Re: How to match three letter month name in Hive queries

Hi Thimut, I believe that the UDF unix_timestamp uses the java class SimpleDateFormat. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html >From the doc, you can see that "m" denotes a minute while "M" denotes a month. For your problem, "-MMM-dd" should do the trick. Reg

How to match three letter month name in Hive queries

Hi, How can we match a date value like *2014-Dec-20* in unix_timestamp()? The pattern *-MM-dd* matches 2014-12-20 format. But -mmm-dd or -m-dd is not doing the trick for matching the month name. Thanks and regards, Thimuth
