Question

Is there a way to use the Now() function in SQL to select values with today\'s date?

I was under the impression Now() would contain the ti

Answer 1

You can try this sql code;

   SELECT [column_1], [column_1], ...    
    FROM (your_table)
     where date_format(record_date, '%e%c%Y') = date_format(now(), '%e%c%Y') 

Answer 2

You can try:

WHERE created_date BETWEEN CURRENT_TIMESTAMP-180 AND CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

Answer 3

Not sure what your asking!

However

SELECT  GETDATE()

Will get you the current date and time

SELECT  DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()))

Will get you just the date with time set to 00:00:00

Answer 4

Just zero off the time element of the date. e.g.

SELECT DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, getdate()), 0)

I've used GetDate as that's an MSSQL function, as you've tagged, but Now() is probably MySQL or you're using the ODBC function call, still should work if you just replace one with the other.

Answer 5

If you have a table with just a stored date (no time) and want to get those by "now", then you can do this:

SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE DATEDIFF(d, yourdate, GETDATE())=0

This results in rows which day difference is 0 (so today).

Answer 6

This worked for me:

SELECT * FROM table where date(column_date) = curdate()
