Question

I am aware of the MySQL Date_Format function but am looking to achieve the following:

I have on column with a day date in 2 digit format (01-30). I am trying to update another date formatted field with the current year, the next month (m+1) and the day field mentioned previously.

In PHP i would do this using mktime function but this must be done using mysql calls only.

Is it possible to transform in this way?

Answer 1

update table set field1 = concat(date_format(curdate(),"%Y-%m"),'-',field2) + interval 1 month
