SELECT Off_Id,uid,Leave_from,leave_to,leave_code
FROM YourTableName
WHERE Leave_From>="2012-01-01" and Leave_to <="2012-01-05"

Answer 4

If I understand your question right:

SELECT * FROM `table_name` 
WHERE leave_from >= "2012-01-01" AND leave_to <= "2012-01-05"

Answer 5

point 1 : you could use > < <= >= with date datatypes .

the above can be achieved by

SELECT * FROM table WHERE leave_from > '2012-01-01' AND leave_from <'2012-01-05';
