what the best way via the myphpadmin to do this.

cant sell something before you buy, using dates.
So you buy it 1 nov but you cant sell it before that given date.

Code:
select product_id from products where release_date > "2022-11-01 00:00:00"

What I mean is, in the gui tables you lock them so you cant enter a date before you purchase the item.

you buy car on the 10 nov, but the sell column must start from the date given in the buy column.

I wouldn't do this at database level, unless the people using it are going to be directly modifying the database tables (which would be a bad idea).

This sort of data dependent validation belongs in the application layer, not the database itself.

If you really want to do it, you would be looking to add a check constraint.
