Filter query by Dates Mysql












0















I am new to MySQL, and I am having a difficulties filtering based on the date in my WHERE clause.



I am comparing the date1 to 2018-01-01 and 2018-31-12. All of the dates within this range should be displayed, but when I run my query nothing is displayed.



I would really appreciate any advice.



The date1 datatype is longtext, and the val datatype is longtext.



date1                Val
2018-01-03 V1
2018-07-05 V2
2018-12-05 V3
2019-01-02 V4
2019-10-03 V5


This is my SQL query:



SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE date1 >= YEAR '2018-01-01' AND date1<= '2018-12-31' 


Expected Output:



    date1                Val
2018-01-03 V1
2018-07-05 V2
2018-12-05 V3

  • It is best practice to store date values as date or datetime datatypes.

You have a syntax error.



mysql> Select * from foo where date1 >= YEAR '2018-01-01' AND date1<= '2018-12-31' ;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''2018-01-01' AND date1<= '2018-12-31'' at line 1


YEAR '2018-01-01' is not valid syntax. It would have to be YEAR('2018-01-01').



BTW your query is better written with between. Same thing, easier to read, less chance of bugs.



select * from foo where date1 between '2018-01-01' AND '2018-12-31';
