Select Statement with value of next row used in where clause in Mysql

Question

Is is possible to construct a SELECT statement that contains a WHERE clause that uses the value from a column in the "next" row?

I have a date and time field date_entered. ie. given a table with a field named "date_entered" with the following values I want a SELECT statement that selects the rows " WHERE date_entered>='current_date' and date_entered<=[NEXT ROW]date_entered "

I tried Post but not found what I am looking at.

If your records are ordered chronologically, then you may get through with a query like this:

SELECT 
    t1.*,
    min(t2.date_entered) as next_row_date 
from mytable t1 
join mytable t2
/* ON nothing */
where t1.id < t2.id
and t1.date_entered > NOW()
group by t1.id
having t1.date_entered <= next_row_date

If you really need next row date... You will likely get a better result with a subquery. Something like

SELECT 
    t1.*,
from mytable t1 
where t1.date_entered > NOW()
and t1.date_entered < ( SELECT date_entered from mytable t2 where t2.id > t1.id limit 1)
