Question

I am having a table like..

    | id | name             | meetingID | meeting_type | status | recurring_time | attendee_passwd | moderator_passwd | date_created        | timezone  | meeting_datetime    | reminder | duration | created_by_id | sms_no | conferenceID | meeting_logout_url | max_participants | participants_id |
    +----+------------------+-----------+--------------+--------+----------------+-----------------+------------------+---------------------+-----------+---------------------+----------+----------+---------------+--------+--------------+--------------------+------------------+-----------------+
|  7 | 6august          | REG_524   |              |   NULL |                | 90200           | 18614            | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | GMT  5.45 | 2012-08-06 03:00:00 |        0 | 60       |             1 |  12356 |         NULL | http://log.com     |               20 |            NULL |

I am trying to filter the table by current date so for i am using the following query

 SELECT *  from demo_meeting WHERE created_by_id IN(SELECT id FROM demo_user WHERE user_name = ' Sang') and meeting_datetime=curdate();

But i am getting the empty set instead of getting the result.

please tell me what i am doing wrong here

Answer 1

You are comparing a datetime with a date.

Try casting your datetime to a date, like this:

SELECT *  from demo_meeting WHERE created_by_id IN ( SELECT id FROM demo_user WHERE user_name = ' Sang') AND DATE(meeting_datetime) = curdate();
