MySQL add days to a date

Question

I have a table in MySQL. What would be the sql statement look like to add say 2 days to the current date value in the table?

UPDATE classes 
SET 
date = date         


        

Answer 1

SET date = DATE_ADD( fieldname, INTERVAL 2 DAY )

Answer 2

UPDATE table SET nameofdatefield = ADDDATE(nameofdatefield, 2) WHERE ...

Answer 3

This query stands good for fetching the values between current date and its next 3 dates

SELECT * FROM tableName
WHERE columName BETWEEN CURDATE() AND DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 3 DAY)

This will eventually add extra 3 days of buffer to the current date.

Answer 4

Assuming your field is a date type (or similar):

SELECT DATE_ADD(`your_field_name`, INTERVAL 2 DAY) 
FROM `table_name`;

With the example you've provided it could look like this:

UPDATE classes 
SET `date` = DATE_ADD(`date` , INTERVAL 2 DAY)
WHERE `id` = 161;

This approach works with datetime , too.

Answer 5

update tablename set coldate=DATE_ADD(coldate, INTERVAL 2 DAY)

Answer 6
