mysql - Converting varchar to date displays 0000-00-00 -
i trying convert column date format. in varchar , displays as: 12/06/2013
i run following query;
update dispatch set dispatchdate = date_format(str_to_date(dispatchdate, '%d/%m/%y'), '%d-%m-%y'); alter table dispatch change dispatchdate dispatchdate date;
however after running query, displays data as: 0000-00-00
i trying change display dd-mm-yyyy not yyyy-mm-dd
0000-00-00
mysql's special way of displaying "zero" or "dummy" date.
like many of mysql's oddities, learn live , suggest you:
update dispatch set dispatchdate = null dispatchdate = '0000-00-00'
or set whatever value works best you.
