Question

I get data from a database in YYYY-mm-dd format, but I want to show just dd.mm (example – I get 2010-05-28; I want to show 28.05)

Could you help me?

Thanks

You can use the date_format function to format the data as it comes out of the database. For example:

mysql> select tf, date_format(tf, '%d.%m') from times;
+---------------------+--------------------------+
| tf                  | date_format(tf, '%d.%m') |
+---------------------+--------------------------+
| 2010-11-02 00:00:00 | 02.11                    |
+---------------------+--------------------------+
