Greetings and salutations.
I have this data entry problem, that I have placed a fix for the users, but
I have entries in the DB that have the wrong date format. There are dates
entered in this format, 2010-1-1 instead of 2010-01-01. Say that I had this
table,
table1.
id,st,ca,d1,d2
1,AA,BB,2010-1-1,2010-2-9
1,BB,BB,2010-1-1,2010-3-29
1,CC,BB,2010-10-4,2010-5-13
1,DD,BB,2010-1-10,2010-02-01
What I would like to do is a call that can fix the dates to the correct
format, ie. YYYY-MM-DD, so that the final data looks like this,
table1.
id,st,ca,d1,d2
1,AA,BB,2010-01-01,2010-02-09
1,BB,BB,2010-01-01,2010-03-29
1,CC,BB,2010-10-04,2010-05-13
1,DD,BB,2010-01-10,2010-02-01
I know I can do a bunch of sets, such as this one,
UPDATE table1 set d1 = '2010-01-01'
where
d1 = '2010-1-1';
but that is a lot of coding. I thought that perhaps there would be an
easier regular expression call within the DB engine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
josé
