USAGE

ADD_DATE_INTERVAL(date, number, unit_string)

Argument Name

Description

date

The starting date

number

The number of units to add

unit_string

The unit for the number in string form, such as 'day' or 'month'

DETAILS

ADD_DATE_INTERVAL() is a date-time function that adds an interval of time to a date.

A NULL is returned if any argument is NULL or the unit value is not valid (e.g., if you specified 'days' instead of 'day').

It is recommended that you CAST a string argument to a DATE or DATETIME type to ensure you get the return value you expect.

A similar function is DATE_ADD(). To subtract instead of add, see SUB_DATE_INTERVAL().
