In MySQL, the standard format for datetime is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS1. This represents a combination of date and time values, where YYYY stands for the four-digit year, MM signifies two-digit month, DD refers to two-digit day, HH points to hours ranging from 00 to 23, MM indicates minutes and SS, seconds2.

When you query data from a DATETIME column, MySQL displays the DATETIME value in this format3. When you insert a value into a DATETIME column, you use the same format3.

Here’s an example of how you can insert a datetime into a MySQL database:

INSERT INTO table_name (datetime_column)
VALUES ('2024-04-19 09:10:47');

 

In this example, replace table_name with the name of your table and datetime_column with the name of your datetime column.

If you want to format the date in a specific way, you can use the DATE_FORMAT() function in MySQL4. Here’s an example:

 

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(datetime_column, '%W %M %e %Y') FROM table_name;

 

In this example, %W gives the weekday name in full (Sunday to Saturday), %M gives the month name in full (January to December), %e gives the day of the month as a numeric value (0 to 31), and %Y gives the year as a numeric, 4-digit value4.

Remember to replace datetime_column and table_name with your actual column and table names.

Thanks
