Date format to convert dates like Jan 2017, May 2018 to complete date in MySQL
For this, use STR_TO_DATE() along with DATE_FORMAT(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1985 ( DueDate varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1985 values('Jan 2017');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1985 values('May 2018');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1985 values('Aug 2015');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1985;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+ | DueDate | +----------+ | Jan 2017 | | May 2018 | | Aug 2015 | +----------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to convert date format −
mysql> select date_format(str_to_date(DueDate,'%b %Y'), '%Y-%m-01') as Result from DemoTable1985;
This will produce the following output −
+------------+ | Result | +------------+ | 2017-01-01 | | 2018-05-01 | | 2015-08-01 | +------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
