mysql select query by date before 8 august

To select data from a MySQL table where a date column’s value is before August 8th, you can use the < operator with a specific date string. The date string should be in the YYYY-MM-DD format.

Here’s an example:

Code

SELECT column1, column2
FROM your_table_name
WHERE date_column_name < '2025-08-08';

Explanation:

• SELECT column1, column2: Specifies the columns you want to retrieve from the table. Replace column1, column2 with the actual column names you need.
• FROM your_table_name: Specifies the table from which you want to retrieve data. Replace your_table_name with the actual name of your table. 
• WHERE date_column_name < '2025-08-08': This is the crucial part of the query.
  • date_column_name: Replace this with the actual name of your date or datetime column.
  • <: This is the “less than” operator, which filters for dates strictly before the specified date.
  • '2025-08-08': This is the date you are comparing against. Ensure it’s in the YYYY-MM-DD format. Adjust the year as needed for your specific scenario.
