SQL Query to Get Yesterday and Tomorrow

Queries help the users to interact with a database for creating, insertion, deleting, updating data in a database with different queries.

In this article let us see how to get yesterday and tomorrow with respect to the given dates in the database.

Example –

Given date: 2021-03-23
Yesterday: 2021-03-22 Monday
Tomorrow: 2021-03-24 Wednesday

Creating a database calendar:

CREATE DATABASE calendar;

Using the database calendar

USE calendar;

Creating a Table schedule:

CREATE TABLE schedule
(dates date);

Viewing the description of the table:

DESCRIBE schedule;

Inserting rows into the schedule:

INSERT INTO schedule VALUES('2021-03-23');
INSERT INTO schedule VALUES('2020-08-04');
INSERT INTO schedule VALUES('2021-06-08');
INSERT INTO schedule VALUES('2030-04-04');
INSERT INTO schedule VALUES('2025-09-13');
  

Viewing the data in the table:

SELECT* FROM schedule;

Query to get the yesterday and tomorrow of current date:

To get the yesterday and tomorrow of the current date we can use the CURRDATE() function in MySQL and subtract 1 from it to get yesterday and add 1 to it to get tomorrow.

SELECT CURDATE(),
    DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS yesterday,
    DATE_ADD(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS tomorrow;

Here we can change the default column header to some other name by using AS.

Example1: 

Query to get yesterday and tomorrow of dates in the table:

Syntax:
SELECT CURDATE(),
DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS some_name
DATE_ADD(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS some_name;

 SELECT dates,
     DATE_SUB(dates,INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS yesterday,
     DATE_ADD(dates,INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS tomorrow
     FROM schedule;

Example2: 

Query to get the yesterday and tomorrow dates in the table with weekdays:

Syntax:

SELECT column_name,
DATE_SUB(column_name,INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS some_name,
DATE_ADD(column_name,INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS some_name,
DAYNAME(current_date),
DAYNAME(previous_day),
DAYNAME(next_day);
 

  SELECT dates,
     DATE_SUB(dates,INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS yesterday,
     DATE_ADD(dates,INTERVAL 1 DAY) AS tomorrow,
     DAYNAME(dates) AS weekdayofdate,
     DAYNAME(DATE_SUB(dates,INTERVAL 1 DAY)) AS weekdayofYd,
     DAYNAME( DATE_ADD(dates,INTERVAL 1 DAY)) AS weekdayofTm
     FROM schedule;
