How to parse date in MySQL?
Parse date in MySQL with the help of STR_TO_DATE() function. The syntax is as follows −
select str_to_date(yourColumName,’format’) as anyVariableName from yourTableName;
The format in the above syntax is '%d-%b-%y'.

mysql> insert into ParseDateDemo values('10-Dec-18');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into ParseDateDemo values('10-Aug-17');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)Display records from the table with the help of select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from ParseDateDemo;
