Question

I have a simple table in mysql with a record_id and a field of type date. How can I convert the following query so that it works on inserting.. it seems the date input is not recognized.

insert into test_table (record_id,date_test) values ('1','21-JUN-42')

I would appreciate any help or explanation.

PS: date_test is of type date.

Thank you

Answer 1

Do conversion before insertion

insert into test_table (record_id,date_test) values ('1', STR_TO_DATE('21-JUN-12', '%e-%M-%y'))
