In this article, we would like to show you how to select between two dates in MySQL.
Quick solution:
SELECT * FROM `table_name`
WHERE `column_name`
BETWEEN 'yyyy-mm-dd' AND 'yyyy-mm-dd';
Practical example
To show how to select between two dates, we will use the following table:

table between 2000-01-05
and 2000-01-08
.
Query:
SELECT * FROM `events`
WHERE (`event_date` BETWEEN '2021-01-05' AND '2021-01-08');
Output:
