mysql - WHERE datetime older than some time (eg. 15 minutes)

Question

I was looking at:

MySQL Select rows where timestamp column between now and 10 minutes ago

I have a col named creation_date holding a datetime stamp: 2013-09-10 11:06:42

I would like to pull all records that are OLDER than 15 minutes using:

WHERE creation_date >= DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 15 MINUTE)

However the query always returns 0 results, even with items older then 15 minutes present in the database.

Answer 1

older would be WHERE creation_date < DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 15 MINUTE)
