mysql query with date search

[hozyali]

I have a table which has dates for events.
the mysql column type is datetime

Now I have a calendar which returns date only (not time)
and I have full date and time both in mysql records.

So I want to run the query so it searches for all the events in that specific date?

please advise.

thanks in advance.

Readable way:

DATE(event_date)=?

Optimized way (if you have millions of records):

where event_date > "$date 00:00:00" and event_date <= "$date 23:59:59"

Hi,

thanks very much for helping. Yes, I already tried with DATE() and it worked perfectly fine.

Thanks again for your help.
