Selecting all records from one year ago till now

Question

I have a table filled with a lot of rows and I need to select all the rows that are less than a year old till now.

The table (called orders) has a DateTime column named order_date, that's the field that determines when the order was placed.

How can I select all the records that have an order_date between now and a full year ago?

I think curdate() also can be used inplace of NOW() – Developer Feb 17 '11 at 10:33
@Dotnet , hi Dotdot , Do you know order_date is of what Datatype?? It can also be DATE TIME Field so , Why take risk ? You wont have to modify code though you change its datatype to DATE TIME . Getting ? – Pratik Apr 20 '15 at 07:31

this will work only for particular date but how will you check for the change in day or year each and every time you can not change the date right – Developer Feb 17 '11 at 10:37
