Presto SQL - Converting a date string to date format
I figured it out. The below works in converting it to a 24 hr date format.
select date_parse('7/22/2016 6:05:04 PM','%m/%d/%Y %h:%i:%s %p')
See date_parse
documentation in Presto.
You can also do something like this
date(cast('2016-03-22 15:19:34.0' as timestamp))
Use: cast(date_parse(inv.date_created,'%Y-%m-%d %h24:%i:%s') as date)
Input: String timestamp
Output: date format 'yyyy-mm-dd'
