Check if the current date falls in a given date range using MySQL query

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1448    -> (    -> StartDate date,    -> EndDate date    -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.46 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1448 values('2019-01-21','2019-03-22'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1448 values('2019-04-05','2019-10-10'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1448 values('2019-10-01','2019-10-29'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1448 values('2018-12-31','2019-12-31'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1448;

This will produce the following output −

+------------+------------+ | StartDate  | EndDate    | +------------+------------+ | 2019-01-21 | 2019-03-22 | | 2019-04-05 | 2019-10-10 | | 2019-10-01 | 2019-10-29 | | 2018-12-31 | 2019-12-31 | +------------+------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Let’s say the current date is −

2019-10-05

Following is the query to check if the current date falls in a given date range −

mysql> select (curdate() >=StartDate and curdate() <=EndDate) as DateInRange from DemoTable1448;

This will produce the following output −

+-------------+ | DateInRange | +-------------+ |           0 | |           1 | |           1 | |           1 | +-------------+ 4 rows in set (0.04 sec)
