Date in mmm yyyy format in postgresql

Question

I want to select that column with the mmm yyyy format – for example, “Mar 2011”. How to f

Answer 1

You need to use a date formatting function for example to_char http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-formatting.html

Answer 2

I think in Postgres you can play with formats for example if you want dd/mm/yyyy

TO_CHAR(submit_time, 'DD/MM/YYYY') as submit_date

Answer 3

You can write your select query as,

select * from table_name where to_char(date_time_column, 'YYYY-MM')  = '2011-03';

Answer 4

SELECT TO_CHAR(NOW(), 'Mon YYYY');

Answer 5

DateAndTime Reformat:

SELECT *, to_char( last_update, 'DD-MON-YYYY') as re_format from actor;
