[SOLVED] selecting all records 14 days from the current date

selecting all records 14 days from the current date

I am trying to get all records that have a date not further than 14 days from the current date.

Today's date is 12/7/2021.

When I run the following:

select sysdate + 14 from dual

I get the following results:

12/21/2021 9:16:25 PM

Therefore, I should not be getting any records past the above date.

The column I am looking at is eta. Here is the query:

select
  full_name
  eta
from table
where eta > sysdate + 14

But when I run that query, I am getting dates as far out as in April and May.

How do I correct this?

Solution

All you are doing with where eta > sysdate + 14 is asking for records with an eta greater than 14 days from current database date. What you want is a between:

select
  full_name
  eta
from table
where eta between sysdate and sysdate + 14

This will give you any record with an eta between today and 14 days from now.

If you want records up to 14 days into the future, regardless of a lower bound, then you want:

select
  full_name
  eta
from table
where eta <= sysdate + 14
