In my page (PHP), I have date format like this: "30-Jan-2013". I want to convert this format to "2013-01-28".
Is it possible in MySQL date format?
use STR_TO_DATE to convert string to date
SELECT DATE(STR_TO_DATE(colName, '%d-%b-%Y')) -- date datatype
or
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(colName, '%d-%b-%Y'),'%Y-m-%d') -- string type

I am currently exploring a CSV dataset with 6 different tables on MYSql
enter image description here
I am unable to Format the date column in mm-dd-yyyy format. I tried using convert() & CAST() function but still does not workout
Can anyone guide me?
SELECT
date,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(255), date, 103) AS "new_date",
FROM production_sales_forecast;
SELECT CAST(date as DATE)
FROM
production_sales_forecast;
I just want the entire column to be formatted in dd-mm-yyyy
In MySQL you can use STR_TO_DATE to convert a string to date and DATE_FORMAT to format the date value according to the format string.
SELECT STR_TO_DATE("3/1/2020", "%e/%m/%Y");
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE("3/1/2020", "%e/%m/%Y"),"%m-%d-%Y") as my_new_date ;

In one of my DB column i have a string like this
19-Oct-19
i want to change this string to a proper date format like this
19-10-2019 or 19-10-2019
how can i achieve this with sql
With STR_TO_DATE() you can convert String to Date and with DATE_FORMAT() format your Date value.
select DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE('19-Oct-19', '%Y-%M-%d'), '%d-%m-%Y');
How to insert this date format on my table: 30/12/2018?
If it's impossible, then how can i turn this date format: 2018-12-30 12:10:00 to 30/12/2018 on a echo?
Store the date/time in the native format (i.e. as a datetime or date). Then, use date_format() to convert it to the format you want on output:
select date_format(datecol, '%d/%m/%Y')
You should proceed as follows :
ensure that the field where you store the date is of type datetime or date
use function STR_TO_DATE to convert strings to dates before writing to database
use function DATE_FORMAT to format the datetime values to the relevant format when reading form database.
Here is a small example of CREATE/INSERT/SELECT :
CREATE TABLE mytable (
mydate datetime
);
INSERT INTO mytable
VALUES (STR_TO_DATE('30/12/2018', '%d/%m/%Y'));
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(mydate, '%d/%m/%Y')
FROM mytable;
Is there any way to convert a normal european date to a timestamp-value in mySQL?
I have a mysql database with a column date (varchar(64)) containing dates in european format like 01.12.15. For this I need a update-sql-query that converts all lines into timestamps.
Thanks for your help!
Use STR_TO_DATE to convert your date string 26.11.17 to a bona fide date. Then call UNIX_TIMESTAMP on that date to get the UNIX timestamp.
SELECT
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(STR_TO_DATE('26.11.17', '%d.%m.%y')) AS output
FROM dual;
1511650800

I am working with a mysql database that somebody else created. I have a table with two different date fields one is called eventDate and is in the format YYYY-MM-DD and the other is called creationDate and is in the format M/D/YYYY H:MM:SS AM/PM
What I want to do is query the table and return results where the eventDate is the same as the creationDate but how do I convert the creationDate into YYYY-MM-DD format?
Try STR_TO_DATE() and a format matching the one used by your creationDate strings:
SELECT
…
WHERE DATE(STR_TO_DATE(creationDate, '%c/%e/%Y %r')) = STR_TO_DATE(eventDate, '%Y-%m-%d')
Perhaps MySQL would be able to convert YYYY-MM-DD strings to dates implicitly, so the second STR_TO_DATE() call might be unnecessary.
