Question

I’m having a date field of datatype datetime,even though H:s:i is stored but I don’t want take into consideration in validations for that I’m using CURDATE() in where condition of query but ‘H:S:i’ is being considering, for example

SELECT ('2013-01-10 05:10:50' <= CURDATE()) FROM dual

Above query returns false(0),why not true(1) because 2013-01-10 05:10:50 is a past time. In short, I want to store ‘H:s:i’ but should not consider while validating for that which MySql function will be suitable ?

Updated below content

I don’t want use NOW() and SYSDATE() because these functions will consider H:s:i while validating,So that I’ve used CURDATE() but expected result is differ when I’m using CURDATE().

You can try this:

SELECT DATE('2013-01-10 05:10:50') <= CURDATE() FROM DUAL;

SELECT '2013-01-10 05:10:50' <= DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%Y-%m-%d 23:59:59') FROM DUAL;
