How to convert a string to date in MySQL?
We can convert a string to date with the help of STR_TO_DATE() function. Let us see an example.
Creating a table.
mysql> create table StringToDateDemo -> ( -> YourDate varchar(100) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.49 sec)
Inserting records into the table.
mysql> insert into StringToDateDemo values('10/27/2018');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
The following is the syntax to convert string to date using the STR_TO_DATE() function.
SELECT STR_TO_DATE(yourColumnName, '%m/%d/%Y') from yourTableName;
Let us now implement it.
mysql>SELECT STR_TO_DATE(YourDate, '%m/%d/%Y') -> from StringToDateDemo;
Here is the output.
+-----------------------------------+ | STR_TO_DATE(YourDate, '%m/%d/%Y') | +-----------------------------------+ | 2018-10-27 | +-----------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
