mysql - convert one specific query from text field to date for arithmetic functions -
i have thoroughly searched have been thoroughly confused @ how convert returned sql query fields. i've found how convert whole column text field date not specific query. i'm not sure how update, set, etc. imported csv file of names , ates, , query (in phpmyadmin) returns desired text field this:
select meta_value `drabble_postmeta` meta_key = 'date_paid'
this returns 130 fields need convert pure text field uniformly using mm/dd/yyyy (ie 11/2/2010) format using "date" field can sort date_paid.
one meta_value
has text field "11/2/2010". meta_value
longtext. don't know if want use operator because i'll need read other meta_value
fields id of columns == id of found date_paid
.
use str_to_date function.
select str_to_date(meta_value,'%m/%d/%y') date_paid `drabble_postmeta` meta_key = 'date_paid'
