Question

I want to retrieve data whose Date between start and end date is between today and after ten day.I’m doing it in rails but even if i get the query in MySQL i can convert it to rails active record.

Something like this one :

select * from users where( between users.from and users.to =  between '2012-11-25 11:52:33' and '2012-12-05 11:52:33')

Answer 1

The interval (a, b) overlaps with (c, d) iff a < d and b > c. Also, the curdate() function returns the current date (“today”). To calculate the date ten days into the future you can use + interval 10 day.

Combining these bits of information you get:

select ... where users.to > curdate() 
and users.from < curdate() + interval 10 day
