How to convert MM/YY to YYYY-MM-DD in MYSQL?

To convert, use str_to_date() in MySQL

Let us create a table and add date records −

Example

mysql> create table demo72    -> (    -> due_date varchar(40)    -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (2.96 sec)

Insert some records into the table with the help of insert command −

Example

mysql> insert into demo72 values("11/15"); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.26 sec) mysql> insert into demo72 values("02/20"); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec) mysql> insert into demo72 values("07/95"); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)

Display records from the table using select statement −

Example

mysql> select *from demo72;

This will produce the following output −

Output

+----------+ | due_date | +----------+ | 11/15    | | 02/20    | | 07/95    | +----------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to convert MM/YY to YYYY-MM-DD in MySQL.

Example

mysql> select str_to_date(concat('10/', due_date), '%d/%m/%y') as original_date -> from demo72;

This will produce the following output −

Output

+---------------+ | original_date | +---------------+ | 2015-11-10    | | 2020-02-10    | | 1995-07-10    | +---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
