Select date from MySQL and format to text?
To select date and format, use SELECT DATE_FORMAT(). Following is the syntax −
Syntax
select date_format(yourColumnName, '%e %b %y') from yourTableName;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> DueDate date -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.52 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-01-11');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-12-21');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-09-15');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------------+ | DueDate | +------------+ | 2019-01-11 | | 2019-12-21 | | 2019-09-15 | +------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
