How do I find the difference between today's date and X days from today?

Question

Hello all,

Having checked out all the possible threads that were presented before I asked my question, I didn't find an answer suitable for VB.net and MySQL. Most dealt with Android and PHP.

So I'm trying to run a query against a date field in a table within my MySQL database that finds all the records with a date value that's X number of days from today. How would I do this?

I using VS2010 and MySQL - in case I didn't already mention that. Thanks.

Answer 1

MySQL:

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE DATE(datecol) BETWEEN DATE(NOW()) AND DATE(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL x DAY));

See FIDDLE

Answer 2

this is the query for MySQL and

finds all the records with a date value that's X number of days from today

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE date_column = CURRENT_DATE + INTERVAL X DAY

this one will find all records with a date value between today and X numbers of days from today

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE date_column BETWEEN CURRENT_DATE AND CURRENT_DATE + INTERVAL X DAY
