MySQL query to convert a string into a month (Number)?
Use the str_to_date() method −
select month(str_to_date(yourColumnName,'%b')) from yourTableName;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, MonthName varchar(100) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.76 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable(MonthName) values('Jan'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.25 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(MonthName) values('Mar'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) Display all records from the table using select statement: mysql> select *from DemoTable;
Output
+----+-----------+ | Id | MonthName | +----+-----------+ | 1 | Jan | | 2 | Mar | +----+-----------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to convert a string into a month (Number) −
mysql> select month(str_to_date(MonthName,'%b')) from DemoTable;
