Question

here is my user_crime_details table:

When I try this query:

SELECT * 
FROM (`user_crime_details`)
WHERE  `group_id` =  '1'
AND  `insert_date` = CURDATE( ) 
OR  `last_update_date` = CURDATE( ) 
ORDER BY  `id` DESC 

This is always the result:

You can see the results are wrong because the group_id’s not equal to 1 were also selected.
Is there something wrong with my query? Pls help.

Answer 1

you need to group the condition by adding parenthesis on the OR part.

WHERE  group_id =  1  AND  
       (insert_date = CURDATE() OR  last_update_date = CURDATE())

and which is the same as

WHERE  group_id =  1 AND CURDATE() IN (insert_date, last_update_date)

PS: the backticks around the columns are optional since the names are not on the list of reserved keywords in MySQL.
