Sorry about the generic title, I didn't know how to phrase this.
I have a DateTime in my MySQL DB. For example: 14/06/2016 15:01:00
When I try to do a query to find dates which equal certain dates it won't find anything, unless I used the Americanised date format. Yet it's stored in the English way.
Eg:
Select * FROM tbl WHERE Date = '14/06/2016' - Doesn't return any results
But Select * FROM tbl WHERE Date = '2016/06/14' does return results.
Why is this? And how can I swap it around?

The DATETIME type is used for values that contain both date and time parts. MySQL retrieves and displays DATETIME values in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' format. The supported range is '1000-01-01 00:00:00' to '9999-12-31 23:59:59'.
If you're seeing a different format, your SQL client is "helpfully" changing the output from the underlying data storage.

I want to fetch all datas that corresponds in the chosen date range.
So the problem is that. When theres included time in the data. It can't fetch the required data to be displayed. But when I remove the time on it. It displays really well. What can I do to make it right?
EXAMPLE VALUES:
2018-10-29 01:21:29pm
2018-10-30 01:21:29pm
EXAMPLE VALUES THAT WORKS:
2018-10-29
2018-10-30
My query:
`"SELECT *,SUBSTRING(order_date,1,10) from orders where order_date >='$fromdate' AND order_date <='$todate'"`
Ideal Solution: You will need to change the datatype of order_date from Varchar(500) to Datetime type, using Alter Table command.
Now, it is noteworthy that the MySQL datetime value is in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format. So firstly, you will need to change your datetime string to MySQL datetime format string. Otherwise, directly changing the datatype will lead to irreparable loss/truncation of data.
Your datetime value 2018-10-29 01:21:29pm is basically of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AM/PM (12 hour format). In terms of format specifiers, it would be: '%Y-%m-%d %h:%i:%s%p'. Complete list of available format specifiers can be seen in MySQL docs.
Firstly, we use Str_To_Date() function to convert all your data into proper Datetime format.
UPDATE orders
SET order_date = STR_TO_DATE(order_date, '%Y-%m-%d %h:%i:%s%p');
Now, next step is simple. Just modify the datatype to datetime:
ALTER TABLE orders
MODIFY COLUMN order_date datetime;
I'm trying to add Dates into a database using MySqlCommand, but the date isn't added correctly. Let me explain. I get the the actual Date like this:
Dim book_datetime = Date.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
As you can see I parse the Date in this format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
and it's all working well, but when I perform the insert in my db I get this:
2015-12-15
instead of this
2015-12-15 11:48:30
This is my code that peform the insert:
query = "INSERT INTO setting (book_datetime)
VALUES(#book_datetimep)"
MySqlCommand = New MySqlCommand(query, dbCon)
MySqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#book_datetimep", book_datetime)
My Database book_datetime contains a Date field. What is wrong? The book_datetime is filled correctly after I parse it but when it gets inserted in the DB I get another format. I saw that if I change the field from Date to Text I get the correct format, but why?
From the MySQL documentation here:
The DATE type is used for values with a date part but no time part.
MySQL retrieves and displays DATE values in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format. The
supported range is '1000-01-01' to '9999-12-31'.
The DATETIME type is used for values that contain both date and time
parts. MySQL retrieves and displays DATETIME values in 'YYYY-MM-DD
HH:MM:SS' format. The supported range is '1000-01-01 00:00:00' to
'9999-12-31 23:59:59'.
Use DATETIME as your field type instead of DATE and the time portion of your date won't be truncated on insert.
I have got timestamps in epoch UNIX format. I want to run a query by directly giving date and not timestamp. How is that possible?
SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(timestamp)
FROM report_data
WHERE timestamp = '1399376713'
I used this to convert to human readable format.
My database is something like this
timestamp event_type flags
1399357862 701 null
I want to give a particular date in my query and get the result.
It's possible using the FROM_UNIXTIME function.
This assumes that your table contains columns in DATETIME or TIMESTAMP, and you are wanting to supply 32-bit integer values in the query.
For example:
SELECT ...
FROM mytable t
WHERE t.datetime_col >= FROM_UNIXTIME( ? )
AND t.datetime_col < FROM_UNIXTIME( ? )
The integer values supplied as arguments to the FROM_UNIXTIME function will be interpreted as unix-style "seconds since epoch" integer values, and be converted to a DATETIME value using the current timezone setting of the client connection.
This approach will enable MySQL to use a range scan operation using an index with a leading column of datetime_col.
What's not at all clear is what the datatype of your column is, and what values you want to supply in the query. If the columns is datatype DATE, DATETIME or TIMESTAMP (which would be the normative pattern for storing date/time data), then you can specify date literals in standard MySQL format, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'.
WHERE t.timestamp_col >= '2015-02-11 07:00'
AND t.timestamp_col < '2015-02-11 23:30:00'
If you are storing the "timestamp" as an integer value, then you will need the right side of the predicates to return an integer value, e.g.
WHERE t.integer_col >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-02-10')
AND t.integer_col < UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2015-02-10' + INTERVAL 24 HOUR)
I am trying to store the date in mysql as mm-dd-yyyy.
The following query updates the table stores the date as 0000-00-00
UPDATE `h3`.`newbatch` SET `DateCreated` = '11-08-2013' WHERE
`newbatch`.`BatchID` =
1 AND `newbatch`.`DateCreated` = '2013-11-08' LIMIT 1
I can always use DATE_FORMAT(DateCreated,'%m %d %Y') during select but is there a way to store date in that format.
The datatype of DateCreated is Date.
I am using MySQL.
Thanks
Do not modify the storage format of a date. The format for the date data type is ISO 8601 standard for a reason. You will lose the ability to perform most date functions elegantly (without first converting to the standard date format). You do the formatting when you run a query.
Does MySQL provide any function which verifies the validity of a date? The DATE function returns NULL upon provision of the invalid date 2013-02-30 for example. However, I am also using STR_TO_DATE simultaneously, which mysteriously stops DATE from working correctly.
SELECT DATE('2013-02-30'); NULL
SELECT STR_TO_DATE('2013-02-30', '%Y-%m-%d'); NOT NULL
SELECT DATE('2013-02-40'); NULL
SELECT STR_TO_DATE('2013-02-40', '%Y-%m-%d'); NULL
SELECT DATE(STR_TO_DATE('2013-02-30', '%Y-%m-%d')); NOT NULL
Why does STR_TO_DATE halt DATE's functionality and is there some workaround to verify if a date is valid when using STR_TO_DATE (which I am obligated to use)?
I have stumbled upon the answer in the meantime: apparently the DATE function skips a few validation checks, when the data type is already that of 'date' (STR_TO_DATE converts strings to date data types). Therefore, converting the date to a string after having parsed it to the correct format with STR_TO_DATE, does the trick:
#valid_date = NOT ISNULL(DATE(CONVERT(STR_TO_DATE('2013-02-29', '%Y-%m-%d'), CHAR))).
It is very difficult to verify if a field is a date because of all the different possible date formats that would need to be taken into account. BUT if you know that the field date formats are one of these:
'yyyy-mm-dd'
'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'
'yyyy-mm-dd whatever'
This code will help you:
SELECT count(*) FROM `table`
WHERE DATE(STR_TO_DATE(`column`, '%Y-%m-%d')) IS NOT NULL
AND `column` NOT REGEXP '^[0-9\.]+$'
Basically :
the first condition tells you if is a date, but unfortunately doesn't exclude numbers (ex: DATE(STR_TO_DATE(**1**, '%Y-%m-%d')) = '2001-00-00'
the second ensures that numbers are excluded, which leaves you with dates only that follow the formats above.
If count(*) is >0 then it's a date, if it is 0 it's something else.
Note
This method works for strings of any date format as long as you know in advance what format they follow (which I know is not always the case but still helpful). Just replace the format a priori in STR_TO_DATE
i can't understand your purpose clearly, maybe this is a idea;
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(yourFiled, '%Y-%m-%d') days FROM yourTable GROUP BY days;
this is not null; you can change it. some like
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(yourFiled, '%Y-%m-%d') days FROM yourTable WHERE yourFiled > '2013-9-23 00:00:00' GROUP By days;
Try this:
SELECT DATE(STR_TO_DATE('2013-00-30', '%Y-%m-%d')); --is also NOT NULL
