Question

i have created a date table directly through phpmyadmin and i want to split the date(yyyy:mm:dd) into individual day, month and year and insert into separate field. Can anybody help me in the query used directly in phpmyadmin to perform above work?

Answer 1

Try:

UPDATE `table` SET `year` = YEAR(`date`), `month` = DATE_FORMAT(`date`, '%m'), `day` = DATE_FORMAT(`date`, '%d')

I’ve used DATE_FORMAT() rather than MONTH() and DAY() as the latter two remove leading zeros.
