How to compare these types in Ruby on Rails in MySQL database?

Question

MySQL

There is such a type (record) in the database:
2016-03-04 14:14:11 UTC
And this 2016-01-01T00:00.
I want to compare these dates, but in what format does it output in order to compare later?
Table.where(???)

Answer 1

Datetime can be converted to DB format datetime.to_s(:db)
