SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF HOUR NOW    2013-05-15 10 23 23      calculates difference in hour  for days-- gt  you have to define day replacing hour SELECT DATEDIFF  2012-2-2   2012-2-1    SELECT TO DAYS   2012-2-2  -TO DAYS  2012-2-1

Get the date difference in days using DATEDIFF  SELECT DATEDIFF  2010-10-08 18 23 13    2010-09-21 21 40 36   AS days   ------    days    ------      17    ------    OR  Refer the below link MySql difference between two timestamps in days

select  unix timestamp  2007-12-30 00 00 00   -  unix timestamp  2007-11-30 00 00 00

SELECT TIMEDIFF  2007-12-31 10 02 00   2007-12-30 12 01 01    -- result  22 00 59  the difference in HH MM SS format   SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF SECOND  2007-12-30 12 01 01   2007-12-31 10 02 00     -- result  79259  the difference in seconds   So  you can use TIMESTAMPDIFF for your purpose

SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF SECOND  2018-01-19 14 17 15   2018-01-20 14 17 15      Second approach   SELECT   DATEDIFF  1993-02-20   1993-02-19     24 60 60   AS  seccond     CURRENT TIME   --this will return current Date DATEDIFF        --this function will return  DAYS and in 1 day there are 24hh 60mm 60sec

User · Answer

You would simply do this   SELECT  end time - start time  FROM t  -- return in Millisecond SELECT  end time - start time  1000 FROM t  -- return in Second

Or  you could use TIMEDIFF function   mysql gt  SELECT TIMEDIFF  2000 01 01 00 00 00    2000 01 01 00 00 00 000001     -00 00 00 000001  mysql gt  SELECT TIMEDIFF  2008-12-31 23 59 59 000001     2008-12-30 01 01 01 000002      46 58 57 999999

If you are working with DATE columns  or can cast them as date columns   try DATEDIFF   and then multiply by 24 hours  60 min  60 secs  since DATEDIFF returns diff in days    From MySQL   http   dev mysql com doc refman 5 5 en date-and-time-functions html  for example   mysql gt  SELECT DATEDIFF  2007-12-31 23 59 59   2007-12-30 00 00 00     24 60 60

This function takes the difference between two dates and shows it in a date format yyyy-mm-dd  All you need is to execute the code below and then use the function  After executing you can use it like this   SELECT datedifference date1  date2  FROM                DELIMITER     CREATE FUNCTION datedifference date1 DATE  date2 DATE  RETURNS DATE NO SQL  BEGIN     DECLARE dif DATE      IF DATEDIFF date1  DATE CONCAT YEAR date1   -   MONTH date1    -   DAY date2      lt  0    THEN                 SET dif DATE FORMAT                                          CONCAT                                              PERIOD DIFF date format date1    y m   date format date2    y m   DIV 12                                                 -                                               PERIOD DIFF date format date1    y m   date format date2    y m     12                                                 -                                               DATEDIFF date1  DATE CONCAT YEAR date1   -   MONTH DATE SUB date1  INTERVAL 1 MONTH     -   DAY date2                                                 Y- m- d        ELSEIF DATEDIFF date1  DATE CONCAT YEAR date1   -   MONTH date1    -   DAY date2      lt  DAY LAST DAY DATE SUB date1  INTERVAL 1 MONTH    THEN                 SET dif DATE FORMAT                                          CONCAT                                              PERIOD DIFF date format date1    y m   date format date2    y m   DIV 12                                                 -                                               PERIOD DIFF date format date1    y m   date format date2    y m     12                                                 -                                               DATEDIFF date1  DATE CONCAT YEAR date1   -   MONTH date1    -   DAY date2                                                 Y- m- d        ELSE                 SET dif DATE FORMAT                                          CONCAT                                              PERIOD DIFF date format date1    y m   date format date2    y m   DIV 12                                                 -                                               PERIOD DIFF date format date1    y m   date format date2    y m     12                                                 -                                               DATEDIFF date1  DATE CONCAT YEAR date1   -   MONTH date1    -   DAY date2                                                 Y- m- d        END IF   RETURN dif  END    DELIMITER

If you ve a date stored in text field as string you can implement this code it will fetch the list of past number of days a week  a month or a year sorting   SELECT   FROM  table  WHERE STR TO DATE mydate    d  m  Y    lt  CURDATE   - INTERVAL 30 DAY AND STR TO DATE date    d  m  Y    gt  CURDATE   - INTERVAL 60 DAY    This is for a month  SELECT   FROM  table  WHERE STR TO DATE mydate    d  m  Y    lt  CURDATE   - INTERVAL 7 DAY AND STR TO DATE date    d  m  Y    gt  CURDATE   - INTERVAL 14 DAY    This is for a week     d m Y is your date format  This query display the record between the days you set there like  Below from last 7 days and Above from last 14 days so it would be your last week record to be display same concept is for month or year  Whatever value you re providing in below date like  below from 7-days so the other value would be its double as 14 days  What we are saying here get all records above from last 14 days and below from last 7 days  This is a week record you can change value to 30-60 days for a month and also for a year   Thank You Hope it will help someone
