MySQL INTERVAL Mins

Question

I am trying to get the all records which are 2 hours or more old using this query:

$minutes = 60 * 2

SELECT COUNT(id) AS TOTAL, job_id 
  from tlb_stats 
 W         


        

Answer 1

You can also do it in this way:

$minutes = 60 * 2

SELECT COUNT(`id`) AS `TOTAL`,
       `job_id` 
FROM `tlb_stats` 
WHERE `log_time` < NOW() - INTERVAL $minutes MINUTE
GROUP BY `job_id`

Answer 2

SELECT * FROM `table_name` WHERE CURTIME() >= (`colname` + INTERVAL 120 MINUTE)

Here, colname is the column where you added timestamp at the time when the record was created.

Answer 3

Try:

$minutes = 60 * 2

SELECT COUNT(`id`) AS `TOTAL`, `job_id` 
  FROM `tlb_stats` 
  WHERE `log_time` < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL $minutes MINUTE) 
  GROUP BY `job_id`

• use backticks to quote fields (words like "total" and "id" may someday mean something in MySQL)
• use NOW() for CURRENT_DATE just means 2010-08-04, not including the time
• use < to get entries older than that date.
