Re: MySQL query question...

Yes, this is a trivial task in mySQL..

And no, you dont need any temporary table...

Here is a simple example (using my own data)

mysql> SELECT send_time, DAYNAME(send_time) AS Day
    -> FROM BillArchive
    -> WHERE send_time BETWEEN '2005-08-02' AND '2005-08-05'
    -> HAVING Day = 'Wednesday'
    -> LIMIT 10;
+---------------------+-----------+
| send_time           | Day       |
+---------------------+-----------+
| 2005-08-03 15:41:40 | Wednesday |
| 2005-08-03 23:08:52 | Wednesday |
| 2005-08-03 16:12:23 | Wednesday |
| 2005-08-03 14:25:40 | Wednesday |
| 2005-08-03 19:50:22 | Wednesday |
| 2005-08-03 20:02:46 | Wednesday |
| 2005-08-03 14:25:40 | Wednesday |
| 2005-08-03 20:02:46 | Wednesday |
| 2005-08-03 22:37:50 | Wednesday |
| 2005-08-03 20:02:46 | Wednesday |
+---------------------+-----------+

You don't need a temporary table, but you do need a table that actually contains dates to select from. That's easy enough, but what I would really like to do is to select a list of dates from a table that doesn't exist. Similar to how you can SELECT 5+5 and get 10 without selecting from a table. I'd like to be able to say `SELECT date WHERE date BETWEEN start_date AND end_date AND DAY(date)='Wednesday';`	[reply] [d/l]
