Change the curdate() (current date) format in MySQL
The current date format is ‘YYYY-mm-dd’. To change current date format, you can use date_format().
Let us first display the current date −
mysql> select curdate();
This will produce the following output −
+------------+
| curdate() |
+------------+
| 2019-08-08 |
+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to change curdate() (current date) format −
mysql> select date_format(curdate(), '%m/%d/%Y');
This will produce the following output −
+------------------------------------+
| date_format(curdate(), '%m/%d/%Y') |
+------------------------------------+
| 08/08/2019 |
+------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable (
ArrivalDate date
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.50 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-01-10');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2016-12-18');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+
| ArrivalDate |
+-------------+
| 2019-01-10 |
| 2016-12-18 |
+-------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to change date format −
mysql> select date_format(ArrivalDate, '%m/%d/%Y') from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+--------------------------------------+
| date_format(ArrivalDate, '%m/%d/%Y') |
+--------------------------------------+
| 01/10/2019 |
| 12/18/2016 |
+--------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
