前言：

遇到朋友提问，如下：

SELECT * FROM ali_users WHERE DATEDIFF(CAST(CONCAT(DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),'%y'),DATE_FORMAT(birthday,'-%m-%d'))AS DATE),CAST(DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),'%y-%m-%d') AS DATE)) <=1

1，准备测试数据，需要包含跨年的数据

1.1，准备测试数据的SQL

USE test;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ali_users;
CREATE TABLE ali_users (username VARCHAR(10),birthday DATE NOT NULL,iphone VARCHAR(16));
INSERT INTO ali_users SELECT \'MaoYi\',\'1985-09-04\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'LiuEr\',\'1985-08-30\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'ZhangSan\',\'1981-01-01\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'LiSi\',\'1983-01-02\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'WangWu\',\'1984-11-01\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'ZhaoLiu\',\'1984-11-01\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'SongQi\',\'1986-08-31\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'HuangBa\',\'1989-09-01\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'ZengJiu\',\'1989-09-02\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'LuoShi\',\'1985-09-03\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'Tom\',\'1995-09-05\',\'13998786543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'Licy\',\'1991-12-30\',\'13998286543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'Cari\',\'1992-12-31\',\'13998286543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'Mark\',\'1992-01-03\',\'13998286543\' UNION ALL
SELECT \'Ruby\',\'1992-01-04\',\'13998286547\';
1.2，在数据库命令行执行SQL

2，写出查询SQL
SELECT * FROM ali_users WHERE
2,1，跨年问题分析
因为跨年的时候生日字段通常月份比较小是1月，所以如果利用DATEDIFF来判断要与月份比较大12月来比较得到相差天数在N天之内的话，就需要YEAR(NOW())+1，当年年份+1再加上月份才能与NOW()比较得出真实的相差天数。
2.2，5天之内的设定
N天之内，用 BETWEEN 0 AND N 来判断，如果是5天之内(包含今天)那么N值就是4，就是 BETWEEN 0 AND 4
3，验证数据
比如提醒最近5天之内(包括今日)过生日的同事，生日快乐。
3.1，查询的数据都在今年之内的，比如今天是8月30日，那么需要执行的SQL如下：
SELECT * FROM ali_users WHERE
查询的结果应该是从今天8月30日到9月3日之间过生日的同事，包括LiuEr,SongQi,HuangBa,ZengJiu,LuoShi;

mysql> SELECT * FROM ali_users WHERE
-> DATEDIFF(CAST(CONCAT(YEAR(NOW()),DATE_FORMAT(birthday,\'-%m-%d\'))AS DATE),CAST(DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),\'%y-%m-%d\') AS DATE)) BETWEEN 0 AND 4
-> OR/* or后面的是捎带解决跨年问题*/
-> DATEDIFF(CAST(CONCAT(YEAR(NOW())+1,DATE_FORMAT(birthday,\'-%m-%d\'))AS DATE),CAST(DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),\'%y-%m-%d\') AS DATE)) BETWEEN 0 AND 4
-> ;

5 ROWS IN SET (0.00 sec)

3.2，查询的生日有跨年的
比如今天是2013年12月30日，要查询5天之内过生日的同事，那么就有2013年的12月30日31日过生日的，也有2014年1月1日2日3日过生日的同事，因为今天是8月30日，所以要把Step#2中的SQL的NOW()改成'2013-12-30 00:10:10'来进行测试，SQL整理如下：
mysql> SELECT * FROM ali_users WHERE
-> DATEDIFF(CAST(CONCAT(YEAR(\'2013-12-30 00:10:10\'),DATE_FORMAT(birthday,\'-%m-%d\'))AS DATE),CAST(DATE_FORMAT(\'2013-12-30 00:10:10\',\'%y-%m-%d\') AS DATE)) BETWEEN 0 AND 4
-> OR/* or后面的是捎带解决跨年问题*/
-> DATEDIFF(CAST(CONCAT(YEAR(\'2013-12-30 00:10:10\')+1,DATE_FORMAT(birthday,\'-%m-%d\'))AS DATE),CAST(DATE_FORMAT(\'2013-12-30 00:10:10\',\'%y-%m-%d\') AS DATE)) BETWEEN 0 AND 4
-> ;
