同时使用 MONTHNAME 和 DATE_FORMAT

Question

I'm retrieving and storing a Date field from a database. On the graph I want to print only the "day of month" with month_name
DATE_FORMAT and MONTHNAME does the job, but not together. Any alternatives for the problem?

INPUT: 2015-02-20 00:00:10

OUTPUT: 20th Feb

Answer 1

Since you're mentioning Oracle:

SELECT TO_CHAR(to_timestamp('2015-02-20 00:00:10','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'),'ddth Mon')
FROM dual

Answer 2

Since I no longer see the Oracle reference mentioned by Marius, here's a MySQL option:

select date_format('2015-02-20 00:00:10','%D %b');

Returns:

20th Feb

Here are some other formatting options for the date_format function.
