homework

Hello,

This should be fairly simple, but I can't get my head around it.

I have an event in my database with a startDate and an endDate.

I need to display this event (based on the current date) on every day the event occurs.

So if the event starts on the 3rd of May and finishes on the 7th of May, the SQL query must find it on every single day.

How can I achieve this?

SELECT * FROM events WHERE startDate ???

Thanks,

Tim
