What date format is this ? (SELECT * FROM Win32_PrintJob) - mysql

Question

I am making a small program and it uses WMI. There is a value which is, supposedly, a date and time. The value appears to be:
"20140221163958.621000+330".
Can anyone tell me which format is this and how to convert this to normal readable DateAndTime.

Answer 1

This is the official TechNet article regarding the timestamp format for WMI queries:

Witch as it so happens gives a nice example in VB:
dtmInstallDate = "20140221163958.621000+330"
WMIDateStringToDate = CDate(Mid(dtmInstallDate, 5, 2) & "/" & _
Mid(dtmInstallDate, 7, 2) & "/" & Left(dtmInstallDate, 4) _
& " " & Mid (dtmInstallDate, 9, 2) & ":" & _
Mid(dtmInstallDate, 11, 2) & ":" & Mid(dtmInstallDate, _
13, 2))
' would produce "2/21/14 4:39:58 PM"

Answer 2

A quick search showed that it is the Standard Windows Format (UTC) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394370(v=vs.85).aspx for more reference). To Convert it, I used a simple function.
Private Function ConvertToDateTime(ByVal in As String) As String
Return CDate(Mid(inDate, 5, 2) & "/" & _
Mid(inDate, 7, 2) & "/" & Left(inDate, 4) _
& " " & Mid(inDate, 9, 2) & ":" & _
Mid(inDate, 11, 2) & ":" & Mid(inDate, _
13, 2))
End Function

Answer 3

you can try this way
SELECT
SUBSTRING(date, 1, 4) as year,SUBSTRING(date, 5, 2) as month,
SUBSTRING(date, 7, 2) as day,SUBSTRING(date, 9, 2) as hours,
SUBSTRING(date, 11, 2) as minutes,SUBSTRING(date, 13, 2) as seconds
FROM
table1
DEMO HERE
if you want update your table and change this column use this
Update table1 set date =
concat(SUBSTRING(date, 1, 4),' ',SUBSTRING(date, 5, 2),' ',
SUBSTRING(date, 7, 2),' ',SUBSTRING(date, 9, 2),':',
SUBSTRING(date, 11, 2),':',SUBSTRING(date, 13, 2))
