Is that

date

column of type

DATE

? By the way, although you can get away with it you really shouldn't use reserved words for column names.

hey coopster. it's type datetime.

If your database supports the YEAR function you could simply ...

SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE YEAR(`date`) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE);

your awesome coopster. thanks.

hey coopster. How do i query all the rows for the current year up to todays date? Thanks.

Up to today's date? The query above will do that. It grabs every entry in your database table that has the same year as the year in the current date, which would be every day from January 1 through today.

Sorry about that. What i meant is how do i query all the rows for the current year up to lets say the date five days ago? Thanks.

You just need to add to the query. Check first for the same year as shown, and then add to the clause by checking for dates where the column is less than (or equal to)

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL 5 DAY

.

SELECT 
 * 
 FROM transactions 
 WHERE 
  YEAR(`date`) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) AND 
  `date` <= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL 5 DAY 
;

thank you.
