Question

In my table I have a field named eventdate in datetime format like 2010-05-11 00:00:00.

How do i make a query so that it adds one day to the eventdate eg if today is 2010-05-11, i want to show in where clause to return all records with tomorrow’s date.

Update:

I tried this:

select * from fab_scheduler where custid = 1334666058 and DATE_ADD(eventdate, INTERVAL 1 DAY)


But unfortunately it returns the same record even if i add an interval greater than 1.

Result:

2010-05-12 00:00:00

But i only want to select records with tomorrow’s date.

Answer 1

You can use the DATE_ADD() function:

... WHERE DATE(DATE_ADD(eventdate, INTERVAL -1 DAY)) = CURRENT_DATE

It can also be used in the SELECT statement:

SELECT DATE_ADD('2010-05-11', INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS Tomorrow;
+------------+
| Tomorrow   |
+------------+
| 2010-05-12 |
+------------+
