Deleting records before a certain date

Question

How would I go about deleting all records from a MySQL table from before a certain date, where the date column is in DATETIME format?

An example datetime is 20

Answer 1

To show result till yesterday

WHERE DATE(date_time) < CURDATE()

To show results of 10 days

WHERE date_time < NOW() - INTERVAL 10 DAY

To show results before 10 days

WHERE DATE(date_time) < DATE(NOW() - INTERVAL 10 DAY)

These will work for you

You can find dates like this

SELECT DATE(NOW() - INTERVAL 11 DAY)
