let us create a table
mysql> create table PostMesssageDemo - > ( - > UserId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, - > UserMessage varchar(100), - > UserPost datetime - > ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.60 sec)
Now you can insert some records in the table using insert command.
The query is as follows
mysql> insert into PostMesssageDemo(UserMessage,UserPost) values('Software Developer',now());
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into PostMesssageDemo(UserMessage,UserPost) values('Software Developer',date_add(now(),interval 3 month));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into PostMesssageDemo(UserMessage,UserPost) values('Software Developer',now());
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into PostMesssageDemo(UserMessage,UserPost) values('Software Developer','2019-03-31 17:30:34');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement.
The query is as follows
mysql> select *from PostMesssageDemo;
The following is the output
+--------+--------------------+---------------------+ | UserId | UserMessage | UserPost | +--------+--------------------+---------------------+ | 1 | Software Developer | 2019-02-15 18:07:27 | | 2 | Software Developer | 2019-05-15 18:09:18 | | 3 | Software Developer | 2019-02-15 18:09:31 | | 4 | Software Developer | 2019-03-31 17:30:34 | +--------+--------------------+---------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The following is the query to get distinct dates
mysql> select distinct year(UserPost),month(UserPost) from PostMesssageDemo;
Here is the output
+----------------+-----------------+ | year(UserPost) | month(UserPost) | +----------------+-----------------+ | 2019 | 2 | | 2019 | 5 | | 2019 | 3 | +----------------+-----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
