Re: How to emulate a DATE() in MySQL 4.0?

Essentially I need to extract the -MM-DD from a timestamp field that I populated in a PHP script so I can do a diff against a current timestamp. Here is the query that works on current and falls over dead on 4.0: "SELECT count(SimulatedTimeSet) as count_live FROM `Simulator` WHERE DATE( `SimulatedTimeSet` ) = DATE(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)" Try FROM_UNIXTIME(). Have you read the manual section on date and time functions? There are quite a few. You don't need to read hundreds of pages. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html Baron -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't have any control over that one...
