What is the easiest way to store date in MySQL database?
To store date in MySQL, use the STR_TO_DATE() method −
insert into yourTableName values(STR_TO_DATE('yourDate', '%d/%m/%Y'));Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( AdmissionDate date ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.62 sec)
Insert records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(STR_TO_DATE('10/01/2013', '%d/%m/%Y'));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(STR_TO_DATE('31/01/2015', '%d/%m/%Y'));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(STR_TO_DATE('23/04/2019', '%d/%m/%Y'));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(STR_TO_DATE('01/03/2019', '%d/%m/%Y'));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.48 sec)Display records from the table using select command −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------+ | AdmissionDate | +---------------+ | 2013-01-10 | | 2015-01-31 | | 2019-04-23 | | 2019-03-01 | +---------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
