Query to get all rows from previous month
MysqlMysql Problem Overview
I need to select all rows in my database that were created last month.
For example, if the current month is January, then I want to return all rows that were created in December, if the month is February, then I want to return all rows that were created in January. I have a date_created
column in my database that lists the date created in this format: 2007-06-05 14:50:17
.
Mysql Solutions
Solution 1 - Mysql
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE YEAR(date_created) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
AND MONTH(date_created) = MONTH(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
Solution 2 - Mysql
Here's another alternative. Assuming you have an indexed DATE
or DATETIME
type field, this should use the index as the formatted dates will be type converted before the index is used. You should then see a range
query rather than an index
query when viewed with EXPLAIN.
SELECT
*
FROM
table
WHERE
date_created >= DATE_FORMAT( CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH, '%Y/%m/01' )
AND
date_created < DATE_FORMAT( CURRENT_DATE, '%Y/%m/01' )

If there are no future dates ...
SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE date_created > (NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH);
Tested.

Alternatively to hobodave's answer
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE YEAR(date_created) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
AND MONTH(date_created) = MONTH(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
You could achieve the same with EXTRACT, using YEAR_MONTH as unit, thus you wouldn't need the AND, like so:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM date_created) = EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM CURDATE() - INTERVAL
1 MONTH)
Solution 5 - Mysql
SELECT *
FROM yourtable
where DATE_FORMAT(date_created, '%Y-%m') = date_format(DATE_SUB(curdate(), INTERVAL 1 month),'%Y-%m')
This should return all the records from the previous calendar month, as opposed to the records for the last 30 or 31 days.

Even though the answer for this question has been selected already, however, I believe the simplest query will be
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE
date_created BETWEEN (CURRENT_DATE() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH) AND CURRENT_DATE();
Solution 7 - Mysql
WHERE created_date >= DATE_ADD(LAST_DAY(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 2 MONTH)), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
AND created_date <= DATE_ADD(LAST_DAY(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)), INTERVAL 0 DAY)
This worked for me (Selects all records created from last month, regardless of the day you run the query this month)
Solution 8 - Mysql
Alternative with single condition
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE YEAR(date_created) * 12 + MONTH(date_created)
= YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) * 12 + MONTH(CURRENT_DATE) - 1
Solution 9 - Mysql
select fields FROM table WHERE date_created LIKE concat(LEFT(DATE_SUB(NOW(), interval 1 month),7),'%');
this one will be able to take advantage of an index if your date_created is indexed, because it doesn't apply any transformation function to the field value.

Here is the query to get the records of the last month:
SELECT *
FROM `tablename`
WHERE `datefiled`
BETWEEN DATE_SUB( DATE( NOW( ) ) , INTERVAL 1
MONTH )
AND
LAST_DAY( DATE_SUB( DATE( NOW( ) ) , INTERVAL 1
MONTH ) )

One more way to do this in:
MYSQL
select * from <table_name> where date_created >= DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL -30 DAY);
Solution 12 - Mysql
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE YEAR(date_created) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
AND MONTH(date_created) = MONTH(CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
