Question

hi i have players table in mysql .

i need to select inactive players who have not played a match for 6 months in the league .

for example ->

select * from players where player (matchplayed == true && (in last 6 months condition));

i am newbie in mysql

so will like some help how to deal with time .

Answer 1

some thing like this may work:

SELECT * from players where player_matchplayed == true
 && lastmatch_played_date > DATE_SUB(curdate(),INTERVAL 6 MONTH);

DATE_SUB(curdate(),INTERVAL 6 MONTH) will give you the interval of last six months from current date. Which you can use to check the lastmatch_playeddate is greater than it or not.

Hope this helps .
