Explain Date Functions in SQL??
ADDDATE(date,INTERVAL expr unit), ADDDATE(expr,days)
When invoked with the INTERVAL form of the second argument, ADDDATE() is a synonym for DATE_ADD(). The related function SUBDATE() is a synonym for DATE_SUB(). For information on the INTERVAL unit argument, see the discussion for DATE_ADD().
mysql> SELECT DATE_ADD('1998-01-02', INTERVAL 31 DAY); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | DATE_ADD('1998-01-02', INTERVAL 31 DAY) | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 1998-02-02 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('1998-01-02', INTERVAL 31 DAY); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | ADDDATE('1998-01-02', INTERVAL 31 DAY) | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 1998-02-02 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
When invoked with the days form of the second argument, MySQL treats it as an integer number of days to be added to expr.
mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('1998-01-02', 31); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | DATE_ADD('1998-01-02', INTERVAL 31 DAY) | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 1998-02-02 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
ADDTIME(expr1,expr2)
ADDTIME() adds expr2 to expr1 and returns the result. The expr1 is a time or datetime expression, while the expr2 is a time expression.
mysql> SELECT ADDTIME('1997-12-31 23:59:59.999999','1 1:1:1.000002'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | DATE_ADD('1997-12-31 23:59:59.999999','1 1:1:1.000002') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 1998-01-02 01:01:01.000001 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
CONVERT_TZ(dt,from_tz,to_tz)
This converts a datetime value dt from the time zone given by from_tz to the time zone given by to_tz and returns the resulting value. This function returns NULL if the arguments are invalid.
mysql> SELECT CONVERT_TZ('2004-01-01 12:00:00','GMT','MET'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | CONVERT_TZ('2004-01-01 12:00:00','GMT','MET') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 2004-01-01 13:00:00 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT CONVERT_TZ('2004-01-01 12:00:00','+00:00','+10:00'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | CONVERT_TZ('2004-01-01 12:00:00','+00:00','+10:00') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 2004-01-01 22:00:00 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
CURDATE()
Returns the current date as a value in 'YYYY-MM-DD' or YYYYMMDD format, depending on whether the function is used in a string or in a numeric context.
mysql> SELECT CURDATE(); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | CURDATE() | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 1997-12-15 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT CURDATE() + 0; +---------------------------------------------------------+ | CURDATE() + 0 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 19971215 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
CURRENT_DATE and CURRENT_DATE()
CURRENT_DATE and CURRENT_DATE() are synonyms for CURDATE()
CURTIME()
Returns the current time as a value in 'HH:MM:SS' or HHMMSS format, depending on whether the function is used in a string or in a numeric context. The value is expressed in the current time zone.
mysql> SELECT CURTIME(); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | CURTIME() | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 23:50:26 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT CURTIME() + 0; +---------------------------------------------------------+ | CURTIME() + 0 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 235026 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
CURRENT_TIME and CURRENT_TIME()
CURRENT_TIME and CURRENT_TIME() are synonyms for CURTIME().
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() are synonyms for NOW().
DATE(expr)
Extracts the date part of the date or datetime expression expr.
mysql> SELECT DATE('2003-12-31 01:02:03'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | DATE('2003-12-31 01:02:03') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 2003-12-31 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
DATEDIFF(expr1,expr2)
DATEDIFF() returns expr1 . expr2 expressed as a value in days from one date to the other. Both expr1 and expr2 are date or date-and-time expressions. Only the date parts of the values are used in the calculation.
mysql> SELECT DATEDIFF('1997-12-31 23:59:59','1997-12-30'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | DATEDIFF('1997-12-31 23:59:59','1997-12-30') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 1 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
DATE_ADD(date,INTERVAL expr unit), DATE_SUB(date,INTERVAL expr unit)
These functions perform date arithmetic. The date is a DATETIME or DATE value specifying the starting date. The expr is an expression specifying the interval value to be added or subtracted from the starting date. The expr is a string; it may start with a '-' for negative intervals.
A unit is a keyword indicating the units in which the expression should be interpreted.
The INTERVAL keyword and the unit specifier are not case sensitive.
The following table shows the expected form of the expr argument for each unit value.

UTC_DATE, UTC_DATE()
Returns the current UTC date as a value in 'YYYY-MM-DD' or YYYYMMDD format, depending on whether the function is used in a string or numeric context.
mysql> SELECT UTC_DATE(), UTC_DATE() + 0; +---------------------------------------------------------+ | UTC_DATE(), UTC_DATE() + 0 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 2003-08-14, 20030814 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
UTC_TIME, UTC_TIME()
Returns the current UTC time as a value in 'HH:MM:SS' or HHMMSS format, depending on whether the function is used in a string or numeric context.
mysql> SELECT UTC_TIME(), UTC_TIME() + 0; +---------------------------------------------------------+ | UTC_TIME(), UTC_TIME() + 0 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 18:07:53, 180753 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
UTC_TIMESTAMP, UTC_TIMESTAMP()
Returns the current UTC date and time as a value in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' or in a YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format, depending on whether the function is used in a string or in a numeric context.
mysql> SELECT UTC_TIMESTAMP(), UTC_TIMESTAMP() + 0; +---------------------------------------------------------+ | UTC_TIMESTAMP(), UTC_TIMESTAMP() + 0 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 2003-08-14 18:08:04, 20030814180804 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
WEEK(date[,mode])
This function returns the week number for date. The two-argument form of WEEK() allows you to specify whether the week starts on a Sunday or a Monday and whether the return value should be in the range from 0 to 53 or from 1 to 53. If the mode argument is omitted, the value of the default_week_format system variable is used
| Mode | First Day of week | Range | Week 1 is the first week. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Sunday | 0-53 | with a Sunday in this year |
| 1 | Monday | 0-53 | with more than 3 days this year |
| 2 | Sunday | 1-53 | with a Sunday in this year |
| 3 | Monday | 1-53 | with more than 3 days this year |
| 4 | Sunday | 0-53 | with more than 3 days this year |
| 5 | Monday | 0-53 | with a Monday in this year |
| 6 | Sunday | 1-53 | with more than 3 days this year |
| 7 | Monday | 1-53 | with a Monday in this year |
mysql> SELECT WEEK('1998-02-20'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | WEEK('1998-02-20') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 7 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
WEEKDAY(date)
Returns the weekday index for date (0 = Monday, 1 = Tuesday, . 6 = Sunday).
mysql> SELECT WEEKDAY('1998-02-03 22:23:00'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | WEEKDAY('1998-02-03 22:23:00') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 1 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
WEEKOFYEAR(date)
Returns the calendar week of the date as a number in the range from 1 to 53. WEEKOFYEAR() is a compatibility function that is equivalent to WEEK(date,3).
mysql> SELECT WEEKOFYEAR('1998-02-20'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | WEEKOFYEAR('1998-02-20') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 8 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
YEAR(date)
Returns the year for date, in the range 1000 to 9999, or 0 for the .zero. date.
mysql> SELECT YEAR('98-02-03'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | YEAR('98-02-03') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 1998 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
YEARWEEK(date), YEARWEEK(date,mode)
Returns the year and the week for a date. The mode argument works exactly like the mode argument to the WEEK() function. The year in the result may be different from the year in the date argument for the first and the last week of the year.
mysql> SELECT YEARWEEK('1987-01-01'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | YEAR('98-02-03')YEARWEEK('1987-01-01') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 198653 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Note − The week number is different from what the WEEK() function would return (0) for optional arguments 0 or 1, as WEEK() then returns the week in the context of the given year.
