Question

Recently i changed my database from sqlite3 to mysql.When i ran my project i am getting this error in one of the file which is using this query.

date = Date.today +

Answer 1

Try this with simply replace,

<% @employees = Employee.where("status = ? AND strftime('%d/%m', date_of_birth) = ?", "Active" , date.strftime('%d/%m')) %>

With

<% @employees = Employee.where("status = ? AND DATE_FORMAT(date_of_birth,'%d/%m') = ?", "Active" , date.strftime('%d/%m')) %>

Answer 2

There is no strftime function in MySQL. Use DATE_FORMAT instead.

See Convert DateTime Value into String in Mysql for more examples.
