I can normally do this but it appears my brain is not functioning well right now and I’m missing something.

Every day via a cron job that is run at 1am, I want to get a count of rows that were inserted yesterday, and the date.

ie

 SELECT DATE(added) as date, COUNT(*) FROM bookings WHERE added = DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) GROUP BY date

‘added’ contains a timestamp ie ‘2011-04-18 12:31:31’

What am I getting wrong here? I know there are many rows added yesterday but my query is returning 0 results and no mysql_errors 🙁

Any ideas?

    Please try

    SELECT DATE(added) as yesterday, COUNT(*) FROM bookings WHERE DATE(added) = DATE(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)) GROUP BY yesterday

    or perhaps

    SELECT DATE(added) as yesterday, COUNT(*) FROM bookings WHERE DATE(added) = DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) GROUP BY yesterday

    Updated
    Corrected the WHERE part.
