Hello all,
I am trying to use the TO_DATE function to convert a string to a date so that I can perform periodic maintenance on a table based upon the date.
Here is the SQL statement. -
-
SELECT * FROM APPROVED
-
WHERE TO_DATE(CREATION_TIME, 'DY MON DD HH24:MI:SS TZD YYYY') > SYSDATE-30
-
-
Here is the actual string value 'Mon Dec 10 15:20:25 EDT 2007'
When I execute the query I get the following message "ORA-01821: date format not recognized".
I thought since I was specifying the format Oracle would be able to make sense of my date string. Does anyone see any flaws or able to offer some pointers?
Any help is appreciated.

What is the data type of CREATION_TIME field.
try to use -
-
SELECT * FROM APPROVED
-
WHERE TO_DATE(CREATION_TIME, 'DD-MON-YY HH12:MI:SS') > SYSDATE-30
-
-

The datatype of the CREATION_TIME is VARCHAR2. I tried the code you provided but it did not work.
The error message I get is ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected.
Hope this helps. Thanks

Could you please provide few more values of creation_date column?
And also please clarify what does that EDT refers to?
I tried this and it works: -
SQL> alter session set nls_Date_format='Dy Mon DD HH24:MI:SS RRRR'
-
2 /
-
-
Session altered.
-
-
SQL> select TO_DATE('Mon Dec 10 15:20:25 2007') from dual
-
2 /
-
-
TO_DATE('MONDEC1015:20:2'
-
------------------------
-
Mon Dec 10 15:20:25 2007
-
-
-- Now again if I alter my date format, it will error out as shown below:
-
-
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='DD-MON-RRRR'
-
2 /
-
-
Session altered.
-
-
SQL> select TO_DATE('Mon Dec 10 15:20:25 2007') from dual
-
2 /
-
select TO_DATE('Mon Dec 10 15:20:25 2007') from dual
-
*
-
ERROR at line 1:
-
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
-
-
You need not alter the session also. Try this: -
SQL> ed
-
Wrote file afiedt.buf
-
-
1* select TO_DATE('Mon Dec 10 15:20:25 2007','Dy Mon DD HH24:MI:SS RRRR') from dual
-
SQL> /
-
-
TO_DATE('MO'
-
-----------
-
10-DEC-2007

Assuming data is being stored in a DB2 TIMESTAMP
what is the equivalent of Oracle's to_date function :
to_date('03/04/2005','MM/DD/YYYY')
It's OK if MM/DD/YYYY is the only supported format.
Thanks.

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...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
