Question

I would like to rows that have only been entered in the last 1 day.

I have a date column which stores YYYY-MM-DD, and I allow the user to send a date that they want to look at in this format yyymmdd how can I use this data to limit it to the previous day only?

I would imagine it is something to do with the BETWEEN keyword but I cant figure it out.

Answer 1

This query:

SELECT  *
FROM    mytable
WHERE   mydate >= STR_TO_DATE('110321', '%y%m%d') - INTERVAL 1 DAY
        AND mydate < STR_TO_DATE('110321', '%y%m%d')

will return all records for Mar 20, 2011
