To insert the date with date formats, use the str_to_date() function with date in single quotes. The following is the syntax −
insert into yourTableName values(Value1,value2,......ValueN,str_to_date(‘anyDate’,’%Y-%m-%d’));
Here are the Date Formats in MySQL −

Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table BookDateDemo −> ( −> BookName varchar(200), −> BookIssueDate datetime −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.44 sec)
Now implement the syntax we discussed above to insert date with MySQL date format. Here we have set the date in single quote −
mysql> insert into BookDateDemo values('Let us C',str_to_date('2018-11-28','%Y-%m-%d'));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into BookDateDemo values('The C++ Programming',str_to_date('2018-11-29','%Y-%m-%d'));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into BookDateDemo values('C in Depth',str_to_date('2018-11-20','%Y-%m-%d'));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec)Display all records with the help of select statement. The query to display all records are as follows −
mysql> select *from BookDateDemo;
The following is the output −
+---------------------+---------------------+ | BookName | BookIssueDate | +---------------------+---------------------+ | Let us C | 2018-11-28 00:00:00 | | The C++ Programming | 2018-11-29 00:00:00 | | C in Depth | 2018-11-20 00:00:00 | +---------------------+---------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
