Use MySQL Date Functions with WHERE Clause

By using the WHERE clause with any of the MySQL date functions, the query will filter the rows based on the condition provided in the WHERE clause. To understand it, consider the data from ‘Collegedetail’ table as follows

mysql> Select * from Collegedetail;
+------+---------+------------+
| ID   | Country | Estb       |
+------+---------+------------+
| 111  | INDIA   | 2010-05-01 |
| 130  | INDIA   | 1995-10-25 |
| 139  | USA     | 1994-09-25 |
| 1539 | UK      | 2001-07-23 |
| 1545 | Russia  | 2010-07-30 |
+------+---------+------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Now, suppose if want to get the details of only those colleges which established in the year 2010 then following query, having WHERE clause with YEAR(), can be used −

mysql> Select * from Collegedetail WHERE YEAR(Estb) = '2010';
+------+---------+------------+
| ID   | Country | Estb       |
+------+---------+------------+
| 111  | INDIA   | 2010-05-01 |
| 1545 | Russia  | 2010-07-30 |
+------+---------+------------+
2 rows in set (0.07 sec)
