MYSQL DATE_FORMAT Conversion

Question

I need to convert 19/06/2021 21:06:55 to a MySQL date format. I tried

SELECT DATE_FORMAT("19/06/2021 21:06:55", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s") as reg_date FROM users

but am getting an error? What path should I follow to achieve this?

It should be like this:

2021-06-19 21:06:55

Answer 1

DATE_FORMAT formats ISO dates to other formats, but what you have is not an ISO date.
Use STR_TO_DATE() to convert the string to a date which is already in the format that you want:

SELECT STR_TO_DATE('19/06/2021 21:06:55', '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i:%s') AS reg_date FROM users

Answer 2

You need STR_TO_DATE

SELECT STR_TO_DATE("19/06/2021 21:06:55", "%d/%m/%Y %H:%i:%s") as reg_date

Which returns '2021-06-19 21:06:55'
