title: Trouble Converting varchar to date
body: <p>I'm using MAMP's phpMyAdmin as my database.
  I'm having troubles using the CONVERT sql function. Is this a common problem?</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT CONVERT(varchar(10), Date, 103)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This will give me the following syntax error. Which is one of the usual errors given but I've been trying a lot of different ways.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
    near 'varchar(10), Date, 103)' at line 1</strong></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>If the above can't be solved can I bypass this issue by adding a new column with a specific date format style?</p>
