using a Oracle 10g db I have a table something like this:
create table x(
ID NUMBER(10) primary key,
wedding DATE NOT NULL
);
how can I
select * from x where wedding is in june 2008???
I know it is probably an easy one but I couldn't find any satisfying answer so far.
Help is very much appreciated.
Use:
SELECT *
FROM x
WHERE x.wedding BETWEEN TO_DATE('2008-JUN-01', 'YYYY-MON-DD')
AND TO_DATE('2008-JUL-01', 'YYYY-MON-DD')
Use of TO_DATE constructs a date with a time portion of 00:00:00, which requires the end date to be one day ahead unless you want to use logic to correct the current date to be one second before midnight. Untested:
TO_DATE('2008-JUN-30', 'YYYY-MON-DD') + 1 - (1/(24*60*60))
That should add one day to 30-Jun-2008, and then subtract one second in order to return a final date of 30-Jun-2008 23:59.
References:
TO_DATE
This is ANSI SQL, and supported by oracle as of version 9i
SELECT *
FROM x
WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR FROM wedding) = 2008
AND EXTRACT(MONTH FROM wedding) = 06
Classic solution with oracle specific TO_CHAR():
SELECT *
FROM x
WHERE TO_CHAR(wedding, 'YYYY-MMM') = '2008-JUN'
(the latter solutions was supported when dinosaurs still walked the earth)

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
I am looking for a way to select a whole days worth of data from a where statement. Timestamp is in unix time such as (1406045122). I want to select the today's date of unix time range and find all the food that has been added in today. Thank in advance. This is the code I wrote. I'm not sure what I should put in the ( ????? ) part. I know it has to do with 60*60*24=86400 secs per day but I'm not too sure how I can implement this.
Select timestamp,food from table1 where timestamp = ( ????? );
Select timestamp,food
FROM table1
WHERE timestamp > :ts
AND timestamp <= (:ts + 86400);
replace :ts with the starting timstamp and you'll filter a whole day's worth of data
edit
This select query would give you the current timestamp (there may be more efficient ones, i don't work with sqlite often)
select strftime("%s", current_timestamp);
You can find more info about them here: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/sqlite/sqlite_date_time.htm
Using the strftime() function, combined with the date() function we can write this following query which will not need any manual editing. It will return the records filtered on timestamp > start of today & timestamp <= end of today.
Select timestamp,food
FROM table1
WHERE timestamp > strftime("%s", date(current_timestamp))
AND timestamp <= (strftime("%s", date(current_timestamp)) + 86400);
Your mileage will likely depend on your version of SQL but for example on MySQL you can specify a search as being BETWEEN two dates, which is taken conventionally to mean midnight on each. So
SELECT * FROM FOO WHERE T BETWEEN '2014-07-01' AND '2014-07-02';
selects anything with a timestamp anywhere on 1st July 2014. If you want to make it readable you could even use the ADDDATE function. So you could do something like
SET #mydate = DATE(T);
SELECT * FROM FOO WHERE T BETWEEN #mydate AND ADDDATE(#mydate, 1);
The first line should truncate your timestamp to be 00:00:00. The second line should SELECT only records from that date.
I have a set of dates that are in the format DD-MMM-YYYY. I need to be able to compare dates by using only the DD-MMM part of the date, since the year isn't important.
How would I achieve this?
I have tried reading up on the DATEPART function (edit: which evidently wouldn't work) but I can only theoretically get that to return either the DD or the MMM parts, not both of them at once.
Edit: added oracle tag. Sorry.
Example of date field: 01-MAR-1994
If your column is of type DATE then it doesn't have a format.
If I understand you right, then you want to view the mon-dd part only, so you need to convert it with TO_CHAR function,
i.e.:
select to_char(your_date_column, 'mon-dd') from your_table
Convert your dates using the following format, it will only month and the date part. You have to replace getdate() with you date fields.:
select convert(varchar(5),getdate(),110)
Assuming that you are using SQL Server or Oracle since you attempted using DATEPART, you can just get the day and month using the DAY() and MONTH() functions. Assuming, again, that the dates you are comparing are in two different tables, it would look similar to this:
SELECT MONTH(t1.date), DAY(t2.date)
FROM table AS t1
INNER JOIN table2 AS t2
ON t1.key = t2.key
WHERE MONTH(t1.date) = MONTH(t2.date)
AND DAY(t1.date) = DAY(t2.date)
EDIT: If you are just comparing rows in the same table, you only need a very simple query.
SQLFiddle
select id, TO_CHAR(most_recent, 'mon-dd')
from (
select id, MAX(date1) AS most_recent
from table1
group by id
)
You can also combine month and day into one integer:
EXTRACT(MONTH FROM datecol) * 100 + EXTRACT(DAY FROM datecol) AS MonthDay
Then it's easier to sort and compare.
select FORMAT(yourcoulmn_name, 'dd/MM') from table
This should do the trick
`select CONVERT(varchar(7),datetime_column,100) from your_table`
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Kolkata");
$m = date("m");//Month
$d = date("d");//Day
$sql = "SELECT * FROM contactdata WHERE MONTH(date) = '$m' AND DAY(date) = '$d' ";
only checks day and month and returns today, day and month from database
SELECT LEFT(REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar(10),GETDATE()-1,3),'/',''),4)
WOuld this work for you?
FROMAT(DATETIME, 'dd-MMM') = FROMAT(DATETIME, 'dd-MMM') use any format you want
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.

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;
