Question

I have a mysql database with a table structure like below :

Table Name : shop_mst
Fields : 
shop_name     varchar(100)
start_time    time
close_time    time

Time is stored in 24Hour format. Now I want to create a sql query to display all the records but show Shop status as Open/Closed based on current time. So if the current time comes in between start_time & close_time, then it should show “Open” with Shop name. And if it is not, it should show “Closed” with Shop name. How can I do that? I also want to compare Day with a field in another table but that part I will do myself 🙂

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try below :

select shop_name,if(left(curtime(),5) between start_time  and close_time ,'Open','Closed') as status 
from tablename

Assuming you storing star_time and close_time in 18:30,16:15 … Format.
