Question

Is there anyway I can make this statement smaller? for efficiency, the whole idea is to get
todays, this month and last months amount of “quotes”.

    SELECT COUNT(QuoteDate) AS today
    FROM database
    WHERE QuoteDate >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)

    UNION

    SELECT COUNT(QuoteDate) AS this_month
    FROM database
    WHERE QuoteDate >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)

    UNION

    SELECT COUNT(QuoteDate) AS last_month
    FROM database 
    WHERE QuoteDate >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 2 MONTH)

Thanks

Couldn’t you just use an OR statement?

 SELECT COUNT(QuoteDate) AS today FROM database
    WHERE 
     QuoteDate >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
     OR 
     QuoteDate >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
     OR
     QuoteDate >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 2 MONTH)
