ORA8.TO_CHAR function in DB2

Hi All,

I have some procedures which written in Oracle. Now the requirement
has come to convert those procedures into db2. I used IBM provided MTK
tool to convert the procedures. The tool has given the syntax for
TO_DATE function. When i tried to execute in db2 command line prompt,
it says an error...

db2 => select ORA8.TO_DATE(OR A8.TO_CHAR(CURR ENT TIMESTAMP ,
'mm-dd-yyyy'), 'mm-d
d-yyyy') + 14 DAYS from sysibm.sysdummy 1@
SQL0440N No authorized routine named "TO_CHAR" of type "FUNCTION"
having
compatible arguments was found. SQLSTATE=42884

db2 => select ora8.to_number( '10') from sysibm.sysdummy 1@
SQL0440N No authorized routine named "TO_NUMBER" of type "FUNCTION"
having
compatible arguments was found. SQLSTATE=42884

I'm using window IBM DB2 V8.1 UDB.

Can anyone tell what the problem is?

Thanks in Advance,
Praveen

In DB2 you just do a: current date + 14 days
Gee, I am glad we don't have that ridiculous oracle date/time stuff here.

Most likely, MTK will catalog some routines as part of it's install.
Can you find the routines in another schema?

In v8, you should have those TO_* routines as part of SYSIBM schema, not
ora8.
Should be in default function path.
db2 values current function path

Indeed, in my experience the translation of DATETIME from Oracle to DATE
or TIMESTAMP, is the easiest emulation induced bloat to fix.
For those transalating DATETIME to TIMESTAMP(which seems to be MTK's
preferred - since no-loss - route) instead of DATE I can recomment
TIMESTAMP_ISO() .

But to address the original question: Do any of the ORA8 functions work
for you? Could be you simply haven't deployed the 'library'.

Remember that you can also send notes to mt*@us.ibm.com if you get stuck.

Cheers
Serge

The Oracle function TO_CHAT accept DATE datatype. In DB2, i know that exist the VARCHAR_FORMAT function (synonym TO_CHAR), but this function only accepts TIMESTAMP datatypes. How can i have the same result in DB2, like this SQL in Oracle: SELECT to_char(data_entrada,'YYYYMM') FROM t1 Obs: data_entrada is of datatype DATE. Thanks, Wellerson
