help with between query

[dadamssg87]

i have table in my db that has rows of dates, for example...

 

      id      |                date                  |                created          |        display    |    group        |

      1        |    2011-05-21 00:00:00    |  2011-05-24 20:00:00    |          Y          |        20          |

      2        |    2011-05-22 00:00:00    |  2011-05-24 22:00:00    |          N          |        20        |

      3        |    2011-05-23 00:00:00    |  2011-05-26 22:00:00    |          N          |        20          |

      4        |    2011-05-24 00:00:00    |  2011-05-26 22:00:00    |          N          |        20          |

      5        |    2011-05-25 00:00:00    |  2011-05-30 22:00:00    |          N          |        20          |

 

I'm trying to query dates that fall on or between two dates. So if i input "2011-05-21 00:00:00" and "2011-05-24 00:00:00" rows 1-4 would be pulled up. I've never used between and can't figure it out. The following query pulls up nothing

 

SELECT *
FROM `Exceptions`
WHERE 'date' BETWEEN '2011-05-21 00:00:00' AND '2011-05-24 00:00:00'

 

and neither does this one

ELECT *
FROM `Exceptions`
WHERE date('date') BETWEEN date('2011-05-21 00:00:00') AND date('2011-05-24 00:00:00')

try using backtics here:

WHERE 'date' BETWEEN

 

should read

WHERE `date` BETWEEN

[The Little Guy]

SELECT *
FROM `Exceptions`
WHERE `date` BETWEEN '2011-05-21 00:00:00' AND '2011-05-24 23:59:59'

 

I don't know how your table will store the data, but you may want to include everything till the end of the day which is why you should note the time for the second date. If not, keep them as 0's
