The DATE_FORMAT function in SQL is used to format a datetime value into a specified string. Users can customize the display format of the datetime based on their needs.<\/p>\n

The syntax of the DATE_FORMAT function is:<\/p>\n

Format the date in a specific way using the DATE_FORMAT function.<\/p>\n

In this case, date is a date-time value that can be a date, date-time, or timestamp, while format is a string used to define the display format of the date-time.<\/p>\n

The DATE_FORMAT function can be used in various database management systems such as MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and others.<\/p>\n

Common formatting options include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Year in four digits<\/li>\n
  2. %y: two-digit year<\/li>\n
  3. %m: a two-digit month<\/li>\n
  4. %d: double-digit date<\/li>\n
  5. %H: The number of hours in a 24-hour clock system.<\/li>\n
  6. The hour in 12-hour clock format is displayed as %h.<\/li>\n
  7. %i: number of minutes<\/li>\n
  8. %s: seconds<\/li>\n
  9. %p: Morning (AM) or afternoon (PM)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For example, the DATE_FORMAT function can be used to format dates into the form “YYYY-MM-DD” or format times into the form “HH:MI:SS”.<\/p>\n

    Original sentence: “\u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77\uff0c\u6211\u521a\u624d\u6ca1\u6709\u542c\u6e05\u695a\uff0c\u53ef\u4ee5\u518d\u8bf4\u4e00\u904d\u5417\uff1f”<\/p>\n

    Paraphrased sentence: “Sorry, I didn’t catch that earlier, can you please repeat it?”<\/p>\n

    Retrieve the current date in the format of year-month-day and label it as formatted_date.<\/p>\n

    This will return a formatted string of the current date, such as “2022-01-01”.<\/p>\n

    In summary, the DATE_FORMAT function in SQL is used to convert date and time values into a specified format string, meeting the users’ needs for displaying date and time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
