Thank you to everyone for your help. I have to admit, that is probably the
most non-intuitive function name to accomplish this task. ;-)

Hi Charles,
Please see the TO_CHAR function documented on this page [1]. You do not
need to use concatenation to achieve this result.

You are likely looking for the to_char function to convert date to a different

Hi Charles,
There isn't a single function that would convert to the format you want, since
that would be a user-specific format and not native to the internal Drill

Thanks,

Hello everyone,
I have a question about formatting dates. Let's say that I have some data
which has dates in format of -mm-dd but I would like to convert them to
mm/dd/ format (or whatever). Does Drill have something that is roughly
equivalent to MySQL's DATE_FORMAT( , ) function
whereby
