SQL & PL/SQL :: Converting Char Into Date With Column Having Non-date Formats
Aug 16, 2010
i have a table with the following description
create table gl_periods(period_name varchar2(10),transactions number (2) );
with the data as :
period_name transactions
------------ --------------
JAN-10 12
FEB-10 12
MAR-10 8
APR-10 23
ADJ_TOM-10 25
MAY-10 37
JUN-10 41
JUL-10 10
PHY_JAY-10 6

SEP-10 22
My requirment is to find out the period names and transactions which are in valid date formats and are less than sysdate and the non date formats are adjustments made by different users for their transactions

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 have a small prolem thats best described like this....
a table called TONY with a field named VISITED (date as YYYYMMDD).
We want to populate the field TIMESTAMP (Last visited timestamp, 18 digits) using midnight or 00:00:00 on VISITED value.
Something like:
UPDATE TONY SET TIMESTAMP = �(whatever the formula is involving VISITED).
but i cannot figure out the best way to derive the TIMESTAMP value...
it's a date to epoch conversion, and i can find many examples of Epoch to date, but thats the wrong way around for me i'm afraid!
Oracle 11gR2 by the way...

I have a partitioned table with ~50 million rows that was setup with a number(10) instead of a date column. All the data in the table is ALWATS in this format YYYYMMDD
CREATE TABLE T1.monthly
(
SEQ_NUM NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,
DAY_DK NUMBER(10) NOT NULL
)
TABLESPACE USERS
PCTUSED 0
PCTFREE 10
[code]........
some sample data
SEQ_NUM DAY_DK
---------- ----------
990 20121225
991 20121225
992 20121225
993 20121225
994 20121225
995 20121225
996 20121225
997 20121225
998 20121225
999 20121225
When I use the exchange partition method the parition is able to move the data from "monthly" table to "mth" table.
desc t1.mth; ### my temorary table
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
SEQ_NUM NUMBER(10)
DAY_DK NUMBER(10)
Than when I try to alter my temp table "mth". I get an error table must be empty to change column types.
alter table n546830.mth modify (DAY_DK date);
Next I tried making my temporary table "mth" a date column. When I an the exchange partition command I get the following error:
alter table t1.monthly exchange partition DEC_2012
with table t1.mth without validation;
alter table n546830.monthly exchange partition DEC_2012 with table n546830.mth without validation
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14097: column type or size mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION
Method I can use to convert a number(10) to date column and keep the information in a table. Note, I don't care about HH:MM:SS as I never had that information to begin with and would be happy to set that part of the date column to all zeroes "00:00:00"

I have been allocated a new PC. Where is the date format used by forms (6i) set up. I previously used to enter 20110519 in the application and it used to accept. It now does not accept the above format.
The nls_date_format on the database is setup as YYYYMMDD.

I'm trying to work out how to take a table like this:
IDDate
12502-Feb-07
12516-Mar-07
12523-May-07
12524-May-07
12525-May-07
33302-Jan-09
33303-Jan-09
33304-Jan-09
33317-Mar-09
And display the data like this:
IDPeriodPeriod StartPeriod End
125102-Feb-0702-Feb-07
125216-Mar-0716-Mar-07
125323-May-0725-May-07
333102-Jan-0904-Jan-09
333217-Mar-0917-Mar-09
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.

I have another interesting SQL Loader issue. I have created 2 prior topics RE: "Trapping SQL Loader summary counts" and "Using Sql Loader issue". This new issue is along the same lines, but unfortunately the same input csv file has a date field that is has a different input format..
The 10G Oracle Table looks like...
---------------------------
CREATE TABLE PTLIVE.MODULE_CSV_LOADS
( MODULE_ID NUMBER (20),
MODULE_TAGNUMBER VARCHAR2(100),
MODULE_SERIAL_NUMBER NUMBER (20,0),
[code]...
My initial control file looks like...
-----------------
OPTIONS (SKIP=1)
load data
infile 'J:GrowerRound_ModulesCrop2011ProcessedBatch_2011Jul12_081326_746563.csv'
BADFILE 'J:GrowerRound_ModulesCrop2011LogsBatch_2011Jul12_081326_746563.bad'
[code]...
The input csv data file (for this example) contains 3 records. The first is a heading record that is skipped. The 2nd record
is correct and the field entitled "GMT Date" contains a value of
"16/05/2011". The 3rd record, however, has a date of "2011/5/18", which get rejected by the above control file, as the output SQL Loader log indicates...
Record 2: Rejected - Error on table PTLIVE.MODULE_CSV_LOADS, column DATEPICKED.
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
Now we will be receiving literally hundreds of these csv files and in testing I have found that when I open the csv file (the default is Excel), and Excel must alter its display, as all date appear 100% okay. However, upon opening the csv file with Wordpad, I discovered the dates in the same file had these 2 different formats. So the control file was attempting to concat the input csv file "GMT Date" in one format with the input "GMT_TIME" to load the output value into the Oracle table column
"DATEPICKED" ... but different date formats cause some records to be rejected.
It would be super if SQl Loader could use a IF clause or an OR clause to execute loading the date in one or more input formats. We only expect the 2 foramts DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD....however, there could be 6 different combinations in theory.
I thought about writing a Function or Procedure to analyst the input date and output a standard one to load into the Oracle column

oracle 11 g xe
1) I want to pass date in '12 Dec 2012'(CHARECTER) while calling SP and in side SP i have declared parameter as DATE so I think it should not create any problem in any condition whether it is passed from oracle client or any other front end?
2) I have date in (date type variable) , how to convert it into char but it should be in iso format (i want iso format , so that it should not create any problem in any condition).
3) How to convert (date in char- in iso or any good format) into (date type variable) (so that it should not create problem and this is why i wanted char date in iso format).
4) If there is any good format and function to convert (date to char) and (char to date)?

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.

I need loading date formats using sqlldr. I am trying to load some data from another source into our Oracle database, however, the "date" field includes extra characters that i'm trying to deal with. For reference, I'm running Oracle 11.2 on Linux 5.7.
First, the actual date input is:
April 18, 2013 8:50:44 AM EDTI tried to input it a few ways but was unable to load it until I physically removed the "AM EDT" from the input string.
My first question is if there is a way to RTRIM and get rid of those extra characters. Either that, or I need a way to convert the "AM EDT" into our standard date format.
My control file has the following:
LASTCHANGEDAT date "Month dd, YYYY HH MI SS",This will load the data, but only if I strip out the "AM EDT" from the actual data input which is not feasible.
Also, how would I handle date that comes in as: April 18, 2013 3:50:44 PM EDT
Also, I tried the following, but it gives me a different error:
LASTCHANGEDAT "to_date(:LASTCHANGEDAT,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')",
gives me error:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table NTWKREP.INTERFACE, column LASTCHANGEDAT.
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

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".

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 can use a function?
