SQL Dates Tutorial

Example Table

We will create a table named events to demonstrate various SQL date operations:

CREATE TABLE events (
    event_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
    event_name VARCHAR(100),
    event_date DATE,
    event_time TIME,
    event_timestamp TIMESTAMP
);

Creating the Table

To create the table, use the following SQL command:

CREATE TABLE events (
    event_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
    event_name VARCHAR(100),
    event_date DATE,
    event_time TIME,
    event_timestamp TIMESTAMP
);

Result:

Inserting Data into the Table

Let's insert some data into the events table:

INSERT INTO events (event_id, event_name, event_date, event_time, event_timestamp) VALUES
(1, 'Conference', '2023-10-01', '09:00:00', '2023-10-01 09:00:00'),
(2, 'Meeting', '2023-10-02', '14:00:00', '2023-10-02 14:00:00'),
(3, 'Workshop', '2023-10-03', '11:00:00', '2023-10-03 11:00:00');

Result:

Querying the Table

We can query the events table to see the data:

SELECT * FROM events;

Result:
