SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE table_name.the_date > DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) shareimprove this answer answered Dec 11 '09 at 14:54 Guillaume Flandre 5,19343148

1   If the records are stored as DATETIME, this will select all records from the previous date, disregarding the time part. Been run at 23:59:59, the query will return all records for the last 48 hours, not 24. – Quassnoi Dec 11 '09 at 15:02 8   If you want to select the last 24 hours from a datetime field, substitute 'curate()' with 'now()'. This also includes the time. – Haentz Apr 30 '11 at 6:11  add a comment

In MySQL: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE record_date >= CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 DAY In SQL Server: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE record_date >= DATEADD(day, -1, GETDATE()) In Oracle: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE record_date >= SYSDATE - 1 In PostgreSQL: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE record_date >= NOW() - '1 day'::INTERVAL In Redshift: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE record_date >= GETDATE() - '1 day'::INTERVAL In SQLite: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE record_date >= datetime('now','-1 day') In MS Access: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE record_date >= (Now - 1) shareimprove this answer edited Jan 11 at 20:30 Jeeped 32.4k112143 answered Dec 11 '09 at 14:52 Quassnoi 236k46394449

I try the query for mysql but if its 2AM, for example, i get the records from 00 - 02 AM. Two hours only instead of 24. Any ideas? – John Jul 15 '14 at 22:36 I very much like the solution provided here, just what I noted in MySQL is the performance of Guillaume Flandre solution was faster. – oneworld Jul 31 '14 at 0:36 Perfect answer! – Bertie Jul 23 '15 at 8:52 add a comment
