Question

I have two columns of type time, 24 hours. They define a range of when someone is available. Example:

10:00:00    14:30:00

Is there an easy way to do a query that asks if the current time is between those two columns? Apologies if this is basic, couldn’t find an easy way to do it while browsing the MySQL time/date functions

Answer 1

Try something like this. I’d have to test it to be certain.

SELECT * FROM `available_table` WHERE ( TIME(NOW()) > `begin_time` AND TIME(NOW()) < `end_time` )
