mysql - Sql query to select from 1 hour ago?

Question

I have this query but I want to change the date to delete everything that is from more than 1 hour ago based on the server time (or if not possible by server time by post date). How do I do that?

DELETE FROM wp_posts
 WHERE post_date < '2008-06-06 19:18:00' 
   AND post_status = 'publish'

Answer 1

Use:

DELETE FROM wp_posts
 WHERE post_date < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL '1' HOUR)
   AND post_status = 'publish'

Reference:

• DATE_ADD
• DATE_SUB
