I want to compare a date from a database that is between 2 given dates. The column from the database is DATETIME, and I want to compare it only to the date format, not the datetime format.
SELECT * FROM `players` WHERE CONVERT(CHAR(10),us_reg_date,120) >= '2000-07-05' AND CONVERT(CHAR(10),us_reg_date,120) <= '2011-11-10'
I get this error when I execute the SQL above:
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 'us_reg_date,120) >= '2000-07-05' AND CONVERT(CHAR(10),us_reg_date,120) <= '2011-' at line 1
How can this problem be fixed?
MySQL has the ability to compare two different dates written as a string expression. When you need to compare dates between a date column and an arbitrary date, you can use the DATE() function to extract the date part from your column and compare it with a string that represents your desired date.
Here we will see, SQL Query to compare two dates. This can be easily done using equals to(=), less than(<), and greater than(>) operators. In SQL, the date value has DATE datatype which accepts date in 'yyyy-mm-dd' format. To compare two dates, we will declare two dates and compare them using the IF-ELSE statement.
You can try below query,
select * from players where us_reg_date between '2000-07-05' and DATE_ADD('2011-11-10',INTERVAL 1 DAY)
