ADDDATE
adds some amount of time to the specified dateSELECT
ADDDATE('2021-03-25', INTERVAL 8 DAY)
SUBDATE
subtracts some amount of time from the specified dateSELECT
SUBDATE('2021-03-25', INTERVAL 30 DAY)
DATEDIFF
Calculates the number of days between the two parameters.
In this example the function returns 12
which is the number of days between the datesSELECT
DATEDIFF('2021-03-25', '2021-03-13')
The function returns negative number
if the second date is greater than the first one.
In the example the result will be -12
SELECT
DATEDIFF('2021-03-13', '2021-03-25')
MAKETIME
takes three parameters as hour, minute and time and returns formatted time like: 18:15:19
SELECT
MAKETIME(18, 15, 19)
DATE_FORMAT
returns formatted version of the datetime string passed as the first parameterSELECT
DATE_FORMAT('2022-03-25 18:24:14', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s')
In this example we only need to get month and day with underscore between the valuesSELECT
DATE_FORMAT('2022-03-25 18:24:14', '%m_%d')
full_name
that concatenates the two parameters and returns the resultDROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS full_name;
CREATE FUNCTION full_name ( first_name VARCHAR(100), last_name VARCHAR(100) )
RETURNS VARCHAR(210)
RETURN CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name);
After creating the function we can call it:SELECT
full_name('John', 'Swift');
VIEW
called student_notes
that selects all notes with their authorsCREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS student_notes AS
SELECT
students.first_name,
students.last_name,
notes.*
FROM students
JOIN notes ON notes.student_id = students.id
After creating the VIEW
then we can use it as regular table like this example:SELECT *
FROM student_notes
