Hi, Can some help me with a date conversion problme
that I am having.

I have a date data in the following format:
'Month Days Year Hour:Minute AM/PM'
Example: 'Aug 21, 2004 2:00 PM'

So far the hours that I have spent have been in vain.

I tried using str_to_date, but it keeps failing. Looks like it's not in version 4.0.2?

Minh:

Your options are:

 * upgrade to 4.1
 * parse and convert the date in your applications
 * use an ugly combination of SUBSTRING() and CASE to parse out the date
 * write a UDF implementing STR_TO_DATE()
 * backport STR_TO_DATE() to 4.0
