All,

I have a MYSQL table with a column called timestamp. It is of DATETIME datatype and has values like “10/1/2009 3:25:08 PM’, “10/1/2009 3:30:05 PM’, “10/4/2009 3:40:01 PM’, etc..

I want to write a SQL query to select all the values in the timestamp field occuring between two dates.. something like this:

select timestamp from tablename where timestamp >= userStartDate and timestamp <= userEndDate

The userInput dates will not have time portions. Can you please suggest the correct MySQL Query Syntax for this?
Thanks

    SELECT timestamp
FROM   tablename
WHERE  timestamp >= userStartDate
       AND timestamp < userEndDate + INTERVAL 1 DAY

    This will select every record having date portion between userStartDate and userEndDate, provided that these fields have type of DATE (without time portion).

    If the start and end dates come as strings, use STR_TO_DATE to convert from any given format:

    SELECT timestamp
FROM   tablename
WHERE  timestamp >= STR_TO_DATE('01/11/2010', '%m/%d/%Y')
       AND timestamp < STR_TO_DATE('01/12/2010', '%m/%d/%Y') + INTERVAL 1 DAY
