At first, to use reserved words, it should be set with backticks like −
`from` `to`
Since you want to select the column names set with backtick as shown above, you need to implement the following −
select `to`,`from` from yourTableName;
Let us first create a table with column names as from and to with backticks −
mysql> create table DemoTable720 ( `from` date, `to` date ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.69 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable720 values('2019-01-21','2019-07-23');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable720 values('2017-11-01','2018-01-31');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable720 values('2015-08-11','2016-09-19');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable720;
This will produce the following output -
+------------+------------+ | from | to | +------------+------------+ | 2019-01-21 | 2019-07-23 | | 2017-11-01 | 2018-01-31 | | 2015-08-11 | 2016-09-19 | +------------+------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to select “to” and “from” −
mysql> select `to`,`from` from DemoTable720;
This will produce the following output -
+------------+------------+ | to | from | +------------+------------+ | 2019-07-23 | 2019-01-21 | | 2018-01-31 | 2017-11-01 | | 2016-09-19 | 2015-08-11 | +------------+------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
