What is the method for comparing timestamps in MySQL?

In MySQL, comparison operators (such as greater than, less than, equal to, etc.) can be used to compare timestamps. Here are some common comparison methods:

  1. Compare using the greater than (>) and less than (<) operators:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE timestamp_column > '2019-01-01 00:00:00';

This will return all rows with timestamp columns greater than the given date.

  1. Compare using the greater than or equal to (>=) and less than or equal to (<=) operators:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE timestamp_column >= '2019-01-01 00:00:00' AND timestamp_column <= '2020-12-31 23:59:59';

This will return all rows with timestamp columns within the given date range.

  1. Compare using the equal (=) operator.
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE timestamp_column = '2019-01-01 00:00:00';

This will return the rows where all timestamp columns are equal to the given date.

  1. Use the BETWEEN … AND … statement for comparison.
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE timestamp_column BETWEEN '2019-01-01 00:00:00' AND '2020-12-31 23:59:59';

This will return all rows with timestamps within the given date range.

Please note that the timestamp format in the above examples may need to be adjusted according to the actual situation.
