Question

I have the following Mysql Table

Order table 
status 0 - incomplete
status 1 - complete  

PO_invoice| Company| transactionType| Amt_Paid | Balance | Status| dateCreated|
 1001     | Astek  |               3|     10000|    10000|    0  |2012-10-15  |
 1002     | Asrack |               2|     20000|        0|    1  |2012-10-20  |  

Transaction table

It contains the explanation of the mode of payment

• if type 1 then the full amount should be paid on the same day
• if type 2 then the 50% on same day and after
• 30 days other 50% amount should be paid
• if type 3 then the 60% on same day and after

• 60 days other 60% amount should be paid

  transactionType | noDays | PercentSplit  |
  
                 1|      0 |            0  |
                 2|     30 |            50 |
                 3|     60 |            60 |
  

I am trying to track the orders which are due for payment

currently i am joining the two tables on transaction type and status 0

$query = "select Order.PO_invoice, Order.Company, Order.Amt_Paid, Order.Balance,
          Order.dateCreated, Transaction.noDays,Transaction.PercentSplit 
          INNER JOIN Transaction
          ON Order.transactionType = Transaction.transactionType AND
           Order.status =0"

and looping in PHP, and checking if the

currentTime - Order.dateCreated  > = Transaction.noDays

if it is then display the row else skip the row.

I want to know whether there is a way to do this in MYSQL only and return only those rows.

Answer 1

have you tried –

WHERE DATEDIFF(NOW(),Order.dateCreated) >= Transaction.noDays
