finding if an anniversary is coming up in n days in MySql
- by user151841
I have a table with anniversary dates. I want a query that returns me rows of anniversaries coming up in the next 10 days. For instance:
birthdate
---------
1965-10-10
1982-05-25
SELECT birthdate FROM Anniversaries WHERE mystical_magical_mumbo_jumbo <= 10
+------------+
| birthdate |
+------------+
| 1982-05-25 |
+------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
I'd like to keep the query in the form x <= 10, because I'll use that number 10 in other parts of the query, and if I set it to a variable, I can change it once everywhere by changing the variable, and not have to re-write the query.
