Question

I have table which contains 2 date fields. Like:

id      from             to
---     ----             --
1       2012-01-01       2012-01-05
2       2012-01-04       2012-01-10
3       2012-01-03       2012-01-07

I want to use a date (ex: 2012-01-06) to check if the date is between any of the dates(from, to) in the table.

For this case, I want to get id – 2,3. how can I do this?

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM table WHERE "2012-01-06" BETWEEN `from` and `to`

or

SELECT * FROM table WHERE `from` <= "2012-01-06" AND "2012-01-06" <= `to`
