CURDATE()

I am setting up a daily cron job to update the site map on my web site. I want to delete any records that weren’t updated by the cron job each day. The way I can distinguish this is with the timestamp column named “last_record_update” If a record wasn’t updated it is no longer part of the web site. I am trying to figure out if there is a way for me to use mysql’s date functions to query the records that are no longer part of the web site. What I tried below doesn’t work: ( CURDATE() . % ) The reason I wanted to use % is because the time will follow the date in a “timestamp” column Is there a similar way to do what I am trying: SELECT reference FROM sitemap_pages WHERE last_record_update NOT LIKE ( CURDATE() . % ) ORDER BY reference +0 Thanks for helping.
