I have a UI which is java and database in oracle 10g and database resides in India. Now the user use this application across the world. Date related value stores in IST format.
Now the requirement is whenever any user open the application in USA ,then date value should convert into their local time zone. So is there any way in oracle to convert and show the date value according to their local time zone.
How can I convert a DATE to EPOCH time taking care of daylight savings?
I tried with this code but there is a difference of 36000 seconds. eg:Sysdate_To_Epoch('04-Sep-2012') gives 1346716800 whereas it should give 1346680800.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Sysdate_To_Epoch(v_date IN DATE) RETURN NUMBER IS

I am trying to write a function that accepts LOCAL DATE, LOCAL TIME, LOCAL TIME ZONE, COUNTRY CODE as inputs, and UTC DATE, UTC TIME as outputs. LOCAL DATE, LOCAL TIME, LOCAL TIME ZONE has to be of DATETIME datatype, and COUNTRY_CODE of VARCHAR2(3).
The data's are store in UTC time for all the country. we have to convert this to local country time. I build the procedure will generate the statement as per the country. But some of the timezone is working. like first example is working,second example is not working. I am getting following error.
dbtimezone is UTC-4
ORA-01882: timezone region not found
ex1: update Test.Maindata set MODIFIEDDATE=FROM_TZ(CAST(MODIFIEDDATE AS TIMESTAMP),'GMT') AT TIME ZONE 'America/New_York';
ex2:update Test.Maindata set MODIFIEDDATE=FROM_TZ(CAST(MODIFIEDDATE AS TIMESTAMP),'GMT') AT TIME ZONE 'Asia/Amman';
I want to reset my date to this format: 12/31/2012 11:59:59 PM - see code below:
DECLARE v_latest_close DATE; BEGIN v_latest_close := TO_DATE ('12/31/2012 23:59:59 ','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The new date format is : '|| v_latest_close); END;
the code above displays only : 12/31/2012 instead of 12/31/2012 11:59:59 PM
I am having problems with the XMLTable function. I cant get it to see the entire date/time value in a date field. This wont work
select x1.* from XMLTABLE('/DOCUMENT' passing xmltype('<DOCUMENT><STR>abc def ghi</STR><NUM>1234</NUM><DT>2013-02-17T04:24:02</DT></DOCUMENT>') columns STR varchar2(25), NUM number, DT date) x1;
However if I change the DT tag to just the date only "2013-02-17" it works. Why wont Oracle see the entire date/time format even if its ISO 8601 compliant?
When I try to extract the date tag value from XML data, the time stored in 20120602153021 format i.e., YYYYMMDD24HHMISS format. The following statement extracts only date as 02-JUN-12 however do not extract the time part.
If I try the same in SQLplus with to_date it works however fails in PL/SQL.
XML data: <?xml version="1.0"?> <RECORD> <REGTIMESTAMP>20120601130010</REGTIMESTAMP> </RECORD>
PL/SQL Extract:
CURSOR c_xml_record IS SELECT extract(value(d), '//ACTIVATIONTS/text()').getStringVal() AS REGTIMESTAMP, FROM t_xml_data x, [code].......
I currently have a table with a VARCHAR column which is used to store notes. Currently the notes read something like 'Verified 01/01/2012'. I am trying to convert it to a date column so I can run reports using the date (select between dates etc).
I have tried with the substr function but since the records are all different doesn't really work. (plus that doesn't make it a date so not sure it would work for searching).
I know this question has been asked several times. but i am starting out and i am struggling to get my head aroung it.I would like to convert datetime column of Oracle source(RPT.SHIPMENT_VW) to date while loading to sql Here is my

I currently have a field which stores a date (date employer started with the company). I want to create a view which stores this as number of days employed (e.g. if star date 1st October view will say 8). How to convert a date to a number?
I want to force a datetime field to display as date only. How can I do this? This is so when prompting for a value for this field a user doesn't have to also enter the time. At the moment the prompt returns nothing when entering only a date as it does not match any value as they all have times also.
i am using one stored procedure where in one variable which is declare as date value is coming like that '10-OCT-12 11.30.54 AM' and i am inserting this value in one table which has one column vdate with date datatype but it is not inserting there.
I have imported data from a fixed length format file into an external table in oracle which has several date fields in the format MMDDCCYY. I want to convert this into YYYYMMDD and insert it into another table in oracle with date field. A subset of the values to be converted is given below:
DOB 01051152 10581111 08151160 01031151 05131151 01111126
I have a string in this format '2011/06/01 00:00:00'. How do I convert this to date format.I tried to_date,to_char and they give errors invalid number & literal does not math format string. I don't have much control on the string since that is the way is comes from the application.
One table ACCOUNT_T.CREATED_T is number (38). It is mapped to /ACCOUNT's PIN_FLD_CREATED_T, which is timestamp. ACCOUNT_T table has one record, CREATED_T = 1362063600. This field is displayed at the GUI (Customer Center) as Feb 28, 2013 So my question, how to convert the number value (1362063600) to a date value (Feb 28, 2013)?
