I used MYSQL TIME() function to change the time format. But it gives only the time, not recognize the am or pm.
I got 01:30:00 from TIME('01:30 pm'). I want to achieve it only in MYSQL. No PHP or others. Please advice.
Thats not a real time you are storing in mysql since you also have am/pm
You first need to convert to real datetime using str_to_date and then use time_format
mysql> select time_format(str_to_date('01:30 pm','%h:%i %p'),'%H:%i:%s') as time ;
+----------+
| time |
+----------+
| 13:30:00 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Use this function TIME_FORMAT(time,format)

I have a MySQL table that has date field in UTC default format. I want to also store the same date/time in PST format in another column in same table. Is it possible to do it in an SQL?
You can use convert_tz to do conversion between different time zone.
mysql> select convert_tz('2016-03-16 7:00:00', '+00:00','-08:00');
+-----------------------------------------------------+
| convert_tz('2016-03-16 7:00:00', '+00:00','-08:00') |
+-----------------------------------------------------+
| 2016-03-15 23:00:00 |
+-----------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
To do the task you mentioned in your post, just use a UPDATE as below
update tbl set col2 = convert_tz(col1, '+00:00','-08:00');
I guess I figured it out. Using DATE_SUB(datetimeutc,INTERVAL 8 HOUR) resolved my problem.
I have two columns in MySQL database.
One is in DATE format like 2014-01-26, another one is in DATETIME format: 2014-01-25 17:19:07.
I need to apply TIMEDIFF(2014-01-26, 2014-01-25 17:19:07) function, but it requires both variables are in DATETIME format. How can I convert 2014-01-26 to 2014-01-26 00:00:00?
You can always cast a Date to a datetime
select timediff(cast(<yourDateColumn> as Datetime), <yourDatetimeColumn>)
But I'm not even really sure that you need to cast (depending on your mysql version), I may misunderstand the doc, but we can read
Prior to MySQL 5.1.18, when DATE values are compared with DATETIME
values, the time portion of the DATETIME value is ignored, or the
comparison could be performed as a string compare. Starting from MySQL
5.1.18, a DATE value is coerced to the DATETIME type by adding the time portion as '00:00:00'. To mimic the old behavior, use the CAST()
function to cause the comparison operands to be treated as previously.
For example:
You can use date_format()
mysql> select
TIMEDIFF(date_format('2014-01-26','%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s'), '2014-01-25 17:19:07')
as diff;
+----------+
| diff |
+----------+
| 06:40:53 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select date_format('2014-01-26','%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s') as date;
+---------------------+
| date |
+---------------------+
| 2014-01-26 00:00:00 |

I have a epoch number say 1389422614485.
The datatype for the value storing this value is varchar.
I want to convert its value to human readable time.
How can we do it?
Any example for this conversion?
Your epoch value 1389422614485 seems like having the millisecond precision. So you need to use some mysql mathematical functions along with from_unixtime() for generating human readable format.
mysql> select from_unixtime(floor(1389422614485/1000));
+------------------------------------------+
| from_unixtime(floor(1389422614485/1000)) |
+------------------------------------------+
| 2014-01-11 12:13:34 |
+------------------------------------------+
Update July 2020: As of MySQL 8.0, the floor function is no longer necessary when working with milliseconds:
mysql> select from_unixtime(1594838230234/1000);
+------------------------------------------+
| from_unixtime(1594838230234/1000) |
+------------------------------------------+
| 2020-07-15 18:37:10.2340 |
+------------------------------------------+
Take a look at from-unixtime
mysql> SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(1196440219);
-> '2007-11-30 10:30:19'
You can use from_unixtime() as follows:
SELECT from_unixtime(1388618430);
which returns 2014-01-02 00:20:30
This wil work for both +positive and -negative epoch, in-case for old birth dates, and also if you want to specify date format
select
date_format(DATE_ADD(from_unixtime(0), interval '1389422614485'/1000 second), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s') as my_new_date;
Ok, so the following works fine
mysql> SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-11-30 10:30:19');
But if I give only a date argument, like in:
mysql> SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-11-30');
Then somehow I am getting the timestamp equivalent to 2007-11-30 18:30 GMT. Can I somehow reset it to give timestamp for the beginning of that particular day? Like UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-11-30'); should give the timestamp equivalent of UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-11-30 00:00:00'); I need to filter out some records from a table based an event that happend after a certain date.
Thanks
[EDIT]: I don't know how but this seems to be working as expected now. Screenshots: 2007-11:30 00:00:00 2007-11:30 18:30:00 2007-11:30
I have checked it But i am getting same timestamp for '2007-11-30 00:00:00' and '2007-11-30'
mysql> SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-11-30 00:00:00');
+---------------------------------------+
| UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-11-30 00:00:00') |
+---------------------------------------+
| 1196361000 |
+---------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-11-30');
+------------------------------+
| UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-11-30') |
+------------------------------+
| 1196361000 |
+------------------------------+
Can you run these queries on your machine and check timestamp values.
I also checked, for me as well it is giving for 00:00:00. On further investigation, I came across this Here:
The server interprets date as a value in the current time zone and
converts it to an internal value in UTC. Clients can set their time
zone as described in Section 10.6, “MySQL Server Time Zone Support”.
On further searching, it became apparent that there is a variable system_time_zone, that is set when server starts using server machine's timezone. See here also
For each client connecting, they can set their own timezone as
mysql> SET time_zone = timezone;
So finally, you need to check your system_time_zone, set it to proper value.
I hope it will work well then....
Found a way to make sure, that the UNIX_TIMESTAMP function returns the correct timestamp irrespective of anything interfering with the timezone etc
>> SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(CONCAT(t.DATE,' 00:00:00')) FROM db.table_name t
That is, to append the 00:00:00 manually in the query string.
how to change default date format when creating table in MYSQL
You can't change the default format for a date during the table definition stage. (It must always obey the DATETIME, DATE or TIMESTAMP formats.) As the manual puts it:
Although MySQL tries to interpret
values in several formats, dates
always must be given in year-month-day
order (for example, '98-09-04'),
rather than in the month-day-year or
day-month-year orders commonly used
elsewhere (for example, '09-04-98',
'04-09-98').
See the date and time reference docs for more info.
As such, you'll have to use the DATE_FORMAT() function at the point of output to achieve this goal.
You may want to use the STR_TO_DATE() and DATE_FORMAT() functions to communicate with MySQL using different date formats.
Example using STR_TO_DATE():
SELECT STR_TO_DATE('15-Dec-09 1:00:00 PM', '%d-%b-%y %h:%i:%S %p') AS date;
+---------------------+
| date |
+---------------------+
| 2009-12-15 13:00:00 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.07 sec)
Example using DATE_FORMAT():
SELECT DATE_FORMAT('2009-12-15 13:00:00', '%d-%b-%y %h:%i:%S %p') AS date;
+-----------------------+
| date |
+-----------------------+
| 15-Dec-09 01:00:00 PM |
+-----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
