Question

MY query looks like this:

SELECT COUNT(entryID) 
FROM table 
WHERE date >= DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)

Will this count the rows whose date values are within the day (starting at 12:00; not within 24 hours)? If not, how do I do so?

Answer 1

The following should be enough to get records within the current day:

SELECT COUNT(entryID) 
FROM table 
WHERE date >= CURDATE()

As Michael notes in the comments, it looks at all records within the last two days in its current form.

The >= operator is only necessary if date is actually a datetime – if it’s just a date type, = should suffice.
