PFMaBiSmAd Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Backup your database. Add a new column to the table with a DATETIME data type. Use the mysql STR_TO_DATE() function in a single UPDATE query (a query without a WHERE clause will operate on all rows in the table) to populate the new column with the equivalent of the existing values. Modify and test your existing scripts to use the new column. Remove the old column.
