Displaying records in between 2 fields

I have 2 fields in my database. One is startDate one is endDate. I want to display records according the current date. So far I can select all records where the startDate is greater or equal to now by using

Code:

SELECT *
FROM items
WHERE itemDateStart >= now

It seems the BETWEEN claus only accepts value, not fields.

So basically I want to select * from items between itemDateStart and itemDateEnd

Any help or advice?

Thanks...

Is the start date and end date unique to each record?

If it isn;t then I would suggest normalising your database and store them at a higher level.

What information is it relating to?
