MySQL query to get the current date from the list of dates

For the current day, you can use CURDATE() method. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
   -> (
   -> DueDate date
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.35 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-06-14' );
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.35 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-06-15');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.64 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-06-16');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2018-01-16');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.29 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2018-07-16');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.53 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+------------+
| DueDate    |
+------------+
| 2019-06-14 |
| 2019-06-15 |
| 2019-06-16 |
| 2018-01-16 |
| 2018-07-16 |
+------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to get records from the same day −

mysql> select *from DemoTable where DATE(DueDate)=CURDATE();

This will produce the following output −

+------------+
| DueDate    |
+------------+
| 2019-06-16 |
+------------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)
