Fetch the count of a specific date in a MySQL table

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1946    (    ShippingDate date    ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1946 values('2019-12-11'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1946 values('2018-12-11'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1946 values('2017-12-11'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1946 values('2019-04-22'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1946 values('2019-12-11'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1946 values('2015-12-11'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1946;

This will produce the following output −

+--------------+ | ShippingDate | +--------------+ | 2019-12-11   | | 2018-12-11   | | 2017-12-11   | | 2019-04-22   | | 2019-12-11   | | 2015-12-11   | +--------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to count a specific date −

mysql> select count(*) from  DemoTable1946 where date(ShippingDate)='2019-12-11';

This will produce the following output −

+----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ |        2 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
