Syntax error Select data and set value to boolean based on timestamp column in MySQL

Select data and set value to boolean based on timestamp column in MySQL



For this, use IF(). Let us first see the current date −

mysql> select curdate();
+------------+
| curdate()  |
+------------+
| 2019-12-10 |
+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1890
   (
   DueDate timestamp
   );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1890 values('2017-12-10');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1890 values('2021-12-10');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1890 values('2018-04-24');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1890 values('2020-05-11');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1890;

This will produce the following output −

+---------------------+
| DueDate             |
+---------------------+
| 2017-12-10 00:00:00 |
| 2021-12-10 00:00:00 |
| 2018-04-24 00:00:00 |
| 2020-05-11 00:00:00 |
+---------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to select data and set value based on timestamp column −

mysql> select if(DueDate > curdate() - interval 2 year,false,true) as Status from DemoTable1890;

This will produce the following output −

+--------+
| Status |
+--------+
|      1 |
|      0 |
|      0 |
|      0 |
+--------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
