MySQL select records 1 hour ago or fresher on datetime column

Question

Hi I need help with a database MySQL query.

What where clause can I use to select records that are one hour ago or fresher using a DATETIME timestamp?

Solution

Something like this? I assume an DATETIME timestamp is an DATETIME field.

SELECT * FROM table WHERE datetimefield >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 HOUR)

For more information check MySQL's date/time functions.

The query is good, but he wants '1 hour or younger', that would be WHERE field >= DATE_SUB..., wouldn't it?

This returns other dates as well within the "1 Hour" not just now.
