MySQL query to select closest date from today?
Let’s say the current date is 2019-07-25. We will now see an example and create a table where ShippingDate is added in the table.
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable667(ShippingDate datetime); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.46 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable667 values('2019-01-31');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable667 values('2019-07-19');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.69 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable667 values('2019-07-23');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable667 values('2019-08-24');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable667;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------------+ | ShippingDate | +---------------------+ | 2019-01-31 00:00:00 | | 2019-07-19 00:00:00 | | 2019-07-23 00:00:00 | | 2019-08-24 00:00:00 | +---------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to get the closest date from today −
mysql> select ShippingDate from DemoTable667 where date(ShippingDate) = (select min(date(ShippingDate)) from DemoTable667 where date(ShippingDate) > date(now()) );
This will produce the following output −
+---------------------+ | ShippingDate | +---------------------+ | 2019-07-23 00:00:00 | +---------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
