    SELECT<\/span> DATE_FORMAT('2022-01-01'<\/span>, '%Y-%m-%d'<\/span>); -- \u8f93\u51fa 2022-01-01<\/span>\r\nSELECT<\/span> DATE_FORMAT('2022-01-01'<\/span>, '%d\/%m\/%Y'<\/span>); -- \u8f93\u51fa 01\/01\/2022<\/span>\r\nSELECT<\/span> DATE_FORMAT('2022-01-01 12:34:56'<\/span>, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s'<\/span>); -- \u8f93\u51fa 2022-01-01 12:34:56<\/span>\r\nSELECT<\/span> DATE_FORMAT('2022-01-01 12:34:56'<\/span>, '%W, %M %e, %Y'<\/span>); -- \u8f93\u51fa Saturday, January 1, 2022<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
