Comparing Dates And Choosing
if( date_add(cur_date(), interval 30 day)>='$thisDate','$thisDate',date_add(cur_date(),interval 30 day)
So: if the current date plus 30 days is larger then thisDate, use thisDate else use the current date plus 30 days.

Comparing Dates?
i have an 8 digit date string that i want to compare to a column of type 'date' in a MySQL db. the 8 digit string is in the format 'CCYYMMDD'. the question is: do i need to put it into the 'CCYY-MM-DD' format in order to get correct output from the datediff function, or can i simply leave it how it is?

Comparing Two Dates?
I am trying to compare dates in MySQL, but one of my dates from the curdate()-1 method, returns a string that looks like this 20081210 curdate() method returns '2008-12-11' Both are not dates, so they will not compare. Here is my query: SELECT Order_Number FROM <TableName> WHERE date(Order_Date) BETWEEN curdate() AND curdate() -7;

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?

On Choosing The Right Type For A Column
The online MySql manual gives advice on column types for the most efficient use of storage, but I can't find any advice on column types for the most efficient use of computer cycles. I know on some machines it may be faster always to use (say) fixed length strings and unsigned integers, even if these types take up more storage than is strictly needed. Does any reader of this ng have an informed opinion on this matter?

Choosing Index Type
I use mysql 5.0.18. I need some advice in what type of index to prefer when using MEMORY tables - BTREE or HASH? I want to put in memory several tables with number of rows from 100 throuh 20000 in each. Not a lot I guess. My memory tables contain a kind of vocabulary with common table structure like create table: ( id int, name CHAR(200), primary key (id), {key | unique key} `name` (name) ) There can be duplicates in some columns but I feel it would not be many of them. Is it possible to gain meaningful time profit from choosing one index type and not the other when selecting from such tables? (selects may contain many joins with these tables)

Choosing Storage Engine
I am setting up a database and I was wondering what storage engine to use, MyIsam or InnoDB. First of all I am looking for the most trustworthy solution. I have been searching the forum, but I could not find a definitive answer. I did find that MyIsam is faster than InnoDB, but InnoDB provides better data integrity and would even be more robust. I do not need full-text searching. I foresee to access the database using PHP/Apache. InnoDB would be the best way to go then, right? Second question, if it was not for full-text searching, why would anyone choose for MyIsam, is it really that faster?

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 ' '

Update String Dates Into Mysql Dates
I've got a table that someone created with varchar fields for month, day, and year. I've added a DATE field to the table, and now I want to combine all three of these strings into one DATE and stick it into the DATE field. Once I've got this done, I can delete those three varchar fields and just have the nice DATE field. Here's the command I've tried in several variations but no luck--syntax errors every time: UPDATE SET OCR_Entry_Date = date_format(str_to_date(concat_ws('-', OCR_MM, OCR_DD , OCR_YYYY) ,"%b-%d-%Y"), "%m-%d-%Y") WHERE OCR_YYYY = '1974' OCR_Entry_Date is a DATE field and the others are the varchar fields. My logic is basically: 1. concatenate the separate field values into a single string 2. convert the string into a date 3. format the date in the way I'd like it in the table

MSSQL Dates -> MySQL Dates Automatically?
We're using data feeds that were originally meant for MS SQL and the dates in the data feed (tab delimited text files) are formated like: Oct 21 2007 In MySQL, the date fields are formatted as datetime fields and when we do an import the dates all come through as 0000-00-00 00:00:00. We're importing using the MySQL "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" command and just dumping the text files right into freshly truncated tables. Is there a way when loading the files to find and replace the dates maybe? Can MySQL convert the dates? I have a shell script downloading an archive and uncompressing, then it runs a PHP script that loops through the files runningt he LOAD DATA command. Any advice would be appreciated... I'm just looking for the easiest (and least server-intensive) way to get the date issue fixed. We've already tried begging the vendor but they're not yet ready to start supporting other date formats (even though their MS SQL db can output a date format friendly to MySQL). Thanks!

List All The Dates Between 2 Given Dates Using SELECT
how I can list all the dates between 2 dates (inclusive) using SELECT sql statement in mysql? I have a member table with the following columns: id int autoincrement name varchar(40) join_date date I want the following output (date, count of members joined on that date): 1 April 2009...... (2 members joined) 2 April 2009...... (0 members joined) 3 April 2009...... (3 members joined) .....so on ...upto 30 April 2009.....(1 members joined) For the above output I need the SQL command that is valid in mysql. Is there anyone who can produce the above result with a single SELECT command. Please don't suggest that is possible using php for loop or creating a mysqlorary table first and then inserting all the dates into it. Then make a join between mysql table and members table using date as GROUP by column etc. etc. I know this is possible using some user variables as I searched through the various SQL tutorial sites. But I am unable to figure out how I can produce a list of all dates between 2 given dates.

Comparing Columns Using LIKE

Comparing A Csv To A Db Table
How would I go about comparing values in a CSV file to a table in the database, and then removing any rows where that value (an email address) matches? Is this something I can do in phpMySQL or will I need to create a separate PHP script or something? I maintain a mailing list using something called ListMessenger. It's a great web application, but the one major drawback is that it doesn't have a way to handle bounces. Over the course of 5-6 years, I'm now up to around 800-900 bounced emails every time I send out a newsletter. I'd really like to clean up the list and I was able to extract all the bounced address from my email client. I'm just not sure how to do it. I actually have an idea of what needs to be done... it's more the actual code to make it happen that I'm not sure of. I'm thinking it would be something like this: 1. Open csv file and read values into an array 2. Run a SQL statement that removes any rows from the "users" table if the "email_address" field matches any of the addresses in the array. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can get into more specifics as far as the table/column names and stuff,
