In the above query we select those records where order_date falls after a past interval of 30 days. We use system function now() to get the latest datetime value, and INTERVAL clause to calculate a date 30 days in the past.
You can also use current_date instead of now()
mysql> select * from sales
where order_date > current_date - interval 30 day;
