MySQL ADDDATE Function

In this guide, we will explain how to use the MySQL ADDDATE function with syntax and examples.

Description

The MySQL ADDDATE function returns a date after which a certain time/date interval has been added.

Syntax

The syntax for the ADDDATE function in MySQL is:

ADDDATE( date, INTERVAL value unit )

OR

ADDDATE( date, days )

Parameters or Arguments

date

The date to which the interval should be added.

days

The number of days to add to date (second syntax).

value

The value of the time/date interval that you wish to add. You can specify positive and negative values for this parameter (first syntax).unit

The unit type of the interval such as DAY, MONTH, MINUTE, HOUR, and so on. It can be one of the following (first syntax):

unitCompatibility
MICROSECOND4.1.1+
SECOND3.2.3+
MINUTE3.2.3+
HOUR3.2.3+
DAY3.2.3+
WEEK5+
MONTH3.2.3+
QUARTER5+
YEAR3.2.3+
SECOND_MICROSECOND4.1.1+
MINUTE_MICROSECOND4.1.1+
MINUTE_SECOND4.1.1+
HOUR_MICROSECOND4.1.1+
HOUR_SECOND4.1.1+
HOUR_MINUTE3.2.3+
DAY_MICROSECOND4.1.1+
DAY_SECOND3.2.3+
DAY_MINUTE3.2.3+
DAY_HOUR3.2.3+
YEAR_MONTH3.2.3+

Note

  • If you specify an interval value that is too short for the unit that you have specified, the ADDDATE function will assume that the left-most portion of the interval value was not provided.
  • The ADDDATE function (first syntax only) is a synonym for the DATE_ADD function.
  • Using the ADDDATE function with a negative value as a parameter is equivalent to using the SUBDATE function.
  • See also the DATE_ADD, DATE_SUB, SUBDATE, ADDTIME, and SUBTIME functions.

Applies To

The ADDDATE function can be used in the following versions of MySQL:

  • MySQL 5.7, MySQL 5.6, MySQL 5.5, MySQL 5.1, MySQL 5.0, MySQL 4.1, MySQL 4.0, MySQL 3.23

Example

Let’s look at some MySQL ADDDATE function examples and explore how to use the ADDDATE function.

For example:

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21.000001', INTERVAL 4 MICROSECOND);
Result: '2014-02-13 08:44:21.000005'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21', INTERVAL -20 SECOND);
Result: '2014-02-13 08:44:01'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21', INTERVAL 25 MINUTE);
Result: '2014-02-13 09:09:21'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21', INTERVAL -2 HOUR);
Result: '2014-02-13 06:44:21'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13', INTERVAL 10 DAY);
Result: '2014-02-23'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13', 10);
Result: '2014-02-23'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13', INTERVAL 12 WEEK);
Result: '2014-05-08'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13', INTERVAL -3 MONTH);
Result: '2013-11-13'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13', INTERVAL 3 QUARTER);
Result: '2014-11-13'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13', INTERVAL 5 YEAR);
Result: '2019-02-13'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21.000001', INTERVAL '12.000001' SECOND_MICROSECOND);
Result: '2014-02-13 08:44:33.000002'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21.000001', INTERVAL '3:12.000001' MINUTE_MICROSECOND);
Result: '2014-02-13 08:47:33.000002'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21', INTERVAL '3:12' MINUTE_SECOND);
Result: '2014-02-13 08:47:33'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21.000001', INTERVAL '1:03:12.000001' HOUR_MICROSECOND);
Result: '2014-02-13 09:47:33.000002'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21', INTERVAL '1:03:12' HOUR_SECOND);
Result: '2014-02-13 09:47:33'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21', INTERVAL '1:03' HOUR_MINUTE);
Result: '2014-02-13 09:47:21'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21.000001', INTERVAL '7 1:03:12.000001' DAY_MICROSECOND);
Result: '2014-02-20 09:47:33.000002'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21', INTERVAL '7 1:03:12' DAY_SECOND);
Result: '2014-02-20 09:47:33'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21', INTERVAL '7 1:03' DAY_MINUTE);
Result: '2014-02-20 09:47:21'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13 08:44:21', INTERVAL '7 1' DAY_HOUR);
Result: '2014-02-20 09:44:21'

mysql> SELECT ADDDATE('2014-02-13', INTERVAL '5-3' YEAR_MONTH);
Result: '2019-05-13'
