SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Check If Value Is Right Date
Dec 16, 2010
I have a text column having date data. In the format of YYYYMMDD.Some of the records might have invalid date data as well. Is there any function which checks whether it's value is a right DATE? Something like
I have been tasked to validate the date format of some attributes in a table. So, to verify the data we will be getting the filed and the format to check against.
I have a column defined as Number( 8 ) which is supposed to have date values. I would like to check if all the rows in that table have valid dates. We could use to_date(coulmn_name, 'YYYYMMDD') and catch the rownums for error conditions using pl/sql. I would like to know if we could just do it using sql only and return the row numbers for those that are invalid dates?
Is there a seeded function by which I can check all the rows which stored dates in varchar column.
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'); ... commit;
Version : 4.1.1, I have a tabular form on a DB table. One of the columns is a date field. When the user hits the "add Row" button on the tabular form, I want the Date field to be defaulted to sysdate. Here is what I have tried so far,
1. Created a "hidden" item P1_SYSDATE and populated the default value with sysdate. After this, under the DB tabular report date field, I used default type - Item/application on this page and entered P1_sYSDATE
2. Instead of populating the default value of the P1_SYSDATE hidden item, I created a before regions process and added
:P1_SYSDATE := sysdate
and added P1_SYSDATE to default type of the tabular date field with default type as "ITem/application on this page.
I get the error
ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression
I tried to_Char(sysdate,'dd-mon-yyyy') and then converting it back to to_date. still no luck.
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?

Write a program to declare a date variable and assign it to the current system date. Depending on the day of the month the program should print the following:
If day is 1-10 then print "It is day<day number> of <month name>. It is early in the month". If day is 11-20 then print "It is day<day number> of <month name>. It is the middle of the month". If day is 21-31 then print "It is day<day number> of <month name>. It is nearly the end of the month".
For example, if the day is November 30, then print "It is day 30 of November. It is nearly the end of the month".
How can we partition a table based on date if it does not have a date column.
Actually I have to compare two tables on daily basis and fetch few rows from those two tables and enter it to a third table.But both these tables does not have a date column.
I am confused if i need to alter those tables and add date column or if there is some way in which i can compare the data from the two tables for that particular day only and not the whole table data.

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 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 have a date field that should be filled everyday with today's date and I need to get the days that were not entered.
i.e. :
CREATE TABLE TRY_F (DAT DATE);
INSERT ALL INTO TRY_F VALUES (to_date('01/01/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')) INTO TRY_F VALUES (to_date('02/01/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')) INTO TRY_F VALUES (to_date('04/01/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')) INTO TRY_F VALUES (to_date('05/01/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')) INTO TRY_F VALUES (to_date('06/01/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')) INTO TRY_F VALUES (to_date('08/01/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')) INTO TRY_F VALUES (to_date('10/01/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')) INTO TRY_F VALUES (to_date('14/01/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')) SELECT * FROM DUAL;

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?

The table has incorrect data. meaning for each consumer_id we want the ACTIVE_FLAG to be 'Y' only for it's latest record and the rest to be inactive. i.e. we want the data as follows:
A_ID, B_ID, CONSUMER_ID, U_DATE, ACTIVE_FLAG.
A_ID, B_ID, CONSUMER_ID, U_DATE, ACTIVE_FLAG.

I'm trying to run a script that will sum column values from a table using only a certain period of time in example below only January submissions. However, some of those rows have the same date and I want to have the latest time row of that day in the count.
