I am reading a date column in a postgresql DB. I would like to convert it from below reading into YYYY-MM-DD (this is how it is entered into the DB originally). What is the best approach to do this?

Code:

dataReading = cursor.fetchall()
print(dataReading[1])

Output:

(datetime.date(2016, 1, 5),)

what library are you using, `psycopg2`? – gold_cy Dec 27 '19 at 20:34
Correct! psycopg2 – aurelius Dec 27 '19 at 20:35

Thats the internal representation, `print(dataReading[1][0])` should print a well-formatted date – Maurice Meyer Dec 27 '19 at 20:36
This solved my question! Thank you. print(dataReading[1][0]) – aurelius Dec 27 '19 at 20:38
would you rather solve this in the database or on the Python side? – gold_cy Dec 27 '19 at 20:38
