MySQL Query to convert from datetime to date?
You can use CAST() function from MySQL to achieve this. The syntax is as follows −
SELECT CAST(yourColumnName as Date) as anyVariableName from yourTableName;
To understand the above syntax, let us first create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −
mysql> create table ConvertDateTimeToDate -> ( -> ArrivalDatetime datetime -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.37 sec)
Insert the datetime in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into ConvertDateTimeToDate values(date_add(now(),interval -1 year));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into ConvertDateTimeToDate values('2017-11-21 13:10:20');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into ConvertDateTimeToDate values('2016-05-24 21:11:24');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.26 sec)
mysql> insert into ConvertDateTimeToDate values('2012-04-30 04:05:50');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)Let us now display all records from the table using select command. The query is as follows.
mysql> select *from ConvertDateTimeToDate;
The following is the output.
+---------------------+ | ArrivalDatetime | +---------------------+ | 2017-12-27 10:05:21 | | 2017-11-21 13:10:20 | | 2016-05-24 21:11:24 | | 2012-04-30 04:05:50 | +---------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
