I want to update a DateTime column where it will change the hours only without modifying anything else. I can't use to add an interval as the values all are different. There is many different dates too. So need to change the hour of exact desired date as where condition.

Ex:

*************************************************
**        Before       *|*         After       **
************************|************************
** 2017-07-24 19:06:15 *|* 2017-07-24 15:06:15 **
** 2017-07-24 17:12:23 *|* 2017-07-24 15:12:23 **
** 2017-07-24 23:00:03 *|* 2017-07-24 15:00:03 **
** 2017-07-24 20:33:56 *|* 2017-07-24 15:33:56 **
** 2017-07-24 18:19:31 *|* 2017-07-24 15:19:31 **
** 2017-07-24 16:43:47 *|* 2017-07-24 15:43:47 **

UPDATE datetimes
SET datetime = DATE_ADD(datetime,
                        INTERVAL (15 - HOUR(datetime)) HOUR);

Explanation

DATE_ADD(datetime, INTERVALintervalHOUR) adds or subtracts interval hours from datetime (depending on whether interval is positive or negative). The number of hours to add or subtract is calculated by subtracting the number of hours part of datetime (found from HOUR(datetime)) from 15. If the current time is 16:00 or after, this will be negative and if the current time is before 15:00, it will be a positive number. There is no WHERE clause so all rows in the table will be updated.

You can use the DATE_FORMAT() function and "hardcode" the hour:

UPDATE some_table SET dt = DATE_FORMAT(dt, '%Y-%m-%d 15:%i:%s');

If you want to bind the hour as parameter in a prepared statement, you can combine it with REPLACE():

UPDATE some_table SET dt = DATE_FORMAT(dt, REPLACE('%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s', '%H', ?))

You can use below query, hope it'll help you out:

UPDATE tablename SET colname = DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(colname, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s'), '%Y-%m-%d 15:%i:%s');

In this query 15 stands for the new hour you want for the record's
