Question

I store standard date ( with this format: (‘Y-m-d H:i:s’) ) in mysql database, now i want to select records that match this standard date with current date, in other word i want to select the rows where standard_date field demonstrate today’s date.

Answer 1

use DATE() to strip off time in the datetime column. CURDATE() returns the current date.

SELECT *
FROM   tableName
WHERE  DATE(standard_date) = CURDATE()
