 ====================================For Current Month============================= 
 SELECT name, created_at as created_date 
 FROM employees
 WHERE MINUTE(login_time) > 10 AND
 MONTH(created_at) = MONTH(NOW()) - 1 ORDER BY `id` DESC ;

====================================For Current Month=============================

 SELECT name, created_at as created_date 
 FROM employees
 WHERE MINUTE(login_time) > 8 AND
 MONTH(created_at) = MONTH(NOW()) ORDER BY `id` DESC ;

Example-5

In MySQL – Delete all rows older than 10 minutes. Use the below query for that:

if time_created is mysql timestamp, you can use the query for delete.

DELETE 
FROM employees 
WHERE time_created < (NOW() - INTERVAL 10 MINUTE)
