To convert, use str_to_date() in MySQL
Let us create a table and add date records −
Example
mysql> create table demo72 -> ( -> due_date varchar(40) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (2.96 sec)
Insert some records into the table with the help of insert command −
Example
mysql> insert into demo72 values("11/15"); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.26 sec) mysql> insert into demo72 values("02/20"); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec) mysql> insert into demo72 values("07/95"); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
Display records from the table using select statement −
Example
mysql> select *from demo72;
This will produce the following output −
Output
+----------+ | due_date | +----------+ | 11/15 | | 02/20 | | 07/95 | +----------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to convert MM/YY to YYYY-MM-DD in MySQL.
Example
mysql> select str_to_date(concat('10/', due_date), '%d/%m/%y') as original_date -> from demo72;
This will produce the following output −
Output
+---------------+ | original_date | +---------------+ | 2015-11-10 | | 2020-02-10 | | 1995-07-10 | +---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
