I recently became involved with databases, and i've came across with a little obstacle. I have strings that represent a date, they are very oddly formatted and need to store them as dates. the string format looks like this: 'Monday, May the 13th of 2001'
How can i effectively convert them to DATE type?
I have two cases
i . Convert Image to Hex String
ii . Convert the Hex Sting to Image
Case i is done, is Case ii is Possible in Oracle 11g Rel 2..?
I am getting string from my tool like this.... .. ‘ ‘PH1234’,’Ph3456’,’PH5678’ ‘
I wanted to remove single codes and take the each value and I have to process. Need output like this....
PH1234,
Ph3456,
PH5678.
I have an issue with date conversion. In my table dates are in this formate:
04-DEC-90 10:46:46
I need to convert it in To_date.
SQL> select to_date('04-DEC-90','dd-mon-yy') from dual;
TO_DATE('04-DEC-90','DD-MON-YY
------------------------------
04/12/2090
SQL>
But the year shoul be 1990 not 2090.
i write a select statement in proc that contains 44 columns.
when i precompile it. it is showing the error: implicit conversion of string literal to "char *" is deprecated.when i compile the same select with 40 columns it is not showing any error.
but for more than 40 columns (41-44) it is showing the above error.
My company uses Remedy which stores date/time as an integer. I use the following formula to convert it to a readable date:
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01/01/1970', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM')+ ((createdate - 4*3600)/(60*60*24)),'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM') as Create_Date
I have to use the "4*3600" in order to get the date to show up correctly, but even then the date sometimes comes up wrong. If the date occurs in the morning, then the date shows up as the previous day. I am sure this is probably due to the offset I am adding in the above formula. If I don't add the 4 hour offset, then the date shows up 4 hours off.
converting a string to date, my string looks like '01022013' '04022013', I tried to_date('01022013', 'dd-mm-yyyy') but couldn't work.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to change a table datatype from date to number where already existing data should get convert.any possibility of doing where i tried like this but no get changing. Even as Julian format is working a bit i want the data to come as GMT format
Scenarios where i tried are like this.
ALTER TABLE Contacts ADD ALERT_DATE1 NUMBER(20,0)
/
UPDATE Contacts SET ALERT_DATE1 = TO_NUMBER(ALERT_DATE)
/
ALTER TABLE Contacts DROP COLUMN ALERT_DATE
/
ALTER TABLE Contacts RENAME COLUMN ALERT_DATE1 TO ALERT_DATE

but second statement failing.
Julian fomat like
SELECT sysdate,
TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'J'),
TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'J'),'J')
FROM dual;
I am converting data from an old paradox table to a new oracle table, one of the problems im having is incompatibility with date and time formats:
some columns contain times in the format : "00:00:00" eg..... "15:00:00"
some columns have date in the format: "dd/mm/yyyy" eg....... "21/08/2000"
some columns have time and date eg.. "05/09/2000 15:49:39"
Currently I have the data held in tables within an access database, and in CSV format.
eg, I have dates like 03/04/2010 which i need to be 03-APR-10....
how I can get the following into Oracle date formats? there is over 1000 records so manual conversion is out of the question
I have been given some data in excel sheet to be uploaded in an Oracle Table. The dates are in Julian. The date in Julian in excel sheet is as :-'110048'.
In the excel file, I found that the cell was formatted as General and when I changed the formatting to Date I got the result as '19/04/2211'.
tell me a way to convert this Julian to mm/dd/yyyy format to be inserted into a table in Oracle.
Tried this :-
SQL> SELECT to_char(to_date(to_char(110048), 'J'),'DD/MM/YYYY') FROM dual;
TO_CHAR(TO

18/04/4411
Not sure how to go about it.
I am having a strange issue with date conversion. The errors encountered are :
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to '>'
The situation or test case is as follows:
create table sand_programs(prog_code varchar2(20), prog_end_dt date);
create table sand_program1(prog_code varchar2(20), filing_date number(15));
Result : Both the tables are created.
Now I create a procedure below as mentioned, to check if the filing_date is greater than the prog_end_dt or not.If the filing_date is greater than prog_ end_dt, then it should go to the 1st "dbms_output.put_line" message else it should go to the 2nd "dbms_output.put_line" message.
Here's my procedure:
create or replace procedure test_sand(p_program_cd in number) is
v_prog_end_dt date;
v_filing_date number;

I am passing a Date to the Oracle Procedure in `date +'%b_%d-%H:%M:%S'` format.
rmsqa813.2 /home/ashlaksh> echo `date +'%b_%d-%H:%M:%S'`

The oracle Procedure's SQL is as following,
SELECT ffdh.fiscal_doc_id INVOICE_ID,
ffdh.location_id LOCATION_ID
FROM fm_fiscal_doc_header ffdh,
fm_schedule fs
[code]........
The above SQL is not getting the data as the Date format "AND ffdh.last_update_datetime <=i_last_update_datetime " is not matching..
Do I need to convert the Date ? ( But i_last_update_datetime is DATE)
the data in the column is in below format

2/10/2009 9:28:41 PM
mm/dd/yyyy
my requirement is

YYYYMMDD
I would like to know how to convert the following:
13-AUG-12 03.30.06.146 PM
to the format:
"MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM"...
I believe there is a time zone issue here as well, since the should actually be around 11:30am. I am not sure what time zone is being used.
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
4> Will DB need more space due to the change
I can't seem to understand why the hour is incorrect. Below query "dte_computation_on_data" is the old function they use to convert date and insert it to the table. Problem is when I revert it to the actual date the hour
is incorrect.

basically I have to insert in a date field a string that is a year(four characters).
The problem is that I have to convert a string in date obtaining just a year. How can i do this?
We store the date in String Type format of "MON-YYYY", we require to run the report base on that string contain date column, During the Query execute the Error Display of (ora-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected)
The Query is :

I have Dynamic report and column say some_date column and data can be in the columun (01-JAN-13) OR (01-JAN-13,04-JAN-13), (01-JAN-13,04-JAN-13,10-JAN-13) so on.
in actual table column some_date is date field but in report as above (string) because using RTRIM(some_date, ',') some_date within the select MODEL clause.
my problem is when run the report and select filter from action menu then it doesn't give option such as < , > or so on because of string but I want it should give <, <=, >, >= operators too as date column.
When I try to update a date column with this:
UPDATE
event_request
SET
REQ_EVENT_DATE = TO_CHAR(REQ_EVENT_DATE - INTERVAL '1' HOUR, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi')
WHERE
eventID=123
Oracle returns this error:
ERROR at line 4:ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
where line 4 is REQ_EVENT_DATE = TO_CHAR(REQ_EVENT_DATE - INTERVAL '1' HOUR, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi').The REQ_EVENT_DATE field was originally populated with this stripped down query:
$date = '2007-12-25 08:35'; INSERT INTO (REQ_EVENT_DATE) VALUES (to_date('$date', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi'));
So - what is wrong with the UPDATE query?

And display the data like this:

As you can see, it's split the entries into date ranges. If there is a 'lone' date, the 'period start' and the 'period end' are the same date.
