Datatype to store date of format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss in postgresql - postgresql

I am not knowing which datatype to be assigned to the data of format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss?
I use postgresql database.

You're looking for timestamp (with or without timezone, with timezone preferred to store the actual data)
See PostgreSQL's documentation on Date/Time Types

Date formatting in postgresql from existing data

I've date in dd-mm-yyyy format, I need the date in yyyy-mm(month) format. I'm using postgresql.
Thanks in advance.
date values don't have any format. Any formatting you see is applied by your SQL client. To turn a date into a string with a specific format, you can use to_char()
to_char(the_column, 'yyyy-mm')

How do I create a specific date in PostgreSQL?

I need to execute a INSERT statement writing a date with a YYYY-MM-DD format.
Would to_date('2021-09-28','YYYY-MM-DD') work?
YYYY-MM-DD is the the ISO 8601 standard date format and unambiguous default in Postgres. Just insert your date literally.
The type date is stored as a 4-byte integer quantity internally, which does not preserve any format. You can format any way you like on output with some basic locale settings or settings of your client, or explicitly with to_char().
Input with to_date('2021-09-28','YYYY-MM-DD') works, too. But you don't need to_date() while operating with ISO format.

Date stored in different format

I have this date "2018-05-30T16:19:58.016Z" coming from my Angular app.
In Spring, the field date is as follows :
#JsonFormat(pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'")
private Date date;
The date is well stored, but with this format YYYY-MM-dd.
Is there anything that I'm missing ?
MySql date type can't hold data with timestamp. It has to be datetime in order to contain date time with timestamp data.
You probably have to specify the date format going out to the storage, as #JsonFormat(pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'") only specifies the date format for parsing the date into the Date object. Even if your Date has all of the seconds and timezone information, the default Date toString() is still
Formats a date in the date escape format yyyy-mm-dd.
according to the Java 8 docs. So if you are using that, it would most likely drop all that extra information on conversion.
You can look at this Convert java.util.Date to String for information on how to get a Date to a formatted String.

Format of date / time values in database tables

I am reading a csv file with date fields of formatted mm/dd/yyyy. I expected the same kind of format from a Postgres table after the import, but I see yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.
The date fields in my table are defined as timestamp without time zone data type.
How do I maintain the same format of data? I am using PostgreSQL 9.3.
Postgresql only stores the value, it doesn't store formatting (which would waste space).
You can use the to_char function in your query if you like to get the output formatted in a special way. Details are in the manual.

How to change SQLite time format datetime

I am trying to get the date from SQLite. I am getting timestamp in coredata, but I need to see the date. What is the command to get the timestamp converted into YYYY-MM-DD format? My query is:
SELECT ZDATE FROM ZWEATHER
Zdate is datetime.
You may be looking for the DATE() function, as seen in the SQLite manual:
SELECT date(ZDATE);
The first thing to understand is that SQLite has no date type. It has no time type either.
It only offers some time functions. The page Piskvor links to is what you need. You enter the date and/or time in your database as a string following one of a few formats available:
YYYY-MM-DD
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS
HH:MM
HH:MM:SS
HH:MM:SS.SSS
Or as a floating point value representing the Julian day number.
