在MySQL中选择varchar作为日期

Question

I have a date column in the format

25 Mar 2017 07:19 pm

I want to select date in the format dd/mm/yyyy

I have tried: cast(date as DATE), STR_TO_DATE(date, '%d/%m/%Y') but everything returns null

any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Use

select str_to_date('25 Mar 2017 07:19 pm', '%d %M %Y')

The format specified has to match the input pattern. As the month name is included, use %M .

Answer 2

You can parse the date using following format:

SELECT STR_TO_DATE('25 Mar 2017 07:19 pm', '%d %M %Y %h:%i %p');
