I would like to inquire how do I code my select statement if my user enter a search date range(search startDt: 01/08/2012 and search endDt :30/09/2012) and I will like to retrieve only the 7records out from my table as shown below ?
1-Shift_date shift date *used to contain shift timings 2-Attendace_datedate *used to contain employee IN timings
As you all know that shift is a setup form, where user input data once in the starting of software so the shift_date can be "01/jan/2011 16:00 pm" but attendance loads daily and attendance field data can be in this form "24/mar/2011 16:15 pm"..Now I want to calculate difference time between these two fields therefore I used this statement
SQL> Select to_char(attendance_date,'HH24:MI') to_char(shift_date,'HH24:MI') from dual;
but it is showing error: ORA-01722: invalid number...I used hours/minutes format mask in my query because you can see there is a difference of dates between these fields and it will be increase in the coming future and I need late hours and minutes.
i load data to this table from a file using sqlldr.
what is the proper data type should i use in control-file for both the fields.? i dont mention any datatye in ctl file which is working fine with given dataset.
DIDDOB_INFO(VARCHAR2) 34425 Mar 1967 123 12 MAR 1963;25 FEB 1974;25 AUG 1978 46515 FEB 1980
I want to join the columns DOB from table -1 and DOB_INFO from table 2 but the datatype of DOB is DATE and DOB_INFO is VARCHAR. TO_DATE function is not working here.
I want to load a delimited file that contains many records which contained within the table where I'm going to load a date type field and I need to do this by concatenating three fields
field1 = 1 - this is the day field2 = 11 - this corresponds to the month field3 = 5 - this corresponds to the year
I need is in the field Save as type date 01/11/2005 i don´t know how to do it but I tried as follows but I get error loading.
In my application I show the Date in Hijri using the NLS setting. but the issue that "i face a deference between the real hijri date with oracle hijri date"
Assume that the real hijri date on 18-SEP-2012 was 02/11/1433 in hijri but in oracle was 03/11/1433
when I execute the following query it shows me "1433/11/03", but the actual Hijri date is "1433/11/02"
select to_char(to_date('20120918','YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD', 'NLS_calendar='''||'ARABIC hijrah') FROM DUAL;
during application migration, i got one table from MS Access, and have situation where two events are splited into 4 columns (start: date1 time1 and stop: dat2 and time2). How to properly calculate duration between these two events, and show it in format: hh:mi ?
oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit Production PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production "CORE 11.1.0.6.0 Production"
In the database, NLS_DATE_FORMAT = DD-MON-RR.I have a date field called LOAD_DATE in one of the tables. I want to store the value as '25-OCT-11 01:16:25 PM' in LOAD_DATE field. Is there a way to do it without changing the NLS parameter (ALTER SESSION...) ?
In my server , already 10g r2 is installated , now am installaling 11r2, during this, at final stage while running root.sh , it will propmt to override 3 files, oraenv,dbhome .. etc under /usr/local/bin in solaris sys, as these files are already owned by 10g owner ,what i have to select (y or n)?
I am using the same query on a different table and there's no problem on it:
select to_char(ENTRYDATE,'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from TBL_XX_PROGRAM where ENTRYDATE > sysdate -10 and rownum <10 03-03-2011 17:06:48 03-03-2011 17:06:48 03-03-2011 16:59:08 03-03-2011 16:59:08 03-03-2011 12:04:21
I checked the DDL of both tables and the only difference is that the TBL_XX_PROGRAM have the ENTRYDATE field defined as not null and the ENTRYDATE on the TBL_BANDWIDTH_READS does not have the same constraint, could it affect?
I have table called INFO and the column called CREATED_DATE . Now the datatype of CREATED_DATE is of varchar2 . Now If I need to query the table through select statement where I need to order the result based on CREATED_DATE , how can i achieve this ?
I am trying to run select query on xml using xmltable. One of the tag returns date and I want to take it in date format in xmltable column.
select t.* from XMLTYPETEST xt , XMLTable ('/TestData/trade' passing xt.data columns test varchar2(100) path 'GenTest/Id', testdate date path 'DateTest/Date')t;
But its throwing error as -
SQL Error: ORA-29958: fatal error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string 29958. 00000 - "fatal error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine" *Cause: Failed to successfully execute the ODCIIndexCreate routine.
I have an attribute in my DB called start_date of type date.I want a query that return the difference between the start_date and the current date.for example if start_date = 2/14/2013 *2*:35:00 PM and the current date = 2/14/2013 *1*:35:00 PM the query returns 1.
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 :
select period_name,doc_sequence_value,doc_sequence_id,date_created,name,JE_SOURCE,XX from ( select period_name,doc_sequence_value,doc_sequence_id,date_created,name,JE_SOURCE,TO_DATE(XX,'DD/MM/RRRR') XX from ( select TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(('01-'||substr(gl.period_name,1,3)||'-'||substr(gl.period_name,5,2)),'DD/MM/RR'),'DD-MON-RRRR') xx,
First, I'm aware that the equals (=) operator is a "comparison operator compares two values for equality." In other words, in an SQL statement, it won't return true unless both sides of the equation are equal. For example:
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.
Find the date difference. I need to find that how many days the task is pending, if ACT_NAME field switching from 'SET PENDING%' to 'RESUME PENDING%' by using ACTIONTAKENDATETEXT field in the History table.
Example as needed: NoPendingDays = 23 (8+15)
I have attached Create table and Insert table values sample as SQL file.
