Update Date and Time Values in MySQL

Here, we will see an example wherein we are inserting datetime and updating them while using INSERT query.

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable816 (DueDate datetime);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.45 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command. Here is the query to add (minutes / hours / days / months / years) to date when performing INSERT −

mysql> insert into DemoTable816 values(date_add(now(),interval 3 minute));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable816 values(date_add('2018-01-21 00:00:00',interval 3 Hour));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.52 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable816 values(date_add('2016-11-11 12:40:00',interval 3 Day));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable816 values(date_add('2018-12-01 11:00:00',interval 3 Month));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable816 values(date_add('2011-03-21 10:00:00',interval 3 Year));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable816;

This will produce the following output -

+---------------------+
| DueDate             |
+---------------------+
| 2019-08-03 13:08:43 |
| 2018-01-21 03:00:00 |
| 2016-11-14 12:40:00 |
| 2019-03-01 11:00:00 |
| 2014-03-21 10:00:00 |
+---------------------+
