Date And Unix Timestamp Comparison
i have a field in my database called 'release' that contains a date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, except its stored as text and not in the date format.
I need to exclude certain results from my query based on how recent it was released and im having a hard time.
ive been trying to use this...
SELECT title FROM products
WHERE release< FROM_UNIXTIME(unix_timestamp(now()) - 183*86400,'%Y-%m-%d') ;

Using CURDATE With UNIX Timestamp
I have a table where the dates are stored in UNIX timestamp format. I'm trying to use the CURDATE term for a select query but it isn't working. Does CURDATE work with the UNIX time stamp? Any help is appreciated. here's the query: select first_name, last_name, date_expires, title from cl_member, `user`, cl_chapter where cl_member.user_id=`user`.user_id and cl_member.chapter_id=cl_chapter.chapter_id and cl_member.chapter_id=14 and month(date_expires)=month(CURDATE()) ORDER BY last_name

Inserting Current Unix Timestamp
I am working on coding a query to generate a phpBB useraccount in the mySQL database.

Can't Insert A Unix Timestamp Into Mysql
Just upgraded to 4.1.8 and when I create a field with a date value (field is trdate), it always has default of 0000-00-00. And when I insert values with unix timestamp values (which I prefer, and they come from php's strtotime function),the record does not insert properly. I tried to set, through phpmyadmin, unix/current timestamp and to no avail. If I use a strtotime php function to convert a date into a timestamp, what is the proven way to make sure that value is saved during inserts? I am on the mysql manual, searched this board, but nothing works.

Unix Date Problems
1) I was investigating the unix_timestamp routine in mysql (version 3.23.46-nt) and for some reason the unix epoch (1-1-1970) was returned with a value of -3600. Then, as you can see, it suddenly corrected itself. I can't replicate this error, but it caused me to shudder. Attached is the output from the command line client. 2) The function from_unixtime(n) wraps on my server after 2^31 seconds. e.g. select from_unixtime(2147483648) returns "1900-01-00 00:00:00". I suspect this is caused by the underlying time_t size that mysql was compiled with. Is this so? Are any versions of mysql compiled with a larger time_t? +---------------------------+ | from_unixtime(2147483648) | +---------------------------+ | 1900-01-00 00:00:00 | +---------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select unix_timestamp(); +------------------+ | u................................

Date Comparison Problem
I have a website with a diary of events. I have just come across this problem: The diary is listed on the site month by month - you can click a month and events for that month will show up. Events have a from date and to date and can span across multiple months. This has all been working fine until I added an event running from december 06 to january 07 - it no longer showed up. Here is how my query looked: (using december 2006 as the selected page as an example) SELECT * FROM diary WHERE (MONTH(from_date) <= MONTH(��-12-01') AND MONTH(to_date) >= MONTH(��-12-01') AND YEAR(from_date) = YEAR(��-12-01')) OR (MONTH(from_date) <= MONTH(��-12-01') AND MONTH(to_date) >= MONTH(��-12-01') AND YEAR(to_date) = YEAR(��-12-01')) ORDER BY from_date, to_date Now looking back it is obvious that this will not work as it is looking for a match in the years. After some research and trial and error I have come up with the following query: SELECT * FROM diary WHERE (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(��-12-01') BETWEEN UNIX_TIMESTAMP(from_date) AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP(to_date)) ORDER BY from_date, to_date However this is still not working. This is really bugging me and any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Date Vs Timestamp
I have a somewhat large table (about 900,000 rows). I regularly need to run many queries against this table and it's is rather slow. Before making any major changes, I wanted to confirm whether the following changes would help. Right now, I run a query like this: SELECT count(*) FROM refer WHERE date >= '$date1' AND date <= '$date2' However, "date" is actually of type timestamp. So I have an index on the field, but it has the same cardinality as the number of rows, as you might expect. I've also heard using a reserved word of 'date' can be a problem, but not sure if that's a performance issue. I think I may occasionally still need this level of granularity for some things, but 99% of the time, I really only need the actual date for my SELECT statements. I'm thinking it might be best to create a field2 that is of type date and use that for the queries, with an index, and drop the index on field1 altogether. The more I think about the more I'm convinced the way I'm doing it now is the reason it is so slow. Can someone please confirm my stupidity?

Timestamp :: Registration Date
As a newbie to MySQL and PHP, I have been able to set up MySQL as test server on my MacOS X and have also succeeded in connecting my test sites registration form to the proper table in MySQL. Everything works fine except getting MySQL to insert the registration date/time automatically as a new record is posted. I have created two "Timestamp"-date columns - the first one for "Change date" and the second for "Registration date". According to what I can gather from reading, this should do the trick, but it doesn't. No date or time is inserted in the registration date field. Can someone explain (in newbie terms) what I am doing wrong and what I should do to make it work? I want the registration date to be filled-in automatically in every new record and then stay unchanged even if other parts of the record are changed.

It was succesful though if is use the TIMESTAMP type in the column and is using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the dafault value. mysql automatically inserts the current date and time to the database everytime a new record is inserted. The problem with using TIMESTAMP is that i only want the date and not the additional time. Is there a default value I can use for the DATE function instead of using TIMESTAMP?

Using TCP/IP Instead Of Unix Sockets
An associate has asked me to take a look a problem he's having with starting mysql. I thought I'd give it a shot to learn some more about mySQL before having him turn it over to someone more knowledgeable than I. But I have to ask here first. Attempting to connect to the database via mysqladmin or mysql results in the error (paraphrased) "Cannot connect to local database using socket "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock". That is the path to the socked specifiet in both mysqld and client sections of the my.cnf. mysqladmin -h `hostname` version shows that the Connection is via TCP/IP rather than Unix Sockets. Running on Redhat Linux AE 3 (I think) /var/lib/mysql is world-writable-readable, but it is not owned by user mysql (my next attempt to fix this) /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock is 777. My question: What would be causing mysqld to be using TCP rather than Unix sockets? I've checked permissions, verified settings in my.cnf (which is very sparse... other entries are for logging), confirmed mysqld is running and accessible via TCP/IP.

Unix Socket Vs TCP Mode
Our mysql database always run smoothness, but there have a strange question always happy. We retrieve content using unix socket mode is always Correct, using TCP mode sometime will meet no return Error. What's wrong with TCP mode? For example, We need to retrieve content from table Tab_Memo, the condition with ‘large’ is over 20KB, with ‘small’ is about ‘5KB’. Using unix socket mode: ---------------------------------- mysql -u root -p password 1、select * from Tab_Memo where name = ‘large’; // The result is Correct. 2、select * from Tab_Memo where name = ‘small’; //The result is Correct. Using unix socket mode ---------------------------------- 1、select * from Tab_Memo where name = ‘large’; // NO result return. 2、select * from Tab_Memo where name = ‘small’; //The result is Correct.

Comparison Optimization
On to my problem. I'm running a query on a table with over 100,000 rows in it. Basically, my query is performing a "similar" check on books that people have logged in their "book list". It looks through the table and checks to see who has the most number of books similar to you. Here's the query: select count(a.mem_id) as numMatches,m.username,m.mem_id as memberID from book_list a LEFT JOIN book_list_members m ON a.mem_id=m.mem_id where a.book_id in(224,164,30,43,47,1,6,52,90,45,120,270,...,2442) GROUP BY a.mem_id ORDER BY numMatches DESC LIMIT 50 In the in() comparison, this can be anywhere from 1 integer to 1000 integers, it all depends on how many books a user has in their list. I've indexed "book_id", but unfortunately if there are more than say, 100 elements in the IN() comparison, the query takes anywhere from 1-2 seconds to execute. That's a long time when I have hundreds of users hitting a website and running that query. Is there a better way to do this? Is there a way I can "store" this query result somewhere, and only have it updated every couple hours (cached in other words, for immediate access).

However, if a user types in the form they want all the books between 3.0 and 3.2 -- MySQL returns all the 3.0 and 3.1 books, but returns none of the 3.2 level books.
