Question

I have made this working sql query to count the ads the user has in total ->

SELECT count(*) FROM `table_name` WHERE `user_id` = 20;

So this shows how many ads the user has in total. What I want to add is how many ads the user added in the last 7 days… so I have a column in table_name called “created_date”… so can somebody please help me how to count the user ads by “created_date” from now to last 7 days please?

Thank you

Answer 1

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM   table_name
WHERE  user_id = 20 AND created_date > NOW() - INTERVAL 7 DAY

More generally, look at MySQL’s date functions for all sorts of advanced date handling.
