Using a select statement, how does one
select all records that have a date one day
less than the current date? Our database has these fields:
EMAIL, AMOUNT, ID, DATE
The date is in format 00/00/0000
Gack. I'm guessing "00/00/0000" is a string?
1) "DATE" is a MySQL reserved word, a data type, meaning a date in "YYYY-MM-DD" format.
2) MySQL has date functions, but they require a real date field to operate on :-)
So: CREATE myTable ( myDate DATE );
Then you can simply
SELECT myDate FROM myTable WHERE myDate = DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL '1' DAY);
