How to extract date from string in MySQL?
To extract date from the string in MySQL, use SUBSTRING_INDEX(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> Title text -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.58 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John has got joining date.12/31/2018');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Carol has got joining date.01/11/2019');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Sam will arrive at.12/03/2050');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.87 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------------------------------+ | Title | +---------------------------------------+ | John has got joining date.12/31/2018 | | Carol has got joining date.01/11/2019 | | Sam will arrive at.12/03/2050 | +---------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to extract date from the string in MySQL −
mysql> select substring_index(substring_index(Title,".", -1), ".", 1) from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------------------------------------------------+ | substring_index(substring_index(Title,".", -1), ".", 1) | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | 12/31/2018 | | 01/11/2019 | | 12/03/2050 | +----------------------------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
