mysql> create table DemoTable1989 ( DueDate varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.91 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1989 values('31/01/2015');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.52 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1989 values('01/12/2018');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1989 values('25/10/2019');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1989;
This will produce the following output −
+------------+ | DueDate | +------------+ | 31/01/2015 | | 01/12/2018 | | 25/10/2019 | +------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to convert date data into MySQL date format:
mysql> select str_to_date(DueDate,'%d/%m/%Y') as MySQLDateFormat from DemoTable1989;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------------+ | MySQLDateFormat | +-----------------+ | 2015-01-31 | | 2018-12-01 | | 2019-10-25 | +-----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.05 sec)
