SQL to Return Dates for Selected Week Only - sql

I'm writing a SQL query on a timesheet report. I need the report to return only the details for the week of the selected date.
E.g., if I pick 02/01/2012 (dd/MM/yyyy), then it should only return results between 02/01/2012 and 08/01/2012.
Thanks


SELECT
*
FROM
yourTable
WHERE
dateField >= #yourDate
AND dateField < #yourDate + 7
Some variations of SQL may have specific ways of adding 7 days to a datevalue. Such as...
- DateAdd(Day, 7, #date)
- DATE_ADD(#date, INTERVAL 7 DAYS)
- etc, etc
This option is both index friendly, and is resilient to database fields that have time parts as well as date parts.


You easiest is the equivalent of WEEK_OF_YEAR function in your SQL engine
But you can also use DATE_ADD
WHERE table.date BETWEEN target_date AND DATE_ADD(target_date,INTERVAL 7 DAY)


That depends on the database system you're using. MySQL has a function calles WEEK(), SQL Server can do something like this with the DATEPART() function:
MySQL:
SELECT
*
FROM table
WHERE WEEK(date_col) = WEEK('02/01/2012');
SQL SERVER:
SELECT
*
FROM table
WHERE DATEPART(WEEK, datecol) = DATEPART(WEEK,'02/01/2012');


SELECT * FROM table_name
WHERE date BETWEEN '1/02/2012' AND '1/08/2012';
you can replace the example date with your date and yourdate + 6.

SQL SELECT STATEMENT FOR TODAY

I have been battling for two days now, please could someone give me a bit of assistance on below. I am trying to select data where a date field/column must equal today's date.
SELECT *
FROM stock
WHERE DATE(PREVSELLPRICE1DATE)=DATE(now());
Please assist if you can, I need to rollout this report.

it is better not to manipulate DATE column using functions like TRUNC to mach the date without hour precision (matching year-month-day), it recommended for performance to use something like:
SELECT *
FROM stock
WHERE PREVSELLPRICE1DATE between trunc(sysdate) and trunc(sysdate+1)
this way you'll compare for the required day only + the TRUNC function will be applied only 2 times instead of on each row.

For sql server below is fine:
SELECT *
FROM stock
WHERE CAST(PREVSELLPRICE1DATE as date) = CAST(GETDATE() as date)
Below script
select cast(getdate() as date)
will give you result:
2017-06-29

SQL Server: how to select records with specific date from datetime column

I have a table with one column dateX formatted as datetime and containing standard dates.
How can I select all records from this table where this dateX equals a certain date, e.g. May 9, 2014 ?
I tried the following, but this returns nothing even if I have several records with this date.
SELECT *
FROM dbo.LogRequests
WHERE (CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), dateX, 101) = '09/05/14')
Edit: In the database the above example looks as follows, using SQL 2012: 2014-05-09 00:00:00.000

The easiest way is to convert to a date:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.LogRequests
WHERE cast(dateX as date) = '2014-05-09';
Often, such expressions preclude the use of an index. However, according to various sources on the web, the above is sargable (meaning it will use an index), such as this and this.
I would be inclined to use the following, just out of habit:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.LogRequests
WHERE dateX >= '2014-05-09' and dateX < '2014-05-10';

For Perfect DateTime Match in SQL Server
SELECT ID FROM [Table Name] WHERE (DateLog between '2017-02-16 **00:00:00.000**' and '2017-12-16 **23:59:00.999**') ORDER BY DateLog DESC

SELECT *
FROM LogRequests
WHERE cast(dateX as date) between '2014-05-09' and '2014-05-10';
This will select all the data between the 2 dates

How to query for today's date and 7 days before data?

I'm using sql server 2008. How to query out a data which is the date is today and 7 days before today ?

Try this way:
select * from tab
where DateCol between DateAdd(DD,-7,GETDATE() ) and GETDATE()

Query in Parado's answer is correct, if you want to use MySql too instead GETDATE() you must use (because you've tagged this question with Sql server and Mysql):
select * from tab
where DateCol between adddate(now(),-7) and now()

How to get one day ahead of a given date?

Suppose I have a date 2010-07-29. Now I would like to check the result of one day ahead. how to do that
For example,
SELECT *
from table
where date = date("2010-07-29")
How to do one day before without changing the string "2010-07-29"?
I searched and get some suggestion from web and I tried
SELECT *
from table
where date = (date("2010-07-29") - 1 Day)
but failed.

MySQL
SELECT *
FROM TABLE t
WHERE t.date BETWEEN DATE_SUB('2010-07-29', INTERVAL 1 DAY)
AND '2010-07-29'
Change DATE_SUB to DATE_ADD if you want to add a day (and reverse the BETWEEN parameters).
SQL Server
SELECT *
FROM TABLE t
WHERE t.date BETWEEN DATEADD(dd, -1, '2010-07-29')
AND '2010-07-29'
Oracle
SELECT *
FROM TABLE t
WHERE t.date BETWEEN TO_DATE('2010-07-29', 'YYYY-MM-DD') - 1
AND TO_DATE('2010-07-29', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
I used BETWEEN because the date column is likely DATETIME (on MySQL & SQL Server, vs DATE on Oracle), which includes the time portion so equals means the value has to equal exactly. These queries give you the span of a day.

If you're using Oracle, you can use the + and - operators to add a number of days to a date.
http://psoug.org/reference/date_func.html
Example:
SELECT SYSDATE + 1 FROM dual;
Will yield tomorrow's date.
If you're not using Oracle, please tell use what you ARE using so we can give better answers. This sort of thing depends on the database you are using. It will NOT be the same across different databases.

Depends of the DateTime Functions available on the RDBMS
For Mysql you can try:
mysql> SELECT DATE_ADD('1997-12-31',
-> INTERVAL 1 DAY);
mysql> SELECT DATE_SUB('1998-01-02', INTERVAL 31 DAY);
-> '1997-12-02'

If youre using MSSQL, you're looking for DateAdd() I'm a little fuzzy on the syntax, but its something like:
Select * //not really, call out your columns
From [table]
Where date = DateAdd(dd, -1, "2010-07-29",)
Edit: This syntax should be correct: it has been updated in response to a comment.
I may have the specific parameters in the wrong order, but that should get you there.

In PL SQL : select sysdate+1 from dual;

SQL Server: Get data for only the past year

I am writing a query in which I have to get the data for only the last year. What is the best way to do this?
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE date > '8/27/2007 12:00:00 AM'

The following adds -1 years to the current date:
SELECT ... From ... WHERE date > DATEADD(year,-1,GETDATE())

I found this page while looking for a solution that would help me select results from a prior calendar year. Most of the results shown above seems return items from the past 365 days, which didn't work for me.
At the same time, it did give me enough direction to solve my needs in the following code - which I'm posting here for any others who have the same need as mine and who may come across this page in searching for a solution.
SELECT .... FROM .... WHERE year(*your date column*) = year(DATEADD(year,-1,getdate()))
Thanks to those above whose solutions helped me arrive at what I needed.

Well, I think something is missing here. User wants to get data from the last year and not from the last 365 days. There is a huge diference. In my opinion, data from the last year is every data from 2007 (if I am in 2008 now). So the right answer would be:
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE YEAR(DATE) = YEAR(GETDATE()) - 1
Then if you want to restrict this query, you can add some other filter, but always searching in the last year.
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE YEAR(DATE) = YEAR(GETDATE()) - 1 AND DATE > '05/05/2007'

The most readable, IMO:
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE Date >
DATEADD(yy, -1, CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(varchar, GETDATE(), 101)))
Which:
Gets now's datetime GETDATE() = #8/27/2008 10:23am#
Converts to a string with format 101 CONVERT(varchar, #8/27/2008 10:23am#, 101) = '8/27/2007'
Converts to a datetime CONVERT(datetime, '8/27/2007') = #8/27/2008 12:00AM#
Subtracts 1 year DATEADD(yy, -1, #8/27/2008 12:00AM#) = #8/27/2007 12:00AM#
There's variants with DATEDIFF and DATEADD to get you midnight of today, but they tend to be rather obtuse (though slightly better on performance - not that you'd notice compared to the reads required to fetch the data).

Look up dateadd in BOL
dateadd(yy,-1,getdate())

GETDATE() returns current date and time.
If last year starts in midnight of current day last year (like in original example) you should use something like:
DECLARE #start datetime
SET #start = dbo.getdatewithouttime(DATEADD(year, -1, GETDATE())) -- cut time (hours, minutes, ect.) -- getdatewithouttime() function doesn't exist in MS SQL -- you have to write one
SELECT column1, column2, ..., columnN FROM table WHERE date >= #start

I, like #D.E. White, came here for similar but different reasons than the original question. The original question asks for the last 365 days. #samjudson's answer provides that. #D.E. White's answer returns results for the prior calendar year.
My query is a bit different in that it works for the prior year up to and including the current date:
SELECT .... FROM .... WHERE year(date) > year(DATEADD(year, -2, GETDATE()))
For example, on Feb 17, 2017 this query returns results from 1/1/2016 to 2/17/2017

For some reason none of the results above worked for me.
This selects the last 365 days.
SELECT ... From ... WHERE date BETWEEN CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 YEAR AND CURDATE()

The other suggestions are good if you have "SQL only".
However I suggest, that - if possible - you calculate the date in your program and insert it as string in the SQL query.
At least for for big tables (i.e. several million rows, maybe combined with joins) that will give you a considerable speed improvement as the optimizer can work with that much better.

argument for DATEADD function :
DATEADD (*datepart* , *number* , *date* )
datepart can be: yy, qq, mm, dy, dd, wk, dw, hh, mi, ss, ms
number is an expression that can be resolved to an int that is added to a datepart of date
date is an expression that can be resolved to a time, date, smalldatetime, datetime, datetime2, or datetimeoffset value.

declare #iMonth int
declare #sYear varchar(4)
declare #sMonth varchar(2)
set #iMonth = 0
while #iMonth > -12
begin
set #sYear = year(DATEADD(month,#iMonth,GETDATE()))
set #sMonth = right('0'+cast(month(DATEADD(month,#iMonth,GETDATE())) as varchar(2)),2)
select #sYear + #sMonth
set #iMonth = #iMonth - 1
end

I had a similar problem but the previous coder only provided the date in mm-yyyy format. My solution is simple but might prove helpful to some (I also wanted to be sure beginning and ending spaces were eliminated):
SELECT ... FROM ....WHERE
CONVERT(datetime,REPLACE(LEFT(LTRIM([MoYr]),2),'-
','')+'/01/'+RIGHT(RTRIM([MoYr]),4)) >= DATEADD(year,-1,GETDATE())

Here's my version.
YEAR(NOW())- 1
Example:
YEAR(c.contractDate) = YEAR(NOW())- 1

For me this worked well
SELECT DATE_ADD(Now(),INTERVAL -2 YEAR);

If you are trying to calculate "rolling" days, you can simplify it by using:
Select ... FROM ... WHERE [DATE] > (GETDATE()-[# of Days])
