RE: Date and Mysql...
Hi again... Hi, When I felt proud because last week I had asked about how to use NOW(), and get answer that got me working, but now I have a strange problem. It listing dates, but it not listing like it should, when the web page is create it going 9, 8, 5, 10 on the dates. Here is the SQL statement I am using... SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DATE, '%M %D, %Y') AS DATE, Title, Links, Summary FROM news WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(DATE) =5 ORDER BY DATE DESC Date_format returns a string, so 10 is indeed below 5. You could try something like Another problem I am having with another statement. The following statement should list birthdays that are 7 days out but it not... SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DOB, '%M %D, %Y') as DOB, Fname, Lname, Email FROM emply_info WHERE (TO_DAYS(DOB) - TO_DAYS(NOW())) =5 AND (TO_DAYS(DOB) = TO_DAYS(NOW())) and Tdate is NULL and DOB is not null ORDER BY DOB, Lname Any clue why my SQL statement worked once are now not working? Thanks a head of time.

FW: Date and Mysql... (now complete)
(one should not mess up strg and shift :-/) Hi again... Hi, When I felt proud because last week I had asked about how to use NOW(), and get answer that got me working, but now I have a strange problem. It listing dates, but it not listing like it should, when the web page is create it going 9, 8, 5, 10 on the dates. Here is the SQL statement I am using... SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DATE, '%M %D, %Y') AS DATE, Title, Links, Summary FROM news WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(DATE) =5 ORDER BY DATE DESC Date_format returns a string, so 10 is indeed below 5. You could try something like SELECT DATE, DATE_FORMAT(DATE, '%M %D, %Y') AS DATE2, Title, Links, Summary FROM news WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(DATE) =5 ORDER BY DATE DESC Another problem I am having with another statement. The following statement should list birthdays that are 7 days out but it not... SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DOB, '%M %D, %Y') as DOB, Fname, Lname, Email FROM emply_info WHERE (TO_DAYS(DOB) - TO_DAYS(NOW())) =5 AND (TO_DAYS(DOB) = TO_DAYS(NOW())) and Tdate is NULL and DOB is not null ORDER BY DOB, Lname Similar thing. Date_format(NULL, '%M %D, %Y') should return 00 00, 00, iirc, and thus is not NULL even if your date column is. SELECT DOB, DATE_FORMAT(DOB, '%M %D, %Y') as DOB2, Fname, Lname, Email FROM emply_info WHERE (TO_DAYS(DOB) - TO_DAYS(NOW())) =5 AND (TO_DAYS(DOB) = TO_DAYS(NOW())) and Tdate is NULL and DOB is not null ORDER BY DOB, Lname Any clue why my SQL statement worked once are now not working?

RE: 2 queries in one?
Should be something like Select Status, Date from Table where Status closed or Date now() - 14 (This is from memory so please dont rely on the syntax ;-) HTH, Chris -- Christian Pfeiffer Smart-Link Gesellschaft für EDV-Systemlösungen mbH Herforder Str. 5-7 www.smart-link.de 33602 Bielefeld Fon 0521-9623716 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax 0521-9623721 I've looked through the docs and I couldn't find out how to do this. If you can point me to the right place in the documentation so I can read how, that would be great. If you could give me a little sample query to start from, that would be great as well. I've 2 columns in a table. Status and Date. I want to select all rows regardless of the values in either. However, if the status is closed, I only want those closed records that are less than 2 weeks old. Can this be done in one query? If so, how? And where can I read how to do this in the docs? thnx, Chris - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
