European format time - Convert string to Datetime

Question

I want to be able to convert the following string format to Datetime.

'21-04-2010 11:06'

I've looked here but there doesn't seem to be solution: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx

convert(datetime, '21-04-2010 11:06', ??)

Has anyone else come across this problem? Or is it listed somewhere else?

Answer 1

You can use STR_TO_DATE date in MySQL to parse your String

Answer 2

select convert(datetime, '21-04-2010 11:06', 105)

Here the ref http://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_convert.asp Basically is dd-mm-yyyy format

Answer 3

Try this:

select convert(datetime, '21-04-2010 11:06', 105) 

Answer 4

If it is sql server, use 105...like this:

select convert(datetime, '21-04-2010 11:06', 105)

it will work (sql server docs says that it is for 21-04-2010 ...but it will get your 11:06, too)
