Current Date & Time For Datetime Variable?
I have created a table with a variable of the type "datetime". Any one knows how to update this variable with the current date and time? The function Curdate() only updates the date, not the time.

Creating Datetime Data Object From Date And Time Objects
I have date and time objects that correspond to eachother. I want to add a certain amount of minutes and hours to them and get the resulting date and time. I was planning on creating a datetime datatype from the two and then using the date_add() function and then convert back; however, I do not know how to create a datetime object from two seperate date and time types and then back to seperate types, or whether it is even possible.

Comparing Difference Between Current Record And Previous, Non-sequential/variable Data
I have a locally-developed asset tracking system in which inventory operators upload batches of time stamped CSV data into a “move_log†via a handheld barcode scanner after they take an inventory of what assets are in a particular location. I would like to be able to identify each time an item actually moved from one location to the next. Sounds simple, however: 1. An item may be inventoried multiple times without actually moving (think large items that don’t move very often, if ever). This means an entry in the “move_log†table for each inventory sweep, even if no change in location. 2. An item may move from one location to another, then back to the original location, perhaps several times. Think items such as laptops kept in a central depot and checked out for use. This means that a simple “SELECT DISTINCT†will not show the actual number of moves, just the number of different places an asset has been. Unless I am missing something, the best way I can think to describe a “move†is to look at the entries for each asset, and then compare with the previous entry for that asset. Any difference between the current entry and the previous would count as one “move.†Of course, there is no set number of entries for a particular asset. Some assets may have been inventoried once or twice, others dozens of times. I would like to do this entirely within MySQL if possible. The table in question: ...

Date :: Select X Number Of Months Ahead Of Current Date
I am trying to query dates stored in my mysql database... eg: 2005-12-13 (13th Dec 2005) 2006-03-14 (14th Mar 2005) My SQL query needs to fetch all the records which are X number of months ahead of the current date. eg: I query it saying "get me all records where the date is 1 month from now.... I have used this (MONTH(date_review)-MONTH(CURDATE())) which returns 1 - so this is ok - as it's November, and december is one month away.... but when I ask for 3 months - it wont get the records... I know I somehow need to add the months on - but how do I do this with the year attached too?

Current Date Insert
Does MySQL support the CURRENT DATE reserved word? i.e. insert into mytable ( name ,MyDateColumn ) values ( 'FV' ,'CURRENT DATE') I keep getting 0000-00-00 inserted using the above format, current date without single quotes gets an error. I <*thought*> that was standard SQL, but perhaps DB2 has polluted my mind.

DateTime Without Time
I have a difficult case and need your advice: For managing events in my online application I need to be able to input the start and end. They can be inserted either as a date only or as a date and time both. And I save this data into the DATETIME format. The problem is, if only a date is inserted, MYSQL will put the missing time information automatically as '00:00:00' but I don't want this. Because it will display the time as '00:00:00' which is wrong. Is there no way to save into DATETIME format without the time?

Comparing Datetime And Time
I need to compare two values : the first one is in DATETIME format and the second one in TIME format. If I compare the two values with an usual operator, will MySQL extract the "time" part of the DATETIME and compare it to the TIME value? If not, what function can I use to extract the "time" value? I have noticed the existence of TIME(expr) function, that extracts the TIME value from 'expr'... but it works only if 'expr' is a string, not a DATETIME.

PHP/MySQL Sorting By Date & Time (using Non Military Time)
This is probably a simple issue but I have searched online and can't find an answer. I am using PHP/MySQL and I guess the most intuitive would be to have three select boxes containing HOUR / MINUTE / AM,PM option. Then store the time into mysql using there functions so I can output the data sorting them all by date and time. All the examples I have seen are for military time only but I'm sure there has got to be a simple mysql function or php function that converts non military to military and a formatting function to display with the AM / PM. But I have not found it.

Updating A Table Via Select, But Include Current Date

The report table has id, date, shown, clicked as fields and all of those except the date come from a second table. So, I'd like to run a job daily that does something similar to the following: update s_r (id, date=TODAY(), shown, clicked) from (select id, shown clicked) from s; I'm generally familiar with database work but don't have deep knowledge (yet :) and I evidently don't have my search skills tuned for database questions yet.

Comparing String Dates To Current Date For Month And Day
Trying to set the display column to a no if the ending date is before or at the current date. Comparing string dates to the current date for month and day only. Am using CONCAT because the ending date needs to be figured into a date as month_end is in a varchar type and day_end is a tinyint type. The query does run, but it affects everything where continuous != 'always' - seeming to ignore the AND part. UPDATE Listings SET display = 'no' WHERE continuous != 'always' AND STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(month_end, '-', day_end), '%M-%e') <= DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE(), '%M-%e') What should be done differently here?

How To Save Accounts Based On Variable Amounts Of Time

I want to save the different account types in the database, but I'm not sure how to save the duration of an account.

DATETIME -> DATE
I have a table with a DATETIME column named 'date'. I find that my queries often do 'DATE(`date`)' and so I figure that it'd make more sense to have a column with the actual date in it, rather than the DATETIME. I could then make that column an index which would speed up my queries.Does that make sense?If so, how best to do this. Something like this? ALTER TABLE rawdata ADD daydate DATE after date, ADD INDEX (daydate); UPDATE rawdata SET daydate=DATE(date); It seems wasteful/etc to duplicate the actual date, but I can't remove the DATETIME column since it's already used in other applications. Is there some way to have a column whose value is automatically derived from another column?

Convert Int Date To Datetime

The int is stored as 20040520 (which means 5/20/2004) I tried saying Select col1 from table where cast(DateSold as DATETIME)[color=blue] > '1/1/2004'[/color] but of course it bombs out. What is the most efficient way to do this? Is there a way to cast it without doing some crazy string manipulation?

UPDATE Date Of DATETIME
I have a datetime column. And for some random row of data, I want to change the date (but not the time) of the datetime column. How do I do this? before: datetime = 2006/04/03 12:30:25 if I do: UPDATE table SET DATE(datetime)='20060404' where id=whatever; I get this: datetime = 2006/04/04 00:00:00 I also tried: UPDATE table SET DATE(datetime)='20060404'+TIME(datetime) where id=whatever; but that seems to take the time and add it to the date instead of concatenate it or something. Anyways, my point is, I'm trying to update the date and only the date for a datetime value without adjusting the time. I know there is some simple way to do this but I'm far from a MYSQL syntax expert.
