Output only the name of the month instead of the month number in MySQL
To display only the month number, use DATE_FORMAT() along with STR_TO_DATE(). Let us first create a table:
mysql> create table DemoTable1320 -> ( -> MonthName varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.43 sec)
Example
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1320 values('10/10/2010'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1320 values('11/12/2018'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1320 values('12/01/2019'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable1320;
Output
+------------+ | MonthName | +------------+ | 10/10/2010 | | 11/12/2018 | | 12/01/2019 | +------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Example
Here is the query to outputting the name of the month instead of the number −
mysql> select date_format(str_to_date(MonthName,'%d/%m/%Y'),'%M') from DemoTable1320;
Output
+-----------------------------------------------------+ | date_format(str_to_date(MonthName,'%d/%m/%Y'),'%M') | +-----------------------------------------------------+ | October | | December | | January | +-----------------------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
