I have a timestamp column in MySQL and I want to select a date range for e

Answer 1

Whenever possible, avoid applying functions to a column in the where clause:

SELECT *
  FROM table_name
 WHERE timestamp >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2010-10-01 00:00:00') 
   AND timestamp <  UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2010-11-01 00:00:00');

Applying a function to the timestamp column (e.g., FROM_UNIXTIME(timestamp) = ...) makes indexing much harder.
