Difference between two dates in MySQL
MysqlSqlDateDatetimeMysql Problem Overview
How to calculate the difference between two dates, in the format YYYY-MM-DD hh: mm: ss and to get the result in seconds or milliseconds?
Mysql Solutions
Solution 1 - Mysql
SELECT TIMEDIFF('2007-12-31 10:02:00','2007-12-30 12:01:01');
-- result: 22:00:59, the difference in HH:MM:SS format
SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF(SECOND,'2007-12-30 12:01:01','2007-12-31 10:02:00');
-- result: 79259 the difference in seconds
So, you can use TIMESTAMPDIFF for your purpose.
Solution 2 - Mysql
If you are working with DATE columns (or can cast them as date columns), try DATEDIFF() and then multiply by 24 hours, 60 min, 60 secs (since DATEDIFF returns diff in days). From MySQL:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html
for example:
mysql> SELECT DATEDIFF('2007-12-31 23:59:59','2007-12-30 00:00:00') * 24*60*60
Solution 3 - Mysql
Get the date difference in days using DATEDIFF
SELECT DATEDIFF('2010-10-08 18:23:13', '2010-09-21 21:40:36') AS days;
+------+
| days |
+------+
| 17 |
+------+
OR
Refer the below link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2546053/mysql-difference-between-two-timestamps-in-days
Solution 4 - Mysql
SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF(HOUR,NOW(),'2013-05-15 10:23:23')
calculates difference in hour.(for days--> you have to define day replacing hour
SELECT DATEDIFF('2012-2-2','2012-2-1')
SELECT TO_DAYS ('2012-2-2')-TO_DAYS('2012-2-1')
Solution 5 - Mysql
select
unix_timestamp('2007-12-30 00:00:00') -
unix_timestamp('2007-11-30 00:00:00');
Solution 6 - Mysql
SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF(SECOND,'2018-01-19 14:17:15','2018-01-20 14:17:15');
Second approach
SELECT ( DATEDIFF('1993-02-20','1993-02-19')*( 24*60*60) )AS 'seccond';
CURRENT_TIME() --this will return current Date
DATEDIFF('','') --this function will return DAYS and in 1 day there are 24hh 60mm 60sec
Solution 7 - Mysql
Or, you could use TIMEDIFF function
mysql> SELECT TIMEDIFF('2000:01:01 00:00:00', '2000:01:01 00:00:00.000001');
'-00:00:00.000001'
mysql> SELECT TIMEDIFF('2008-12-31 23:59:59.000001' , '2008-12-30 01:01:01.000002');
'46:58:57.999999'
Solution 8 - Mysql
This function takes the difference between two dates and shows it in a date format yyyy-mm-dd. All you need is to execute the code below and then use the function. After executing you can use it like this
SELECT datedifference(date1, date2)
FROM ....
.
.
.

CREATE FUNCTION datedifference(date1 DATE, date2 DATE) RETURNS DATE
NO SQL
BEGIN
DECLARE dif DATE;
IF DATEDIFF(date1, DATE(CONCAT(YEAR(date1),'-', MONTH(date1), '-', DAY(date2)))) < 0 THEN
SET dif=DATE_FORMAT(

'-',
PERIOD_DIFF(date_format(date1, '%y%m'),date_format(date2, '%y%m'))% 12 ,

DATEDIFF(date1, DATE(CONCAT(YEAR(date1),'-', MONTH(DATE_SUB(date1, INTERVAL 1 MONTH)), '-', DAY(date2))))),
'%Y-%m-%d');
ELSEIF DATEDIFF(date1, DATE(CONCAT(YEAR(date1),'-', MONTH(date1), '-', DAY(date2)))) < DAY(LAST_DAY(DATE_SUB(date1, INTERVAL 1 MONTH))) THEN
SET dif=DATE_FORMAT(
CONCAT(
PERIOD_DIFF(date_format(date1, '%y%m'),date_format(date2, '%y%m'))DIV 12 ,
'-',
PERIOD_DIFF(date_format(date1, '%y%m'),date_format(date2, '%y%m'))% 12 ,
'-',
DATEDIFF(date1, DATE(CONCAT(YEAR(date1),'-', MONTH(date1), '-', DAY(date2))))),
'%Y-%m-%d');

Solution 9 - Mysql
select TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE)+(to_date( '31-MAY-2012 12:25', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI')
- to_date( '31-MAY-2012 10:37', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI')),
'HH24:MI:SS') from dual
> -- result : 01:48:00
OK it's not quite what the OP asked, but it's what I wanted to do :-)
Solution 10 - Mysql
This code calculate difference between two dates in yyyy MM dd format.
declare @StartDate datetime
declare @EndDate datetime
declare @years int
declare @months int
declare @days int
--NOTE: date of birth must be smaller than As on date,
--else it could produce wrong results
set @StartDate = '2013-12-30' --birthdate
set @EndDate = Getdate() --current datetime
--calculate years
select @years = datediff(year,@StartDate,@EndDate)
--calculate months if it's value is negative then it
--indicates after __ months; __ years will be complete
--To resolve this, we have taken a flag @MonthOverflow...
declare @monthOverflow int
select @monthOverflow = case when datediff(month,@StartDate,@EndDate) -
( datediff(year,@StartDate,@EndDate) * 12) <0 then -1 else 1 end
--decrease year by 1 if months are Overflowed
select @Years = case when @monthOverflow < 0 then @years-1 else @years end
select @months = datediff(month,@StartDate,@EndDate) - (@years * 12)
--as we do for month overflow criteria for days and hours
--& minutes logic will followed same way
declare @LastdayOfMonth int
select @LastdayOfMonth = datepart(d,DATEADD
(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,@EndDate)+1,0)))
select @days = case when @monthOverflow<0 and
DAY(@StartDate)> DAY(@EndDate)
then @LastdayOfMonth +
(datepart(d,@EndDate) - datepart(d,@StartDate) ) - 1
else datepart(d,@EndDate) - datepart(d,@StartDate) end
select
@Months=case when @days < 0 or DAY(@StartDate)> DAY(@EndDate) then @Months-1 else @Months end
Declare @lastdayAsOnDate int;
set @lastdayAsOnDate = datepart(d,DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,@EndDate),0)));
Declare @lastdayBirthdate int;
set @lastdayBirthdate = datepart(d,DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,@StartDate)+1,0)));
if (@Days < 0)
(
select @Days = case when( @lastdayBirthdate > @lastdayAsOnDate) then
@lastdayBirthdate + @Days
else
@lastdayAsOnDate + @Days
end
)
print convert(varchar,@years) + ' year(s), ' +
convert(varchar,@months) + ' month(s), ' +
convert(varchar,@days) + ' day(s) '

If you've a date stored in text field as string you can implement this code it will fetch the list of past number of days a week, a month or a year sorting:
SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE STR_TO_DATE(mydate, '%d/%m/%Y') < CURDATE() - INTERVAL 30 DAY AND STR_TO_DATE(date, '%d/%m/%Y') > CURDATE() - INTERVAL 60 DAY
//This is for a month
SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE STR_TO_DATE(mydate, '%d/%m/%Y') < CURDATE() - INTERVAL 7 DAY AND STR_TO_DATE(date, '%d/%m/%Y') > CURDATE() - INTERVAL 14 DAY
//This is for a week
%d%m%Y is your date format
This query display the record between the days you set there like: Below from last 7 days and Above from last 14 days so it would be your last week record to be display same concept is for month or year. Whatever value you're providing in below date like: below from 7-days so the other value would be its double as 14 days. What we are saying here get all records above from last 14 days and below from last 7 days. This is a week record you can change value to 30-60 days for a month and also for a year.
Thank You Hope it will help someone.
Solution 12 - Mysql
You would simply do this:
SELECT (end_time - start_time) FROM t; -- return in Millisecond
SELECT (end_time - start_time)/1000 FROM t; -- return in Second
Solution 13 - Mysql
Why not just
Select Sum(Date1 - Date2) from table
date1 and date2 are datetime
