Varchar "date" to real date?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

This is propably a more of a MySQL question but here we go anyway...

I have a DB that has dates stored in a table. The date field type is Varchar 
(don't ask why... :( The dates are stored using european date format 
DD.MM.YYYY. I need somehow convert the dates to the format MySQL uses 
(YYYY-MM-DD) and re-store them to a table which has a real date column for 
them.

I think I need some help/ideas with this...

If I can get this done how can I still display the dates in european format 
at my web page? Do I have to break the date to pieces and some how 
re-arrange it to the DD.MM.YYYY format or is the some clever function for 
this that can automatically do this?

Thanks
-Will
