Question

I have one query I am using following query to select record from MySQL

mysql> select VID from tm_visitor where DATE(INTIME)=DATE('2012-08-01');

then I am getting result as

+--------+
| VID    |
+--------+
| 000001 |
| 000002 |
| 000003 |
| 000004 |
+--------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

But when I use query as

mysql> select VID from tm_visitor where DATE(INTIME)=DATE('01-AUG-2012'); 

it gives me nothing

Empty set, 8 warnings (0.00 sec)

How to solve this?

Answer 1

try this

select VID from tm_visitor where DATE(INTIME) = STR_TO_DATE('01-AUG-2012', '%d-%b-%y')
