get the data is greater than is equal todays date

Question

I want to fetch all data from today's date(or greater than is equal today's date). But it shows all the date before and after todays date. See below images:

My fetch query is : SELECT * FROM tbl_reservation_info WHERE ri_id !='' AND status = 'Success' AND ri_arrival_date > '08-Apr-2019'

Answer 1

Your dates are not in a valid MySQL date format (the column is presumably a VARCHAR or similar), and are being compared as strings. Since all your dates start with 1 , 2 , or 3 , they are all greater than (using a string comparison) a date string starting with 0 . You need to convert the formats to compare correctly:

SELECT * 
FROM tbl_reservation_info
WHERE ri_id !='' 
  AND status = 'Success' 
  AND STR_TO_DATE(ri_arrival_date, '%d-%b-%Y') > STR_TO_DATE('08-Apr-2019', '%d-%b-%Y')

Answer 2

Normally a Date is saved in following format : YYYY-MM-DD Perhaps your php-myadmin format it in this way or

you should change it from varchar/text to date otherwise sorting and filtering will be complicated. Also your code should use this format - for displaying you need to convert it.

In your screenshot the 12 is greater then the 8 you filtering.

12-Mar-2019 > 8*

Answer 3

You can simply try CURDATE() :

SELECT * 
FROM tbl_reservation_info 
WHERE ri_id !='' AND status = 'Success' AND  ri_arrival_date > CURDATE();

With this, it skips today's date. if you want them to the add >=

Make sure ri_arrival_date is date format.
