MySQL formatting date to return MonthName, Year

Question

I have rows in a table that I need to sort by date. It's easy enough to use the date data type to store them, ORDER BY date blah blah.

However, I am trying to get these lines and easily convert the date to MonthName, Year

If I saved the string date as 2011-11-16 , I would like to extract it (using PHP) and print:

  November, 2011 

Answer 1

try it

 SELECT DATE_FORMAT(`date`,'%M %Y') AS showdate FROM table 

Use this site http://www.mysqlformatdate.com/ to get the desired date format (mysql).

Answer 2

 SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date_col, '%M, %Y') FROM tbl -- WHERE ?? ORDER BY date_col; 

Management knows more about this .

Answer 3

You can get the date year and monthName formate using the following query.

 SELECT DATE_FORMAT("2017-06-15", "%Y %M") as 'Date'; 

If you need other formats, use the following combinations.

Syntax: DATE_FORMAT(date, format_mask)

 Format Description %a Abbreviated weekday name (Sun to Sat) %b Abbreviated month name (Jan to Dec) %c Numeric month name (0 to 12) %D Day of the month as a numeric value, followed by suffix (1st, 2nd, 3rd, ...) %d Day of the month as a numeric value (01 to 31) %e Day of the month as a numeric value (0 to 31) %f Microseconds (000000 to 999999) %H Hour (00 to 23) %h Hour (00 to 12) %I Hour (00 to 12) %i Minutes (00 to 59) %j Day of the year (001 to 366) %k Hour (0 to 23) %l Hour (1 to 12) %M Month name in full (January to December) %m Month name as a numeric value (00 to 12) %p AM or PM %r Time in 12 hour AM or PM format (hh:mm:ss AM/PM) %S Seconds (00 to 59) %s Seconds (00 to 59) %T Time in 24 hour format (hh:mm:ss) %U Week where Sunday is the first day of the week (00 to 53) %u Week where Monday is the first day of the week (00 to 53) %V Week where Sunday is the first day of the week (01 to 53).
