MySQL date format DD/MM/YYYY select query?
Format the date DD/MM/YYYY using select and order by in descending order. The syntax is as follows −
SELECT *FROM yourTableName where yourDatetimeColumnName order by STR_TO_DATE(yourDatetimeColumnName,’%d/%m%Y’) desc;
The above syntax will give the date in descending order. To understand the above syntax, let us first create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −
mysql> create table DateFormatWithSelect -> ( -> UserId int, -> UserName varchar(100), -> UserLoginDatetime varchar(100) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.58 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into DateFormatWithSelect values(101,'John','20/10/2016'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DateFormatWithSelect values(102,'David','21/09/2015'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into DateFormatWithSelect values(103,'Carol','21/12/2018'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DateFormatWithSelect values(104,'Mike','2/8/2014'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into DateFormatWithSelect values(105,'Sam','21/11/2017'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DateFormatWithSelect values(106,'Bob','21/12/2013'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
Display all records from the table using select command. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from DateFormatWithSelect;
The following is the outpu −
+--------+----------+-------------------+ | UserId | UserName | UserLoginDatetime | +--------+----------+-------------------+ | 101 | John | 20/10/2016 | | 102 | David | 21/09/2015 | | 103 | Carol | 21/12/2018 | | 104 | Mike | 2/8/2014 | | 105 | Sam | 21/11/2017 | | 106 | Bob | 21/12/2013 | +--------+----------+-------------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the SELECT that formats the date in DD/MM/YYYY format −
mysql> select *from DateFormatWithSelect -> where UserLoginDatetime order by str_to_date(UserLoginDatetime,'%d/%m/%Y') desc;
Output
+--------+----------+-------------------+ | UserId | UserName | UserLoginDatetime | +--------+----------+-------------------+ | 103 | Carol | 21/12/2018 | | 105 | Sam | 21/11/2017 | | 101 | John | 20/10/2016 | | 102 | David | 21/09/2015 | | 104 | Mike | 2/8/2014 | | 106 | Bob | 21/12/2013 | +--------+----------+-------------------+ 6 rows in set, 6 warnings (0.00 sec)
