SUBDATE() vs DATE_SUB() in MySQL: What’s the Difference?
The difference between the MySQL SUBDATE() and DATE_SUB() functions is exactly the same as the difference between the ADDDATE() and DATE_ADD() functions. One function allows for two different syntax forms, whereas the other allows for just one.
This article demonstrates the difference.
ADDDATE() vs DATE_ADD() in MySQL: What’s the Difference?
When using MySQL, we have the option of using the ADDDATE() and DATE_ADD() functions whenever we want to add a specific time interval to a given date. Both these functions do the same thing, but there is one difference between them.
This article demonstrates the difference between ADDDATE() and DATE_ADD() in MySQL.
SUBDATE() Examples – MySQL
In MySQL, you can use the SUBDATE() function to subtract a specified amount of time from a date. For example, you could use it to subtract 10 days from a given date. You can specify whether to subtract days, weeks, months, quarters, years, etc. You can also subtract a time value, such as seconds, microseconds, etc.
When using the first syntax listed below, the SUBDATE() function is a synonym for the DATE_SUB() function (similar to how ADDDATE() is a synonym for DATE_ADD() when using the same syntax).
DATE_SUB() Examples – MySQL
In MySQL, you can use the DATE_SUB() function to subtract a specified amount of time from a date. For example, you can use it to subtract 7 days from a given date. You can specify whether to subtract days, weeks, months, quarters, years, etc. You can also subtract a time value, such as seconds, microseconds, etc.
This function is similar to DATE_ADD(), except that it subtracts from a date instead of adds to it.
DATE_ADD() Examples – MySQL
In MySQL, you can use the DATE_ADD() function to add a specified amount of time to a date. For example, you could use it to add 5 days to a given date. You can specify whether to add days, weeks, months, quarters, years, etc. You can also add a time value, such as seconds, microseconds, etc.
This article contains examples that demonstrate how the DATE_ADD() function works.
ADDDATE() Examples – MySQL
In MySQL, you can use the ADDDATE() function to add a specified amount of time to a date. For example, you could use it to add 10 days to a given date. You can specify whether to add days, weeks, months, quarters, years, etc. You can also add a time value, such as seconds, microseconds, etc.
The ADDDATE() function is a synonym for the DATE_ADD() function (they both do the same thing) when using the first syntax listed below.
This article contains examples to demonstrate usage of the ADDDATE() function.
List of Date and Time Functions in SQL Server (T-SQL)
This post contains a list of Transact-SQL date and time functions available in SQL Server (as of SQL Server 2017).
This includes functions that return the date or parts of the date, as well as functions that manipulate and/or format the date.
YEAR() Examples in SQL Server (T-SQL)
In SQL Server, you can use the YEAR() function to return the “year” part of a date. This is returned as an integer.
Below are examples of how to use this function.
MONTH() Examples in SQL Server (T-SQL)
In SQL Server, you can use the MONTH() function to return the “month” part of a date. This is returned as an integer (not the month name).
Below are examples of how to use this function.
