How to filter with a data which is greater than current date in sql?

Question

filter data which is greater than current date

select * from event_participant where username='$username' AND event_date>=GETDATE()

I have been try this query but seems doesn't works

Answer 1

Try using CURDATE() instead of GETDATE() :

SELECT *
FROM event_participant
WHERE username = '$username'
    AND event_date >= CURDATE()

Mysql : NOW() , CURDATE()

SQL Server : GETDATE()
