Hello List,

Is it true that the date_sub function(s) will only work on datetime column
types?

SELECT count(id) as id FROM messages WHERE client_id = '2' AND datetime_col
> date_sub(NOW(),interval 1 day)

To get the above query to work, I had to change my datetime_col column from
timestamp to datetime, and that breaks A LOT of formatting work I had done
previously when I thought I was only going to be able to keep with a
timestamp column type.

Could someone suggest a replacement query for the one above, where I would
not have to change my datetime column from timestamp to datetime?



Alternatively, could someone suggest a Java alternative to the following
that would  allow me to get the HH:mm from a datetime column type?

SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm").format(rs.getTime("datetime_col"))

I tried playing around with rs.getDate to get HH:mm, but couldn't see the
light. Specifically, (rs.getDate("datetime_col").getTime()) did not work.


Anyone? It's 4:35 AM. I'm dying. Many Thanks.
