MYSQL :: SELECT Date Records Between Two Given Dates.

Select Records By Date
I got a form where the date is being plugged into the database on items that are marked as sold.

I want all records to show up until 5 days after being posted as sold.

So for example:

If I posted a item as sold on Oct 5th, after Oct 10th the record wouldnt be shown again.

How To Get Records Between Two Dates
In database I have stored dates in &#55612;&#57200;-00-00 00:00:00' format.
And from user I am getting dates in 'mm/dd/yyyy' format.

1- How can I get records from database between user entered dates.

Getting Records Between Certain Dates?
Is there a way to get records from a database between certain date periods if each record has been stamped with a NOW() date/time entry?

How To Get Records Between Two Specific Dates?
i'm a newbee to mysql.

i'm having a table called transaction which stores transaction details with dates.

i'm having another table callled company in which the company info stored,

The company table has the fiscal month details.

what i wnt to do is get the records from the transaction which is between two specific dates(i.e) in the fiscal year

eg: 04-01-2006 to 03-31-2007

as far as now i'm having the query,

SELECT t.* FROM transaction t,company c where t.companyid=c.id AND
(MONTH(t.transdate)>MONTH(str_to_date(c.fiscalmonth,'%M')) AND
YEAR(t.transdate)=YEAR(now())) ||
(MONTH(t.transdate)<MONTH(str_to_date(c.fiscalmonth,'%M')) AND
YEAR(t.transdate)=YEAR(now())+1) and c.id=2 order by transdate
Note: the company table stores the fical months as month names(i.e) March etc.,

i think this is far complex, and is there any easy function to get the records b/w two dates??

Pick Records Between Two Dates
I guess this is more likely a MySQL question.

I would like to get the number of my members grouped by their signup date.

I store the signup_date as DATETIME.

I came up with following dirty php code:

$curday = date("d");
$curmonth = date("m");
$curyear = date("Y");

$days = 7; // date interval

$dates = array();

for ($i=$days; $i>0; $i--) {
$a = $days - $i;
$dates[$a] = date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,$curmonth,$curday-$i,$curyear));
}

include("db.php");
$query = "SELECT DATE(signup_date), COUNT(name) FROM members WHERE DATE(signup_date) > $dates[0] GROUP BY DATE(signup_date)";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

echo '<table>';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>' . $row['DATE(signup_date)'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['COUNT(name)'] . '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';

This outputs number of members signed up from the beginning. I want just the number of members signed up before 7 days onwards (or between two dates, that would be better).

Exclude Records In Between Two Dates
Basically, I have two tables:

create table dresses (
id int unsigned auto_increment primary key,
reference_number varchar(16)
);

create table bookings (
id int unsigned auto_increment primary key,
dress_id int unsigned,
booked_from date,
booked_to date,
reason varchar(32)
);

Now I can select everything from dresses with all my required criteria, but what I need done is that the select statement excludes any dresses that are within a specified time frame.

For arguments sake:
I need a dress from '2006-01-10' to '2006-01-14'. I want to see all the dresses in my database that arent currently booked out inbetween those two date.

So it would be something along the lines of:

SELECT
dresses.id,reference_number from dresses,bookings
WHERE
(booked_from NOT BETWEEN('2006-01-10') AND ('2006-01-14')) AND
(booked_to NOT BETWEEN('2006-01-10') AND ('2006-01-14'))
;

Problem comes in with the relationship in-between dresses and bookings clearly. How do I make it display all the dresses?

Pulling Out Records For Expired Dates
I have what I think is a unix timestamp in a db field - 1146673434 - and I want to try and pull out all the records that are less than that field plus one year. The date is when people registered so I want to find out which records have a date that is over one year ago :-

db date + 1 year <= current date

but this sql is failing to pull out any records :-

SELECT username, id FROM users WHERE DATE_ADD('registered_at', INTERVAL 1 YEAR) <12-09-2006

Finding Records Between Dates Problem
Here is my query.

SELECT * FROM callhistory
WHERE date_format(callhistory.TimeStamp, '%m/%d/%Y') between '09/15/2004' and '01/08/2006'

This returns nothing.

If I change it to

SELECT * FROM callhistory
WHERE date_format(callhistory.TimeStamp, '%m/%d/%Y') between '09/15/2004' and '12/08/2006'

It works fine.

Output Multiple Records From Start Date To End Date?
Firstly I'm using MySQL 5 on Win2003.

I have a DB table that has multple columns, but the 2 columns I am interested in are DATE_START and DATE_END. So I'll have many records in the DB and the values in these fields will be anything like:

DATE_START=2006-10-23
DATE_END=2006-10-26

Or if its a 1 day thing it will be sumin like:

DATE_START=2006-10-23
DATE_END=2006-10-23

Is there anyway I can output multiple records from the DB for that one record between those dates? For example, the first record above would output:

TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-23
TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-24
TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-25
TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-26

So basically I get a loop of all dates between the start and end date?

Before anyone asks, no I can't loop through this in the code! I have a calendar, and all the dates are created and I just need to populate these dates with the records... and I won't go into detail, but without querying every day, this is the best way by far to do it... just need to know if it can be done?

Query By Dates To Find History Records
what is the correct way to query on a date field in a table to pull a value that is older than 3 days?

Date field format is 2007-04-04

I only want records where the date is 2007-04-01 or earlier.

Check If The Current Date Is Between Two Dates
I have a table with the folowing fields:
- id (int)
- event_title (text)
- event_description (text)
- event_start (date)
- event_end (date)

I would like to know how can I build a query to select the events available between two dates (event_start and event_end).

For example, if one of the event has "event_start" = 2007-06-01 and "event_end" = 2007-06-05, if I select 2007-06-02 as the current date I would like to see this event.

Query Dates Within 1 Week From A Date
I'm fairly new to PHP and have done some basic work with mysql but am not sure how to approach this. I'm trying to figure out how to create a query with PHP to get all rows with a datetime from 1 week ago to the current timedate.

Note: I'm also not sure how to find a date for 1 week ago with PHP. Any help would be great.

Loading Date Strings As Dates
Now that MySQL 5.0.15 is production ready, are there any functions to
use with mysqlimport, so I can load a string such as, MM/dd/yy, in a
text file into a MySQL database as a yyyy-MM-dd date value.

Selecting Certain Dates From Date Column
I wonder how this can be done, data is like this

+---------------------+
| whenstamp |
+---------------------+
| 2005-02-21 12:27:54 |
| 2005-02-21 12:27:54 |
| 2005-02-21 12:27:55 |
| 2005-02-21 12:42:55 |
+---------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

I tried something like this ::
$this_month = mysqli_query($dbcon,"select date_format(whenstamp,'%d-%m-%Y') as datex from logs
where %m = '02'");

Basically I want to retrive records corresponding to the current month, I know I have hardcore '02' in their but that was just for testing and getting started.

Date Variables And Adding Dates
what i need to do is make a database query that inserts a row and one of hte coumns in the row is a date variable. i know how to make a query to put in the current datetime using NOW() but i need to do like NOW()+30days from NOW()
and there was like 50 zillion different ways to do this kind of stuff, i dont know what i need. im trying to do a very basic task

Select Dates
I need to select all dates between (and including) two given dates.
something like

SELECT DATE() BETWEEN '(dynamic date)' AND DATE_ADD('(dynamic date)', INTERVAL 90 DAY)

so that the result set would contain 90 days....
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Select Dates After A Specified Interval
The code i have come up with thus far is as follows:

SET @StartDate='2005-11-22', @StopDate1='2007-11-22', @date1= '2006-01-31'; #Note: do not set StopTime greater than 23:59:59

SELECT
Table1.StopDate As Date

FROM dbase1.Table1
where StopDate= @date1
@date1 = DATE_ADD('2006-01-31', Interval 2 DAY)
WHERE ((dbase1.Table1.StopDate)>= @StartDate) AND ((dbase1.Table1.StopDate)<= @StopDate1)
GROUP BY Table1.StopDate;

date1 is the first date in the series.

Can someone point out where i am going wrong or if there is an easier way to do this?

Select Range Of Dates
How can I select a continuous range of dates? For example If i want all of the dates between Jan 01 2007 and Apr 02 2007 to be listed as:

jan-01-2007
Jan-02-2007
jan-03-2007
..
Apr-01-2007
Apr-02-2007

What Select statement could I use? The date format is not important.

Select Fields Between 2 Dates
I am trying to develop a booking system in PHP with MySQL but I am having trouble writing some code that checks to see if a new booking clashes with another. e.g. in the database I have a booking that runs from 2008-03-10 to 2008-03-20. When I add a booking I want to check to see if a booking already exists between these dates. Is this possible?

I am not an expert with MySQL but the closest I got is to carry out 2 query's:

SELECT propertyid, arrival_date, departure_date FROM bookings WHERE arrival_date BETWEEN '$arrival_date' AND '$departure_date'

SELECT propertyid, arrival_date, departure_date FROM bookings WHERE departure_date BETWEEN '$arrival_date' AND '$departure_date'

but this obviously will not check if a booking is made in between these dates, e.g. if I try and add a booking from 2008-03-13 to 2008-03-18 it will not think that there is a collision of booking.

Retrieving Dates In SELECT
Im trying to select some results from a query and use a WHERE clause to extract ones that were only created greater than July 1st 2007.

In the table, there is a 'created' column which stores a unix timestamp. The sql im using is

"SELECT post,created FROM table1 WHERE created >= 1183348800"

It seems that the WHERE clause is just comparing the acutal number and not realizing that it is a unix date.Is there a function that I am able to use?

Who Do I Write Select With Dates And Times
i have to cols, date and time. who can i do, SELECT between (date 1,time 1) to (date 2, time 2)?

for example i want to get the recordes between 2007-01-01 23:00:00 to 2007-01-03 03:00:00 ?

Select All Dates Since First Of Current Month
I'd like to write a query to select all records entered since the first of the current month (also, a query for all records entered during the previous month). A "date_in" field is being populated using the Now() function.

Select Date Only From Date Time Field
if I have "Date Time" field , How can I get the Date only from this field.

Selecting Date Records
What is the most efficient way to select records based on a field called NOW
which contains a date or a datetimestamp

I use:
SELECT * FROM `TBL` WHERE
DATE_ADD( `TBL`.`NOW` , INTERVAL 3 MONTH ) > CURDATE( );

Is this the best way?

Slecting Records Within A Date Range...
I need to perform a query on a small table (bookings). The table has 2 fields that include the booked from and to dates. I'd like to be able to run a query to see if an individual date is 'taken'.

The format of the 2 fields is YYYY-MM-DD, the date passed to the query is currently formatted identically, but could easily be changed if need be.

I've tried many other work-arounds but am very frustrated now.
Basically, I'd like a true if 2008-10-22 is given (assuming that there is a book_from of 2008-10-19 and a book_to of 2008-10-26).

Distinct Records Ordered By Date
I have the basis of a forum similar in workings to this one. I am using perl with MySQL the problem i have is a simple SQL one.

I have a table storing all post data including fields.
forumID,
threadID,
postID,
postTitle,
datePosted,
timePosted

I want to list the threads in the order of last posted/replied to. So similar to this you click on the forum you want view and you get a list of the threads in that forum with the most recently active at the top. I don't mind how much data i can get for each thread, i can handle just getting the threadID and then i can loop back through it again and get the specific data for that thread (infact this would be preferable as it would give me more control although would work the server alittle harder).

the closest SQL i have to working is:

SELECT DISTINCT threadID FROM postdata WHERE forumID='$fid' ORDER BY dataPosted, timePosted DESC;

but the order seems not to change.

Converting MS Access Dates To MySQL Dates During LOAD DATA INPUT ?
My insert code is below. The MySQL server is on my local machine and is version 4.1.22. I am exporting from an access table with 6 fields to a mysql table with those 6 plus 5 more fields. The main problem I am having SO FAR, is converting dates. The data file dates are formated like:
2/2/2006 0:00:00, 12/20/2006 9:22:05

Any ideas how to format those into mysql friendly dates?

Also, how do I convert currency fields in the load data process? I know you use SET by what kind of formula?

===========================================

LOAD DATA INFILE 'C:Documents and Settingspath_to_filedata.txt'
INTO TABLE auto
(field2, field3, field4, field5, currency_field6, field7, date_field8, date_field9)
SET id = MD5(UUID())
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '

How To Select Records?
I select a list of records eg: from table1.

select names as temp from table1;

next i want to use the names selected from table1 to select other records again from table 2. How do i write the combine statement?

Select All Records
I have a structure like this:

A table (authors) that consists of authors names, ages, and an authorid
A table (books) that consists of books names, year published, and a bookid
A table (aTob) that consists of authorid and bookid, to match book to author

I want to write a select statement that selects all authors and all books they've written, if any.

So my best guess is:

SELECT authors.name, authors.age, books.name, books.year from authors, books, aTob.

But this doesn't work...sems to draw SQL into an infinite operation. The result I'm looking for is a row for each author and book...so some authors will be listed several times if they've written several books...BUT, I also want authors who haven't written any books...The end goal is to have a view in which I can do some statistical things, such as find the average year of publication for each author.

Select Records
I am needing to select records where a field has the current date. I figured that this would work:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(datetimefield) = DATE(NOW())

But that doesnt seem to work. In PHP i receive the following error:

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(datetimefield) = DATE(NOW()) ORDER BY datetimefield' at line 1,I have tried with a conjuction of MONTH and DAY, but it always seems to hang on the DAY part of it. Whats up with it?

Select Records
i'm quite a newbie in using MySQL so this question should be an easy-answer one.
I've got a db with about 20 tables in it containing various data about architecture projects like name, description, dimensions, year, etc.. Each table contains a specific kind of project but every table has the same structure. I want to select the latest project inserted considering every table (for example latest 10 project between all the tables). I tried with this but doesnt work:
SELECT * FROM pro_pianificazione, pro_master, pro_grandi, pro_residenza, pro_terziario, pro_attivita, pro_allestimenti, pro_arti ORDER BY 'id' DESC LIMIT $primo, $per_page
Of course the vairables of LIMIT instance are prevoiusly set in the code.

SELECT Records
I have two MySQL tables as follows:A 'wine' table that contains about 50 wines & has fields such as wine_id, name, origin, vintage etcA 'wine_venue' table that lists venues and the wines that each venue does NOT offer. It has 2 fields venue_id and wine_id
I want to select all the wines that a specific venue DOES offer. (BTW most venues offer all the wines in the wine table)
I have tried the following select statement, but it does not give the result I want!Code:

SELECT *
FROM wine, wine_venue
WHERE wine.wine_id != wine_venue.wine_id
AND wine_venue.venue_id = 23

Select Records
I need to know if it is possible select records from a database table on a remote server and if so what is the command syntax?
I'm picturing something along the lines of

SELECT * FROM <server address>:<database>.<table> but that does not work.

Select Surrounding Records
I am trying to find a way to select 2 rows before and two rows after a known row.

For example, I have a table with an id and a datetime field. Given row with an id of 70, how can I select the two rows that would preceed it, and the two that would follow it, when the table is sorted on the datetime field? I have been looking around, but can't seem to find a way to this.

HOW TO: Select Only The Last 2 Records In A Table.
I'm not very good in mySQL but am trying to modify a script.
It has to do with a log table.
I want to retrieve the last 2 log records (if any) and if the last log
entries are the same as my current (to be) entry, simply update the time in
the last entry. But if not, simply insert the new entry.

My question is how to select the last two entries from the log table?

CREATE TABLE broadcast_log (
id mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
time varchar(20) NOT NULL,
entry varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

Select Distinct Records
I am trying to compare the date part of a datetime value field with today's date....

Here's the sql:

mySQL = "Select * from Test WHERE TheDate LIKE'"&date()"' ORDER BY TheDate"
Set rs= Con.Execute( mySQL )

That return nothing even though Test has records for today..

Select All Records Less Than 10 Minutes Old?
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to write an SQL statement that will select all records that are less than 10 minutes old, using a datetime column?

Select Last 5 Records Entries?
I have an extremely basic MySQL table with 2 fields, "id" and "name". I want to be able to select the last 5 "name"s that have been entered into the database.

Cant Select More Than 1000 Records
Command "select * from table" whith 3000 records give me only 1000 rows. I can't figure out what is wrong. I think that something wrong is with my my.cnf but can't find which varaible I have to change.....

Select Records Without Relation.....
I've 2 tables and the relation between them is the id. I want only select the records from table A which are not present in table B!

Select Records That Are A Group
I have a table like this:

ITEMID CODE
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 3
2 4
3 1
3 2
4 3

where every item is a set of codes. For example,
ItemID 1 = (1,2,3)
ItemID 2 = (1,3,4)
ItemID 3 = (1,2)
ItemID 4 = (3)

How can I know if an item exists? For example, if (1,2,3) exists or if (1,2) exists?

I'm working with a MySQL Database, and VB.Net application.

Select Doesn't Show Some Records
This problem is driving me crazy. I've got a table with about 200 records in it. It contains a list of domains.

When I do a select * from table it works shows all records. But when I do a select * from table where url="http://www.xxxxxx.com/blahblah" it shows most records but it doesn't show certain ones. At something like record 150 to 160 select * from table where url="http://www.xxxxxx.com/blahblah" doesn't work.

So on about 10 records the select doesn't work it just returns 0 records. This is really confusing me because it's strange i've made certain the characters are exactly the same as the record i'm searching for(copy & paste as well) but it just shows 0 records.

Best Way To Select Records WITHOUT Relationship In Another Table?
I have a stock table and a stock_category_r table which is a relationship table between stock items (products) and stock categories (M:M relationship)

I need to select stock that is uncategorised. I.e Items that have not been related to ANY categories.

I was using this query with a subquery:

SELECT s.ID, s.code, s.name
FROM `stock` s WHERE s.ID NOT IN
(SELECT stockID FROM stock_category_r)
Just wondering if this was the most effecient way to find stock records that have no corresponding relationship in stock_catgegory_r ?
Do sub queries effect performance much?

My tables for this app have very few rows, but I'm interested in the best-practice theory

The table structure:

CREATE TABLE `stock` (
`ID` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`code` varchar(16) NOT NULL default '',
`name` varchar(40) NOT NULL default '',
`description` mediumtext NOT NULL,
`image` varchar(35) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`),
UNIQUE KEY `name` (`name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE TABLE `stock_category_r` (
`stockID` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default Ɔ',
`categoryID` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default Ɔ',
PRIMARY KEY (`stockID`,`categoryID`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Select Last N Records Matching A Query.
I am trying to select the last n records in a database which conform to criteria selected by a user. I gather that there is no "BOTTOM" equivalent to the "SELECT TOP" command. I've tried "SELECT... ORDER BY... LIMIT X,Y" but MySQL doesn't seem to take a second parameter for the LIMIT statement. Is there any way round this?

How To Select Records When No Activity For 20 Minutes
I have a problem, i have 31days, 24h loged activity (timestamp). If there was no recorded activity in the log for 20 minutes in this interval, i have to find when this happened (Record A, Record A+1).

Select Records In A Range Of Values
I have a figure that a user inputs into a php script for how many people an apartment sleeps. What I want to do is select all properties in a database where this is so. Ok, easy enough for now. What I also need to do is to select apartments that may sleep 1 or 2 people more as well.

So, for example, if a person asks for apartments that sleep 3 people, it should return all apertments that sleep 3 and 4 people (already got this working), but if the person asks for an aprtment that sleeps 6 people, it should give all apartments that sleep 6,7 and 8 people and if they ask for an apartment that sleeps 10 people then it should return all apartments that have more than 10 in teh sleeps field.

Select Unique Records From A Join?
I have two tables, both tables contain a matching JobID. Some records in the job table are not present in the joblocation table. I need to Select only those records. I thought I could just do a left join on the two tables with a not equal to where clause?

SELECT
job.JobLocation1,
job.City,
job.Province,
job.SiteName1,
job.Code,
job.JobID,
joblocation.JobID
FROM soileng.joblocation joblocation
LEFT OUTER JOIN soileng.job job ON joblocation.JobID = job.JobID
WHERE job.JobID != joblocation.JobID limit 100

Any ideas on how to get this to work?
