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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
