The easiest way to insert date records in MySQL?
Use the STR_TO_DATE() method to insert date records as in the below syntax −
select str_to_date(yourColumnName,'%b %Y') from yourTableName;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> JoiningYear varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.69 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Jan 2018');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('May 2107');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.32 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Aug 2019');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Oct 2020');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+ | JoiningYear | +-------------+ | Jan 2018 | | May 2107 | | Aug 2019 | | Oct 2020 | +-------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to insert date records in MySQL −
mysql> select str_to_date(JoiningYear,'%b %Y') from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------------------------+ | str_to_date(JoiningYear,'%b %Y') | +----------------------------------+ | 2018-01-00 | | 2107-05-00 | | 2019-08-00 | | 2020-10-00 | +----------------------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.05 sec)
