How can I get partition name from value in MySQL/MariaDB I have my table partitioned on day of month basis.

Now I need to archive data of the last 16th day date_add(now(), interval -16 day) to another table. For that I need to find out the partition name that contains data of the date, so that I can exchange the partition and export to another table.

But my problem is,I don't know how to find the partition name from value, "I need to exchange and archive.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks
information_schema.PARTITIONS.PARTITION_DESCRIPTION


Consider naming the partitions in an obvious way, such as

p20200419


to contain data for the 19th (and defined LESS THAN ('2020-04-20'))

Example

Given:

SHOW CREATE TABLE pmdemo.pmdemo\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: pmdemo
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `pmdemo` (
  `dt` datetime NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
/*!50100 PARTITION BY RANGE (TO_DAYS(dt))
(PARTITION `start` VALUES LESS THAN (0) ENGINE = MyISAM,
 PARTITION from20121008 VALUES LESS THAN (735150) ENGINE = MyISAM,
 PARTITION from20121009 VALUES LESS THAN (735151) ENGINE = MyISAM,
 PARTITION from20121010 VALUES LESS THAN (735152) ENGINE = MyISAM,
 PARTITION from20121011 VALUES LESS THAN (735153) ENGINE = MyISAM,
 PARTITION future VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE ENGINE = MyISAM) */
1 row in set (0.01 sec)


This select:

mysql&gt; SELECT * FROM information_schema.`PARTITIONS`
      WHERE table_name = 'pmdemo'
        AND partition_description = TO_DAYS('2012-10-10')\G
