Get data between two date on MySQL

Question

How can I get the values between two dates.

I want to get the values between 2010-01-02 and 2010-01-04.

Example:

Value DateTime
A     2010-01-01 14:55:12
B     2010-01-02 14:55:12
C     2010-01-03 14:55:12
D     2010-01-04 14:55:12
E     2010-01-05 14:55:12

Thanks!

Answer 1

Have a look at

expr BETWEEN min AND max

If expr is greater than or equal to min and expr is less than or equal to max, BETWEEN returns 1, otherwise it returns 0.

For best results when using BETWEEN with date or time values, you should use CAST() to explicitly convert the values to the desired data type. Examples: If you compare a DATETIME to two DATE values, convert the DATE values to DATETIME values. If you use a string constant such as '2001-1-1' in a comparison to a DATE, cast the string to a DATE.

Answer 2

I know the answer has already been accepted, but I thought I'd add a bit more to what @astander has mentioned. I answered a post recently regarding date queries, and a useful way of extracting more useful information from the dates using a date dimension.

See the following StackOverflow question, and look to my answer...

Select all months within given date span, including the ones with 0 values
