Question

We have table structure like

id | startDay | startMonth | startYear | endDay | endMonth | endYear    
1  | 22       | 12         | 2012      | 25     | 1        | 2013  

Now we have another date range like startDate,startMonth, startYear i.e. 25|12|2012 and endDay,endMonth,endYear i.e 10|1|2013.

I want the query to get the records from table where provided date range is present in table. Means record first in this case.
How to write query for this?

Answer 1

First, take @MarcB‘s advice. But if you don’t have time to alter your table, alternatively, you can also use the following query.

SELECT *
FROM tableName
WHERE ('2012-12-25' BETWEEN DATE(CONCAT_WS('-', startYear, startMonth, startDay)) AND
                  DATE(CONCAT_WS('-', endYear, endMonth, endDay))) AND
      ('2013-01-10' BETWEEN DATE(CONCAT_WS('-', startYear, startMonth, startDay)) AND
                  DATE(CONCAT_WS('-', endYear, endMonth, endDay)))
