I wanted to convert my date format From MMMM dd,yyyy to yyyy-MM-dd.
I tried using the following:
SET @dt_to = STR_TO_DATE(dateTo, '%d-%m-%Y');
but returns a NULL value.
How will I convert my date to yyyy-MM-dd format in MySQL?
EDITED:
I am creating a procedure in which the value of dateTo was received in the parameter. It is a date in MMMM dd, yyyy format. E.g. October 10, 2015.
NOTE:
The whole query does not return NULL when I use:
SET @dt_to = dateTo;
To convert the date format first you need to use STR_TO_DATE to convert the input string to a date value
SET @dt_to = STR_TO_DATE(dateTo, '%M %d,%Y');
and then convert that date value to your required format
SET @dt_converted = DATE_FORMAT(dt_to, '%Y-%m-%d');
or all in 1 go
SET @dt_to = DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(dateTo, '%M %d,%Y'), '%Y-%m-%d');
