How to get string as date in MySQL with dates as dot format specifier?
To get string as date, use STR_TO_DATE() method. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1445 -> ( -> AdmissionDate varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.46 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1445 values('01.10.2019'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1445 values('31.12.2018'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1445 values('01.02.2017'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
Display all records from the table using select −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1445;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------+ | AdmissionDate | +---------------+ | 01.10.2019 | | 31.12.2018 | | 01.02.2017 | +---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to get string as date in MySQL −
mysql> update DemoTable1445 set AdmissionDate=str_to_date(AdmissionDate,'%.%.%'); Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.15 sec) Rows matched: 3 Changed: 3 Warnings: 0
Let us check the table records once again −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1445;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------+ | AdmissionDate | +---------------+ | 2019-10-01 | | 2018-12-31 | | 2017-02-01 | +---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
