How to compare two dates in SQL?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to compare two dates in SQL?

Answer 1

We can compare two dates using equals to, less than, and greater than operators in SQL. Here are the examples comparing dates in SQL:

If you want to find the employees joined on April 28^th, 2020 from employee table:

SELECT E_id, E_name from Employee where join_date = ‘2020-04-28’;

You can use the less than and greater than operators in a similar way.

Here is the statement to find employees who joined between March 28^th, 2020 and April 28^th, 2020:

SELECT E_id, E_name from Employee where join_date between ‘2020-03-28’ and ‘2020-04-28’;

You can master these queries and become proficient in SQL queries by enrolling in an industry-recognized SQL certification.
