For this, use INTERVAL 8 MONTH and fetch records 8 months from the current date −
select *from yourTableName where yourColumnName>= (CURRENT_DATE() - INTERVAL 8 MONTH);
Note − Let’s say the current date is: 2018-02-06
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable (StudentName varchar(100), AdmissionDate date); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.75 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John','2019-01-21'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.27 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Chris','2019-10-04'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.25 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Robert','2018-02-01'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('David','2019-07-07'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+---------------+ | StudentName | AdmissionDate | +-------------+---------------+ | John | 2019-01-21 | | Chris | 2019-10-04 | | Robert | 2018-02-01 | | David | 2019-07-07 | +-------------+---------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to get records after an interval of 8 months −
mysql> select *from DemoTable where AdmissionDate >= (CURRENT_DATE() - INTERVAL 8 MONTH);
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+---------------+ | StudentName | AdmissionDate | +-------------+---------------+ | John | 2019-01-21 | | Chris | 2019-10-04 | | David | 2019-07-07 | +-------------+---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
