TO_DATE
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Parse a string value to a SQL DATE type (represented by java.sql.Date) using a vendor specific formatting pattern.
The pattern is not translated by jOOQ for vendor agnosticity and may need to be adapted depending on the SQL dialect you're using.
SELECT TO_DATE('20200203', 'YYYYMMDD');
create.select(toDate("20200203", "YYYYMMDD")).fetch();
The result being
+------------+ | to_date | +------------+ | 2020-02-03 | +------------+
