how to convert this line of MSSQL to MYSQL
SELECT convert(VARCHAR(10), getdate(),106) -- dd mm yyyy
I have no idea how to do it in mysql please help..
I couldn't be sure if this is what you wanted from the question, but you may be able to use this as a possible guideline.
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%d %m %Y') AS date_variable_name;
You can use DATE_FORMAT for the formatting of date in mysql
select DATE_FORMAT(now(),'%d-%m-%Y') as curr_date
You can use the DATE_FORMAT function of MYSQL
See
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_date-format
mysql> SELECT DATE_FORMAT('2009-10-04 22:23:00', '%W %M %Y');
-> 'Sunday October 2009'
or in your case
mysql> select DATE_FORMAT(now(),'%d-%m-%Y');

Can any one please let me know, i need to change the data format 2010-05-14 17:53 to 14/05/2010 17:53 using mysql select query
try this select..
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(datefield, "%d/%m/%Y %H:%i") FROM <TableName> WHERE <clause>
select date_format(date_column, "%d/%m/%Y %H:%i") from table_name
Maybe this link might help you
MySQL Manuel
This should do the trick :
Select DATE_FORMAT(now(),'%d/%m/%Y %H:%i');
For hour, u can use %H or %h, depending if you want 24h or 12h display.
%H will set 24h, %h will set 12h.
Use DATE_FORMAT to format your DATE. To solve your conversion, use the following code as a pointer
SELECT DATE_FORMAT('2010-05-14 17:53', '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i');
I have a column named date_posted in MySQL database in the form of 2014-11-22 12:45:34 . I need to get only the date, month and year. So, I do
SELECT DATE(date_posted) as date_p FROM tablename
So, I get a format as 2014-11-22. How can I get it in the form 22 Nov, 2014.
And can it still be used for sorting the results.
Thank you :D !
Refering this:
DATE_FORMAT(date_posted, '%d %b, %Y')
And no, this can't be used directly for sorting. You can ,however, parse it to date and then sort later.
order by str_to_date(text_date, '%d %b, %Y')
Try SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date_posted, '%d %b, %Y') as your_date FROM table_name

How can I get a datetime from database but without hours and minutes?
Format in database e.g 2016-03-28 15:55:00 I would like get this record if I type in SQL format y-m-d.
You would use date() in a where clause:
where date(col) = '2016-03-28'
Or, what is better for performance reasons (because the engine can use an index if available):
where date >= '2016-03-28' and
date < date_add('2016-03-28', interval 1 day)
You haven't mentioned the RDBMS you're using. I presume it must be either be MySQL or SQL Server.
MySQL:
Here's the docoumentation in the manual : DATE()
You can use it as such (illustration) :
SELECT DATE('2003-12-31 01:02:03')
Which will yield you : 2003-12-31
Hope this helps!!!
EDIT : I understand you want to apply filtering on it (i.e WHERE clause). This is one-way you can do it.
You can use this :
SELECT DATE(COLUMN_NAME)
FROM TABLE_NAME
WHERE DATE_FORMAT(COLUMN_NAME, '%Y %m %d') = DATE_FORMAT('2016-03-28', '%Y %m %d')
You can check it out on this fiddle here -> SQL Fiddle
Hope this helps!!!
You can use this SQL statement:
SELECT date(dateTime) From table
I have a query (written to be easier from a class)
$cms->my_query('SELECT * FROM location');
Which will return an array
Though I have a DATE type in the mySQL Table which it is formatted like so 2014-06-22
Is there a way I can format so it's like this Nov 04 2008 11:45 PM with using DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),"%b %d %Y %h:%i %p") now I believe DATE cannot use this properly so i'd have to use DATETIME but if that is the case it's fine but how do I select all and change date at the same time?
Example
$cms->my_query('SELECT * FROM location DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),"%b %d %Y %h:%i %p")');
I just don't want that ugly 2014-06-22 and I have very little knowledge of mySQL and I am learning as I try new things out. So if someone who is more skilled please explain the best scenario for me, I'd like to learn and I am willing!
The first argument of DATE_FORMAT() is the date you want to format. Putting NOW() in there means you will return the current date.
First, you'll need to change the date column to DATETIME, then use that column as the first argument to DATE_FORMAT. Try this:
SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(mydate ,"%b %d %Y %h:%i %p") as date_added FROM location
Where mydate is the DATETIME column from the table.
See demo
The column need to be in type DATETIME. With date_time_column is a column in location table. Should be like this:
$cms->my_query('SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date_time_column,"%m-%d-%Y %r") FROM location');
Is it possible to change the configuration of the date(); that's already been inserted into the database?
For example:
right now the date is displayed in the following way: December 12th 2013 12:28pm
Is there a way to display only the parts i choose from it? like "12 DEC".
Trying to get this done in PHP.
Thanks!
Use the date() function. If you're trying to format the value from a database entry, fetch it and display it using strtoupper(date('j M',strtotime($row['column']))) (which will output the format you're looking for and capitalize everything like the example you provided)
Don't store date/time values (especially verbosely formatted) as strings in the database, because you loose the ability to normally maintain and query your data. Use appropriate date data types for that (DATETIME, TIMESTAMP or even INT if you store Unix epoch time in seconds).
You can change the datatype from VARCHAR to DATETIME in a following way
UPDATE table_name
SET column_name = STR_TO_DATE(column_name, '%M %D, %Y, %h:%i %p');
ALTER TABLE table_name CHANGE column_name column_name DATETIME;
Here is SQLFiddle demo
Now you can properly and easily filter and order your data by date column, e.g.:
SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name >= '2013-12-17'
AND column_name < '2013-12-18'
ORDER BY column_name DESC;
Now you can easily present your datetime values as you need with DATE_FORMAT() function e.g.:
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(column_name, '%d %b') formatted_date
FROM table_name;
Sample output:
| FORMATTED_DATE |
|----------------|
| 17 Dec |
| 18 Dec |
Here is SQLFiddle demo
In the meantime if you need an immediate solution you can do
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(column_name, '%M %D, %Y, %h:%i %p'), '%d %b') formatted_date
FROM table_name;
Here is SQLFiddle demo
To get date with your format, you will try:
<?php
echo date('d M');
?>
But, you need update each row in your table to change their value.
