You can create DATETIME from DATE and TIME with the help of ADDTIME() function in MySQL. The syntax is as follows −
SELECT ADDTIME(CONVERT(yourDateColumnName,datetime),yourTimeColumnName) as anyVariableName from yourTableName;
To understand the above concept, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −
mysql> create table DateTime −> ( −> DueDate date, −> DueTime time −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.19 sec)
Now you can insert date and time separately. The query to insert is as follows −
mysql> insert into DateTime values(curdate(),now()); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
Display all records from the table with the help of select statement −
mysql> select *from DateTime;
The following is the output −
+------------+----------+ | DueDate | DueTime | +------------+----------+ | 2018-12-11 | 09:59:07 | +------------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Now you can implement the syntax we discussed in the beginning to create a datetime from date and time. The query is as follows −
mysql> select addtime(convert(DueDate,datetime),DueTime) as DATETimeDemo from DateTime;
The following is the output displaying datetime created from date and time −
+---------------------+ | DATETimeDemo | +---------------------+ | 2018-12-11 09:59:07 | +---------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
