Question

I have a quick and asap issue.

SELECT `deals`.*
  FROM `deals`
  WHERE
    `is_featured` = 1 AND
    `status` = 'active' AND
    CURDATE() BETWEEN start_date AND DATE_ADD(end_date, INTERVAL 1 DAY)
  ORDER BY `end_date` DESC
  LIMIT 1

Is this right?

start_date is “2012-01-11 00:00:00” and end_date is “2012-01-11 23:59:59”.

This is what I wish to show:

I want to show the dealoffer that is between the current datetime and if the is_featured is 1 and status are “active”.

(CURDATE() gives me only date, not time, is this the problem? How can I get current datetime in MySql?).

It should only pick one deal and this deal should be the one with the closest end date from current datetime.

Here is your original query

SELECT `deals`.* FROM `deals`
WHERE `is_featured` = 1
AND `status` = 'active'
AND CURDATE() BETWEEN start_date AND DATE_ADD(end_date, INTERVAL 1 DAY)
ORDER BY `end_date` DESC
LIMIT 1;

Replace the BETWEEN with this

SELECT `deals`.* FROM `deals`
WHERE `is_featured` = 1
AND `status` = 'active'
AND start_date >= (CURDATE() + INTERVAL 0 SECOND)
AND start_date <= (end_date + INTERVAL 1 DAY)
ORDER BY `end_date` DESC
LIMIT 1;

and add this index

ALTER TABLE deals ADD INDEX (is_featured,status,start_date,end_date);
