Datetime equal or greater than today in MySQL

34954

There are mainly three types that most commonly used to save date into the MYSQL table.

Date:

  • It saves the date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
  • It is the most popular type to declare a date in MYSQL.
  • It only saves date, not time.
  • It can save the values from '1000-01-01' to '9999-12-31'.

Datetime:

  • It saves both date and time in YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format.
  • Date can be possible from '1000-01-01 00:00:00' to '9999-12-31 23:59:59'.

Timestamp:

  • It also contains both parts means it can save date and time both.
  • Date range possible for Timestamp is from '1970-01-01 00:00:01' to '2038-01-19 03:14:07'.
  • For Datetime and Timestamp, we can use the following query to retrieve the date greater than or equal to current date and time in MYSQL.

Syntax:

SELECT * FROM timer WHERE date >= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;

Here,

date is the name of the column and time is the name of MYSQL table.


Example:

<?php
$con=mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'astro');  // create connection with database
echo "Current date and time is ".date('Y-m-d h:i:s')."<br>";
$query="SELECT date FROM timer WHERE date>=CURRENT_TIMESTAMP";
$result=mysqli_query($con,$query);
if($result){
  foreach($result as $row){
	echo $row['date']."<br>";
	}
}
?>

Output:


We can use this example for Date type.

Example 2:

We can also retrieve a date greater than or equal to the current date with the help of Now() function.

<?php
$con=mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'astro');  // create connection with database
echo "Current date and time is ".date('Y-m-d h:i:s')."<br>";
$query="SELECT date FROM timer WHERE date>=now()";
$result=mysqli_query($con,$query);
if($result){
   foreach($result as $row){
    echo $row['date']."<br>";
  }
}
?>

Output:
