Question

Can any one please let me know, i need to change the data format 2010-05-14 17:53 to 14/05/2010 17:53 using mysql select query

Answer 1

Maybe this link might help you MySQL Manuel

This should do the trick :

Select DATE_FORMAT(now(),'%d/%m/%Y %H:%i');

For hour, u can use %H or %h, depending if you want 24h or 12h display. %H will set 24h, %h will set 12h.
