Not displaying dates but instead moving them to a different column - mysql

Question

Having an issue with a join code where the code is executing but is giving me a warning that it is truncating my PROD_INTO_DATE but I noticed that it was entered into the PROD_CAT_CD column.
INSERT INTO `goac`.`product`
(`PROD_ID`,
`PROD_NM`,
`PROD_SKU_NO`,
`PROD_CAT_CD`,
`PROD_PACKAGE_SIZE_NO`,
`PROD_INTRO_DT`)
select distinct
c.PROD_ID, c.PROD_NM, c.PROD_SKU_NO,c.PROD_INTRO_DT,
s.PROD_PACKAGE_SIZE_NO, s.PROD_CAT_CD
FROM ods_product AS c
join ods_sale_large as s
on s.PROD_NM = c.PROD_NM;
select * from product
Where the data is being inserted
The PROD_CAT_CD has data that should be there.
And where the join is coming from it should be fine because it sees the date as date.
from the ods_product

You need to insert the columns in the same order as in the insert column list:
INSERT INTO `goac`.`product` (`PROD_ID`, `PROD_NM`, `PROD_SKU_NO`, `PROD_CAT_CD`, `PROD_PACKAGE_SIZE_NO`, `PROD_INTRO_DT`)
select distinct c.PROD_ID, c.PROD_NM, c.PROD_SKU_NO, s.PROD_CAT_CD, s.PROD_PACKAGE_SIZE_NO, c.PROD_INTRO_DT
from ods_product c join
ods_sale_large s
on s.PROD_NM = c.PROD_NM;
Once I had a colleague that I respected very much. She initially had the same confusion with insert . . . although you list the columns and the select also has column names, the matching is by position rather than by name.
