Answer 1

Anyway I would write two separate queries for this case but this also works fine:

SELECT 
    *
FROM special_banner_tbl
WHERE SPLBANNER_pubsdate = CURRENT_DATE

UNION ALL 
SELECT 
    *
FROM special_banner_tbl
WHERE 
    (SELECT COUNT(*) 
    FROM special_banner_tbl 
    WHERE SPLBANNER_pubsdate=CURRENT_DATE) = 0 
    AND 
    SPLBANNER_pubsdate = (
        SELECT MIN(SPLBANNER_pubsdate) 
        FROM special_banner_tbl 
        WHERE SPLBANNER_pubsdate > CURRENT_DATE 
        ORDER BY SPLBANNER_pubsdate
        LIMIT 1
    )

Answer 2

You need or SPLBANNER_pubsdate > current_date for the future dates and the order by SPLBANNER_pubsdate ASC so if no events found for current date it will have future events if found then current events are listed first

SELECT * FROM `special_banner_tbl` WHERE `SPLBANNER_pubsdate` = current_date
OR `SPLBANNER_pubsdate` > current_date ORDER BY `SPLBANNER_pubsdate` ASC
 LIMIT 0 , 30

Answer 3

Actually what you have to do is use the difference between today and the future. Then you would have to order your data by this difference ascending.

Hope I helped!

Answer 4

Try this :

SELECT 
  * 
FROM 
  `special_banner_tbl`
ORDER BY 
  ABS(DATEDIFF(NOW(), `SPLBANNER_pubsdate`))
LIMIT 10

Answer 5

SELECT * FROM `jsproduct_company`
WHERE future_date > NOW()
LIMIT 1;

You can find exact next date record with above query.

Answer 6

SELECT *
FROM `special_banner_tbl`
WHERE `SPLBANNER_pubsdate` >= CURDATE()
ORDERBY `SPLBANNER_pubsdate` asc
LIMIT 1 

If your field SPLBANNER_pubsdate would contain full datetime values (instead of date values), you would have to change the where clause a bit, to isolate the date:

SELECT *
FROM `special_banner_tbl`
WHERE DATE(`SPLBANNER_pubsdate`) >= CURDATE()
ORDERBY `SPLBANNER_pubsdate` asc
LIMIT 1
