I have a table who contains a field 'date' which is a date in varchar format ("2016-07-30"). I would like to select all items which are between the date of today and the date of today +1 month. I already done the variable who contains the two dates (in date format) but I don't know how to select items between these two dates because the field of my table is in varchar and not in date format.
Thank you so much for your help.
Try something like this:
select *
from yourtable
where str_to_date(datecol, '%Y-%m-%d') between now() and date_add(now(), interval 1 month)
But the right thing you should do is alter your column type to date.

I have saved dates in my MySQL table as VARCHAR format.
I want to fetch rows between two dates.
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE date BETWEEN '01-02-2017' AND '28-02-2017'
This one didn't work. Is there any way to do that?
Try This..
and store date data type as a date
select Date from emp_tbl where eid = 1 and Date >= '2016/03/31' and Date <= '2017/03/31'
I have a products table which contains expiry_date (VARCHAR). How to select products which would be expiring 3 months from now to be displayed on a table with PHP?
EDIT: expiry_date format is 2017-01-01 (Y-m-d)
Better option is to use date and time functions in mysql instead of making varchar for date stuffs.
You can use DATE_ADD and BETWEEN.
Use STR_TO_DATE to convert date to varchar
SELECT *
FROM tbl
WHERE STR_TO_DATE(varchar_expiry_date, '%Y-%m-%d') BETWEEN now()
AND DATE_ADD(now(), INTERVAL 3 MONTH)
Please I have a field date type timestamp (format 2013-03-29 14:32:34).
I want to select data from the table and group them by the field date but without time, I mean only by the format Y-m-d.
So I've tried :
SELECT date (Y-m-d) FROM table GROUP BY date (Y-m-d)
This return false. Please How could I do ? Thanks in advance.
To extract the date part of the datetime, use DATE()
SELECT DATE(date) FROM ...
GROUP BY DATE(date)
I am trying to select all records in a table which have a date between the current date and 1 month ahead.
The date is stored like this DD-MM-YYYY
And the query I have tried:
SELECT * from tablename WHERE renewalDate BETWEEN DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE(),GET_FORMAT(DATE,'EUR')) AND DATE_ADD(DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE(),GET_FORMAT(DATE,'EUR')), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
But this does not return the correct results.
Is the date stored in an actual date or datetime field? If it's in a char/varchar field, you won't be able to use the BETWEEN syntax, as mysql will just treat them as fixed strings.
Im pulling information from a database and ive got the query working fine except i'd like to only select conent from a certain date range. Each row has a field with the created date stored as a DATETIME field. What is the basic syntax?
SELECT fields
FROM table
WHERE date BETWEEN '$startDate' AND '$endDate'
Dates in MySQL are in YYYY-MM-DD format, so the actual query would look like:
SELECT fields
FROM table
WHERE date BETWEEN '2010-10-01' AND '2010-09-25'
WHERE `date_field` BETWEEN '2010-09-21 12:13:14' AND '2010-09-28 12:13:14'

select * from table where datetime between DATE1 and DATE2
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE DateTime
BETWEEN time1 AND time2
