Syntax error Format date to display month names with the entire date in MySQL?

Format date to display month names with the entire date in MySQL?



For this, you can use DATE_FORMAT(). Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable605 (DueDate date);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.57 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable605 values('2019-01-21');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable605 values('2019-02-23');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable605 values(curdate());
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable605;

This will produce the following output −

+------------+
| DueDate    |
+------------+
| 2019-01-21 |
| 2019-02-23 |
| 2019-03-04 |
| 2019-04-24 |
| 2019-07-13 |
+------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to format date and display month names with the entire date in MySQL −

mysql> select DATE_FORMAT(DueDate, '%d.%M.%Y') from DemoTable605;

This will produce the following output −

+----------------------------------+
| DATE_FORMAT(DueDate, '%d.%M.%Y') |
+----------------------------------+
| 21.January.2019                  |
| 23.February.2019                 |
| 04.March.2019                    |
| 24.April.2019                    |
| 13.July.2019                     |
+----------------------------------+
