How to change date format with DATE_FORMAT() in MySQL?
You can change the MySQL date format with a specific format using DATE_FORMAT(). Following is the syntax −
select date_format(yourColumnName,yourFormatSpecifier) from yourTableName;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( ShippingDate date ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.48 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2016-01-21');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2018-05-24');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-12-31');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+--------------+ | ShippingDate | +--------------+ | 2016-01-21 | | 2018-05-24 | | 2019-12-31 | +--------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
