Select all records between two datetime format

Question

I have this query, i need to select all records between two dates, the mysql table is a datetime format.

I tried this but it didn't work.

select * from cdr
 WHERE calldate BETWEEN '2012-12-01' AND '2012-12-03';

Answer 1

Try this instead:

select * from cdr
WHERE DATE(calldate) BETWEEN '20121201' AND '20121203';

Answer 2

Try this query -

SELECT * FROM cdr WHERE calldate BETWEEN str_to_date('2012-12-01','%Y-%m-%d') AND str_to_date('2012-12-03','%Y-%m-%d');

Answer 3

The above will work great. If you wanted to add extra conditions, normal Boolean logic works with date/time as well so you could do something like

...
where DATE(calldate) < '20121201' AND DATE(calldate) >= '20121203' OR DATE(calldate) = '20121205'

Just a simple example.
