Hello,
I am developing an aplication where I need format the date for inserting
into mySQL.
With DATE_FORMAT I can format the mySQL date to "my date", but I haven't
found a good way to format "my date" to the mySQL date.
My format is 'dd-mm-yyyy' and to convert it to 'yyyy-mm-dd' I'm using
the next sequence:
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(
CONCAT(
SUBSTRING_INDEX('03-05-2002', '-', -1),
'-',
SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX('03-05-2002', '-', 2),
'-', -1),
'-',
SUBSTRING_INDEX('03-05-2002', '-', 1)),
'%Y-%m-%d' );
I have searched in the manual, the list and in the DuBois' book, but I
haven't found a single function to parse my date to the mySQL date. Is
that rigth? Is there no function to parse from any date to the mySQL
date?
Regards
Javier
