In Oracle database, the method to format dates is by using the TO_CHAR function.

For example, to format the date field as YYYY-MM-DD, you can use the following syntax:

Format the date_column as ‘YYYY-MM-DD’.

Real-life example:

Choose the date in the format yyyy-mm-dd from the current date in the database.

The result will return in the format of YYYY-MM-DD for the current date.
