Question

In my table I have two fields: start_date and end_date. I’m just trying to retrieve rows where the current date is between the start and end dates. For some reason, I am not getting this at all. I’ve tried using between, but I keep getting empty sets even though I know that there are records that exist… I don’t think I’m thinking about this clearly… Anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

SELECT  *
FROM    mytable
WHERE   SYSDATE() BETWEEN start_date AND end_date

Make sure your start_date and end_date are DATE or DATETIME, not VARCHAR.
