Selecting By Date Closest To Current Date
I have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE foo (
MyID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
MyDate DATE NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(MyID)
)
How can I select entries/rows of the above table which have MyDate closest to the current date? I.e. 2 rows which have MyDate set to '2004-7-15' and '2004-3-20'. The 1st row must be selected 'cos it's closer to the current date (2004-9-8).

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?

Getting Current Date
I am using this to get the date and time to store in a mysql db: PHP $date = date("m.d.y"); $time = date("H:i:s"); The field types I am storing them in are date and time format. Is this the best way to do it? Or are there time stamps that mysql can use automatically?

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.

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.

DateDiff :: Difference In Days And Current Date
I need to work out the difference in days between values in the database and the current date. "No problem," thought I , "I'll just use the SQL DATEDIFF command." Heh! Well, the user interface I'm using didn't even recognise DATEDIFF as being a function, so I decided to visit the mySQL website.

(Script) Create A Database With Current Date Appended
I'm trying to create a script that will create a database with the date appended, say database_200806231500(To the minute) and then create a bunch of tables. I haven't been able to use the 'SET' command for variables effectively, and no matter which shell script I run(I can run the create databases under a perl script, bash script, etc) I have a problem with executing the rest of the script as the 'USE' command doesn't seem to be carried through and I get the following error: ERROR 1046 (3D000) at line 8: No database selected Is what I'm trying to do possible with mysql? Here is the portion of my perl code which works, just when executing the last bit I get the above error: #!/usr/bin/perl # This perl script grabs the current date and uses that to create a # database, switches to that database, then calls the create_db.sql # script that sets up the tables. $date = `date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`; chomp($date); system('mysql -u *** -p -e 'drop database if exists activity_1_'.$date.'''); system('mysql -u *** -p -e 'create database activity_1_'.$date.'''); system('mysql -u *** -p -e 'use activity_1_'.$date.'''); system('mysql < create_db.sql');

Updating A Table Via Select, But Include Current Date
I have a table that's collecting the number of times a sponsor logo is shown and clicked. I'd like to run a daily job to gather that info into a separate table for later report generation. 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?

Selecting Rows With Date Between
I have a table that list names and birthdays. I'm trying to fetch birthdays for a two week interval starting with the current date, so that one could see the birthdays for a range from the current day and the next 14 days. This part of the query will work: WHERE week(dob) BETWEEN week(curdate()) AND week(DATE_ADD(curdate(),INTERVAL 14 DAY)) This string will return results, but it will include days of the current week that have already passed. But, if I try to do something like WHERE dob BETWEEN CURDATE() AND ADDDATE(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 14 DAY) I don't get any returns at all. This is on a MySQL 5 DB accessed via asp.net/vb page

Selecting A Date Range Using CURDATE()
When a user selects a page with the recordset I want it to list dates that fall into a certain range, related to CURDATE(). The range fields are start_date and end_date, which are both DATETIME column types. Using BETWEEN won't work because it won't list a date that starts BEFORE CURDATE() e.g. If CURDATE() is 2005-08-10 Then an event that has a start_date of 2005-08-06 and an end_date of 2005-08-26 won't show in the list, even though the date range does fall into the CURDATE() of 2005-08-10.

Selecting The Latest Date Entry
Basically I have a table containing these 4 fields selection_ID - user_ID - visit_date (date field) - period_of_day All I want to do is select one row - the one with the most recent visit_date for a particular user_ID. I am using mySql 4.0.22 (so NESTED SELECT doesn't work). I understand that there is a MAX function for getting the latest date but this seems to require GROUP BY, and I don't require a group of results. I have vainly been trying things like this: SELECT selection_ID, user_ID, visit_date, period_of_day FROM visits WHERE visit_date = visits.MAX(visit_date)

Selecting Events Based On Various Date Criterias
I'm a little stuck at how to tackle this one efficiently. I'll try to explain concisely... I have a form to search for events. Form fields include Postcode Event name Venue name When (radios) -> today -> tomorrow -> this weekend OR instead of 'When' they can choose a specific date. In the events table there are a various columns including startdate (of type datetime). There is also a column for each day of the week that the event is repeated. For example, if the event is repeated on a monday then the column 'repeat_mo will' have a value of 1. My difficulty lies in creating a query to retrieve all the relevant results. For example, a search could include the following variables from the form: postcode -> YO14 7LX when -> tomorrow So I'd need to go to the events table and retrieve all rows that have a similar postcode, a start date that is tomorrow OR has been flagged as being repeated every wednesday. The postcode bit is fine and getting tomorrow date (with php) is fine. But how do I put it all together to also take into account the repeat day flags?

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?

This all works great. I also have two fields that use the "Date" and "Time" types for holding the date and time of the initial transaction. I've created a seperate php script that we will use for our "end of month" reports. The script goes through and adds up the cost of each "purchase" between a specified time frame (1 may thru 31 may for example). This script works for me as long as I perform my query with my condition formated as such:
