Answer 1

Try This:-

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE('27 April 2015 12:12:36', '%d %M %Y %h:%i:%S'), "%d-%b-%Y");

First you need to convert your string to date. then you can format the same.

if your date like Monday 27 April 2015 12:12:36 PM IST
use:

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE('Monday 27 April 2015 12:12:36 PM', '%W %d %M %Y %h:%i:%S %p'), "%d-%b-%Y");

Hope this help !

Answer 2

MySQL DATE_FORMAT Function is there to rescue.

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(yourDateColumn,'%W %d %M %Y %T') `Date`
FROM yourTable;

See a DEMO on SQL Fiddle .

Answer 3

Try this variant

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), "%d-%M-%Y");  

This will output

02-March-2018

Or if you want shorter month name, use %b instead %M

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), "%d-%b-%Y");
