check arrival date and departure are within range mysql

Question

I have following table :

id      travelStart travelExpires
1       2012-11-12  2013-01-31
1       2012-11-12  2013-01-31

and following are my arrival and departure dates:

arrival date: 2012-12-28
departure date   : 2012-12-30

I want to check that arrival and departure date in between travelStart and travelEnd date. How to write mysql query for it.

Answer 1

Your answer has as simplest solution the BETWEEN operator in MySQL. How it works:

SELECT * from YourTable WHERE ( :arrivalDate BETWEEN travelStart AND travelExpires) AND ( :departureDate BETWEEN travelStart AND travelExpires )

You'll obviously need to bind the :arrivalDate and :departureDate parameters.

Answer 2

试试这个查询

select * from table where (arrival_date<=travelStart AND arrival_date<=travelExpires) AND (departure_date>=travelStart AND departure_date<=travelExpires)
