Date is a date and has nothing to its format. Format of date is the date string representation only and nothing else.

Data truncation: Incorrect date value: '05/18/2017' for column 'start_date' at row 1... error arises like this

Forget formats, just get the data value from the date picker and pass that into the database. The only time you need string formats is when you want to display the date to a human.

Solution 1

Put the date in single quotes and move the parenthesis (after the 'yes') to the end:

SQL

INSERT INTO custorder 
  VALUES ('Kevin', 'yes' , STR_TO_DATE('1-01-2012', '%d-%m-%Y') ) ;
                        ^                                     ^
---parenthesis removed--|                and added here ------|
