I have problem to convert simply varchar to date data type.
For example: 2012-05-28 22:36:08 and I would like to get format 28.5.2012 22:36:08
However I try to do it I get always some errors.
select '2012-05-28 22:36:08',
to_date( '2012-05-28 22:36:08', 'dd.mm.yyyy HH24:MI:SS') ,
to_char('2012-05-28 22:36:08', 'dd.mm.yyyy HH24:MI:SS')
from dual
Is there some functions to convert the long type field data to varchar2 type?

I have a table say test (test_data varchar2(100));
Now I will insert all types of records into the table varchar,number dates and then i will write q query to etch all those records only which has dates only
INSERT INTO test(1);
INSERT INTO test('ABC');
INSERT INTO test(SYSDATE);
INSERT INTO test(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY'));
INSERT INTO test(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
INSERT INTO test('15/01/2012');

I have a data synch procedure where I am extracting data from an Oracle table and inserting it into a SQL Server table. The Oracle column is VARCHAR2 and the receiving SQL Server column is Binary. I am receiving a conversion error. I have tried HEXTORAW in the Oracle procedure but it does not work. What data type can I use.

SELECT * FROM Store WHERE Quantity = 200; The LIKE operator "implements a pattern match comparison" that attempts to match "a string value against a pattern string containing wild-card characters."
For example:
SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE Name LIKE 'Chris%';
Here,I query about date type data on ORACLE database, I found the following, when I write select statment in this way:
SELECT ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_ID, ACCOUNT.LAST_TRANSACTION_DATE FROM ACCOUNT WHERE ACCOUNT.LAST_TRANSACTION_DATE LIKE '30-JUL-07';
I get all rows I'm looking for. but when I use the sign equal =
instead :SELECT ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_ID, ACCOUNT.LAST_TRANSACTION_DATE FROM ACCOUNT WHERE ACCOUNT.LAST_TRANSACTION_DATE = '30-JUL-07';
I get nothing even though nothing is different except the equal sign.
Rowid type is one of data types in oracle,is it equal to the varchar2,the flowing test show varchar2 type can contain rowid type.

I have a table with two columns called startsem and gradsem they are both CHAR(3). Within those colums are rows that are listed as SemesterYear. For example, F09 is Fall 2009, S09 Spring 2009, and M09 is Summer 2009. I would like to create a constraint that says GradSem must be greater than StartSem b/c no one can travel back in time to graduate. However, as you know you can compare S09 > F09 because it will treat it as a string. I thought I could use a substring and compare the last two digits as a year and that would work but how do I compare the semesters as a time frame? Because in my schema F > S because Spring 2011 comes before Fall 2011 but in reality F < S because to Oracle it is a string and the ASCII value of F is less than S. I cannot chage the coding of the database so editing the rows so they are more date friendly is not an option.
So how can I modify this database to acruately compare StartSem and GradSem.
I have a table with modifieddate column with 'DATE' data type.I am facing date format exception and tried with to_char, to_date but its throwing invalid number exception. how to format date accordingly.
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE modifieddate > '31-Dec-2011 18:30';
ORA-01722: invalid number
01722. 00000 - "invalid number"
I have imported data from excel to oracle 11g. But i found an error like
"Ensure format is entered for datatypes 'Date' and 'TIMESTAMP' on data type pane".
after that i try to modify type date in oracle become 'dd-mmm-yyyy'
i have a varchar2 column containing string values that can be converted to date i.e. ('31-JUL-11') and that column also contains text strings in it. i.e. ('Some string data...')
records whose column value can be converted to date are extractable via where clause (i.e. those rows are associated with some fix number / flag)
now when i try to use to_date function i get the error that
" ORA-01858 a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected "
in sql i have added a where clause to only pick rows with flag, but even then it gives the error.
using a subquery in the from clause eliminates the error, but when i create it in a view it again gives the same error.
I need to convert the type of GMT to Local time, during data entry. I have a source table and a target table.
To make the insert get the most value, I have no problems:
insert into destination (SELECT * FROM WHERE source pointnumber = (SELECT MAX (pointnumber) FROM source));
But since times are different between the tables, I want to convert the data obtained to GMT -4:30 Time (Caracas - Venezuela), before inserting it.

I have created a object type as
create type emp_obj_dtl as OBJECT (ename varchar2(50),mgr NUMBER)
create type emp_dtl_obj_typ as TABLE of emp_obj_dtl

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION emp_test_func (peno NUMBER)
RETURN emp_dtl_obj_typ
AS
lv_emp_dtl emp_dtl_obj_typ := emp_dtl_obj_typ ();
BEGIN
SELECT emp_dtl_obj_typ(emp_obj_dtl (ename, mgr))
INTO lv_emp_dtl
FROM emp
WHERE empno = peno;
RETURN lv_emp_dtl;

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).
how to proceed?
