Date format from asp form to oracle database?

my database, sqlplus oracle, has a column ccexpiry, whch is set to date. In my form in asp, there will always be an error whenever i pass in a date that is not in the DD MMM YYYY which is the standard for oracle. My qn is how can i pass in a date that is in DD/MM/YYYY format?

This should be a common question, but i cant seem to find a working code. Can someone give me the codes please?

You shouldn't try and pass a date in that format. How is the software
supposed to know if 06/08/2004 is June 8th or August 6th?

My recommendation: use an ISO standard format, rather than an ambiguous one.
e.g. YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD.

Take note of the other posts about universal date formats, then look up
TO_DATE() in the Oracle SQL documentation. TO_DATE is used to convert
strings in various formats to Oracle dates.

I'm returning a date (5th Jan 2004) from Oracle using the following query: select TO_CHAR(invoice_date,'DD/MM/YYYY') from... This should return my date in the UK format, and it certainly appears to be doing just that in Toad. And it also looks correct in my form as it shows as: 05/01/2004

I posted this yesterday, but I am not seeing this out yet: I am having problems with updating a date field in a certain format. The data is stored in an Oracle database. The date is automatically displayed in format, "mm/dd/yyyy" on the ASP page, but it is accepted only in another format, "dd/mon/yy". I want to make it consistent. How can I force it to accept the date in format "mm/dd/yyyy"? The second option would be to force it to...

I'd like to use standard C++ to process dates, converting to and from std::string and std::tm representations. The dates are going to/from a database, as ISO-8601 or SQL date-formatted strings. They will also be presented to the user in the correct format for their locale. I can't see a way to use ISO-8601 dates without resorting to non-standard GNU extensions (I'm using GNU libstdc++ and libc). Is this possible? I don't want to tie...

I currently have an ODBC query that hits an Oracle database. I want to bring back records for a given month based on a job completion date in the Oracle database.

I was wondering how I could use a calendar function or something similar to populate the month and year in...

Hi All; We have many production jobs that "load from cursor" to a UDB/AIX 8.2 (with dpf) data warehouse from source tables residing Oracle 9i. Since Oracle dates are (roughly) equivalent to DB2 timestamps, we frequently use the date() function to "convert" from the Oracle date datatype to the DB2 date datatype. We have used this technique on over 20 Oracle tables for several months with no problem. One table in particular fails with a...

I am trying to display dates in a spreadsheet, but the dates need to be in a format that will allow them to be sorted in Excel. The datatype in the SQL Server database is datetime. In this case, I need to display the date only, not the time. But I don't want to change the datatype in the database because the time is used in other places. So what I am doing is pulling it out of the database, then modifying it in ASP/VBScript by using the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
