Syntax:
TO_DATE(string_expression [DEFAULT string_expression ON CONVERSION ERROR],
format_string)
The format_string has the same format elements as TO_CHAR(), except a
few elements that are not supported.
TO_DATE() returns a datetime or date value, depending on the format
elements used.
Allowed separators, same as tochar():
space, tab and any of !#%'()*+,-./:;<=>
'&' can also be used if next character is not a character a-z or A-Z
"text' indicates a text string that is verbatim in the format. One cannot
use " as a separator.

AD_DOT Anno Domini ("in the year of the Lord")

MI Minutes (0-59)
MM Month (1-12)
MON Abbreviated name of month

Not supported:
BC, D, DL, DS, E, EE, FM, FX, RM, SSSSS, TS, TZD, TZH, TZR, X,SY
BC is not supported by MariaDB datetime.
Most of the other are exotic formats, format modifies other things that
does not make in MariaDB as we return a date or a datetime, not string.
D (day-of-week) is not supported as it is not clear exactly how it would
map to MariaDB. This element depends on the NLS territory of the session.
New formats handled by TO_CHAR():
FF[1-6] Fractional seconds
DDD Daynumber 1-366
IW Week 1-53 according to ISO 8601
I 1 digit year according to ISO 8601
IY 2 digit year according to ISO 8601
IYY 3 digit year according to ISO 8601
IYYY 4 digit year according to ISO 8601

MariaDB: The innovative open source database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-features/
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-compatibility/
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/new-and-old-releases/
Getting the code, building it and testing it
Refer to the following guide: https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/get-code-build-test/ which outlines how to build the source code correctly and run the MariaDB testing framework, as well as which branch to target for your contributions.
Help
More help is available from the Maria Discuss mailing list https://lists.mariadb.org/postorius/lists/discuss.lists.mariadb.org/ and MariaDB's Zulip instance, https://mariadb.zulipchat.com/
