I have a problem that i don't know if mysql can solve, my customer wants the date format to be
YYWWD (year,week, day of week) Its no problem with geting a date from the database in this format typing select DATE_FORMAT('020515', '%y%v%w'); Now to the problem, is there any way I can make an insert in this format or do I have to make a seperate routine for this? Can I reverse this and get a valid date from the format YYWWD? Btw can someone explain what is the difference between %u and %v in the query above. The manual says %v Week (1..53), where Monday is the first day of the week. Used with '%x' %u Week (0..53), where Monday is the first day of the week When is there a week 0? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
