How To Get Shorter Date Format (without Timestamp)
Sep 11, 2009
I get data from one table into a gridview and one of the columns is a date. I get it with date and time stamp but I want solely the date in my gridview.
I am wanting to write a procedure which takes in a TIMESTAMP datatype as a parameter. I only really want the time, not the date part.I am struggling to understand however what format the inserted TIMESTAMP would take. E.g
T3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24-MAR-11 11.29.04.491927 24-MAR-11 11.29.17.085396
system@id.world> select t4 from t;
T4 --------- 24-MAR-11 24-MAR-11
system@id.world> select * from nls_instance_parameters;
PARAMETER VALUE ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA NLS_SORT NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE
system@id.world> select * from nls_database_parameters;
PARAMETER VALUE ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16 NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA NLS_CURRENCY $
[Code]...
PARAMETER VALUE ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- NLS_TIME_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
[Code]...
20 rows selected.
system@id.world> show parameter nls_timestamp_fo
NAME TYPE VALUE ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------ nls_timestamp_format string system@id.world> create table newt(t1 timestamp);
system@id.world> insert into newt values('12-jan-2010 11:00:00:068801'); insert into newt values('12-jan-2010 11:00:00:068801') * ERROR at line 1: ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
system@id.world> insert into newt values('12-jan-2010 11.00.00.061');
1 row created.
system@id.world> insert into newt values('12-jan-2010 15.00.00.061');
1) what is significance of '.' here? insert into t values(timestamp'2011-03-24 11:03:00.05','12-mar-2011 11.03.00.055',systimestamp,localtimestamp);
2) while inserting using "values(timestamp'2011-03-24 11:03:00.05'" where this yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss.FF format comes from?
3)what is role of nls_timestamp_format of nls_database_parameters in this? how it allowed me to insert value "'12-mar-2011 14.03.00.055'" which has hh24 format?
4) Does the format of localtimestamp is decided by nls_database_parameters?
Note : I have not set nls_date_format in my session
I tried to read the link below but could not understand above
From ETL to Oracle, I have stored the timestamp in varchar2 as '30-MAY-11 06.30.00.000000 PM'. Now I need to convert this varchar2(timestamp format) to date. I used:
select TRUNC('30-MAY-11 06.30.00.000000 PM','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi') from dualBut, it doest work. get date format?
I want to write a query to get the time stamp from only one date column,
I tried using a group by clause but getting error "not a group by exp."
Below is the query
SELECT ProdID,ProdRequestID, SUBSTR((max(EVENTTIMESTAMP) - min(EVENTTIMESTAMP)), 18,2)Execution_Time FROM LOG_TIMESTAMPS where ProdID = 1680988889 group by ProdRequestID ProdID||ProdRequestID ||EVENTTIMESTAMP
[code]....
In the above i am looking for a diference on ProdRequestId,
When I run a query form the the Query Window in Visuial Studios 2012 all the date fields truncated to 'mm/dd/yyyy', but i need the full date returned. I am able to get full date from TO_char(MyDateField, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'), but if I do TO_DATE(MyDateField, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') it only returns 'mm/dd/yyyy'. I'm sure this is a simple setting in Visual studios but I cant find it to save my life. Is there there a way to have the full date returned by default?
A field named xxx_date is a text item which we have to enter manually so as to update a record in that particular date. This is a mandatory field without which we cannot continue the data entry..
I am getting this error while trying to update the record
FRM-40509 :Oracle error :unable to update record
I have kept the enabled = yes required=no data type=Date.. in the property pallet
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
Due to some business requirements a table field needs to change from date to timestamp in order to handle the millisecs.
1>When i alter the row , for a table with 150 million recs will there be a conversion. Is there a recommended way to convert the field. Mind you this field is used as a part of composite PK.
2> There is a interfacing application which connects and copies the data to its system and is using the date type, will that application be able to continue to work without any changes, if it does not care about the millisecs.
3> Will there be performance impact on an existing application that uses the date field to sort
I have a column where I have time stamp with date and time(8-May-10 10:20:55 Am) from that i will get only time(10:20:55 Am)[query for this mentioned below] Now i need to append the time to current date and insert into a Timestamps column only .
so my result should be 17-May-11 10:20:55 Am(Assuming current Date is 17-May-11) . I tried search it by i found a way in sql server by using DataAdd and DataDiff .
query to get the time is:select to_char(to_date('11-MAY-11 05.00.00 PM', 'DD-Mon-YY HH:MI:SSAM'),'HH24:MI:SS') "Time Now" from dual
I have table named purchage with 2 columns (order_no number,order_date date) in my database. I want to load the data from a file into that table. The below is the file format
100,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 101,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 102,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 103,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 104,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 105,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 106,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM
how to load the date filed along with the time stamp.
In one of the query used like below is it correct or any need to be correct for date format? currently it's returning two tyoe of sets 1.NUll 2.01-JAN-00
SELECT withdrawn_date FROM csd where NVL(csd.withdrawn_date,'01-JAN-1900') = '01-JAN-1900';
I have a simple question, hope it has a simple answer. I changed the default date format for a SCHEMA using a TRIGGER and AFTER LOGON, so it set the NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'. It does work fine, however, the problem is when I connect using a client with JDBC driver. When using SQL PLUS I get the date in the format specified above YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS, however, when using a client (Aqua Data 6.5.8 I know it is kinda old) and SQuirrel SQL 3.4.0 I always get the date in the YYYY-MM-DD format. I started to think that the issue is with the JDBC because it works fine when I connect with SQLPLUS.
follwing is my structure and data in table. COLA has datatype varchar2.data in table is date..... now i want to convert all the dates in 'yyyymmdd' format.
IS it possible?
SQL> select * from taba;
COLA --------------- 1944-02-10 1982-07-20 08/24/1974 03/14/1957 22-Nov-79
While am working with Decode just found something, why it is returning like this.
I Ran this query where i have used all the date format as DD/MM/YYYY SELECT DECODE(TO_DATE('25/04/2001','DD/MM/YYYY') , TO_DATE('01/01/1900','DD/MM/YYYY'), NULL , TO_DATE('25/04/2001','DD/MM/YYYY')) TEST FROM DUAL
Quote: TEST ------------- 25-APR-01
But the resule i got in DD-MON-YY
i tried searching this forum with searching strings Decode date format.. or similer i found nothing.
