Convert string (varchar) to timestamp format in MySQL?
To convert string to timestamp format, use STR_TO_DATE() along with DATE_FORMAT(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1602 -> ( -> ReportingDate varchar(40) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.51 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1602 values('Wed Oct 02 16:10:45 IST 2019');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1602 values('Fri May 31 13:00:10 IST 2019');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1602 values('Mon Dec 31 14:20:00 IST 2018');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1602;
This will produce the following output −
+------------------------------+ | ReportingDate | +------------------------------+ | Wed Oct 02 16:10:45 IST 2019 | | Fri May 31 13:00:10 IST 2019 | | Mon Dec 31 14:20:00 IST 2018 | +------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to convert string to timestamp format in MySQL −
mysql> select date_format(str_to_date(ReportingDate,'%a %b %d %T IST %Y'),'%d-%m-%Y %H:%i:%s') from DemoTable1602;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | date_format(str_to_date(ReportingDate,'%a %b %d %T IST %Y'),'%d-%m-%Y %H:%i:%s') | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 02-10-2019 16:10:45 | | 31-05-2019 13:00:10 | | 31-12-2018 14:20:00 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.03 sec)
