Date Format Help: DD-MON-YY

Hello everyone.
Good Day.
I would like to seek your help regarding my inquiry on the PL/SQL script output that I am trying to create.
Please see below output of my script:
L7,CU4450278,70X1W01AGA-ASY,11813,20-6æ -13,0
L7,CU4464442,747X32VH9015-ASY,3394,20-6æ -13,0
L7,CU4464766,747X22VH9015-ASY,3383,21-6æ -13,0
As you can see in the CSV output, the date has some invalid value, the "6æ " should have been Jun (i.e. Short Month format of June).
My script has this code for date dbms_output to_char(startplan_rec.str_startdate,'DD-MON-YY')
The startplan_rec.str_startdate data type is date.
I have tried querying the same table in the oracle sql developer, but i am getting the correct output (e.g. 20-Jun-13).
Please help me on having my desired date format output on my pl/sql. Why is my date output on my script incorrect?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jeff.

Hi Hoek:
I am using sql plus for the project.
I was just following a certain format from a requirements that is why I am still using the YY thing.
BTW, I've heard about the Y2K thing when i was on college.
THanks,
Jeff.
Boy does that make me feel old. A few years ago I was at a workshop when a young developer expressed to me his opinion that Y2K was a hoax. His "proof" was the fact that "nothing happened after all." I had to explain to him that reason it seemed "nothing happened" is because armies of guys like me had spent two years busting our butts fixing the problem before the excrement collided with the ventilation system.
But I have code that is older than his birth certificate.

Convert date format from 'dd/mon/yy' to 'mon/yy'

I know there's probably a load of questions already on this but I can't locate a simple straightforward explanation with examples on how to change the date 'DD/MON/YY' format to a month/year format 'MON/YY'.
Can anyone assist with a useful response, Thanks

Thanks both of you for the prompt responses.
I used the to_char(sysdate,'mmyy') from dual response, but also found the other useful.
Just another quick question, this field was in date format, why did I need to change it to CHAR?DATE datatype have NO format & are stored as BINARY values.
The only datatype that can be presented to screen, CRT, or data file are ASCII CHARACTERS!

Date Format help needed

Hello Friends,
I need to mormat my date valye to get something like the following:
Sunday December 3rd, 2006 OR
Tuesday December 5th, 2006
I understand that one can give a custom format for date as per the SimpleDateFormat symbols. However, I did not find anything for achieveing the pattern in bold
Can you please help?
Regards,
Leena

umm.. did not think about it..
I thought on it after reading your post.
My first thoughts for writing my own formatter are that I will have to extend the SimpleDateFormat class, right?
Not sure what do I do next.. :(

Data format - Help needed!!!!!

I have a String with this value:"Thu Dec 19 09:23:49 2002" ;
is there a java method to convert it automatically in another string to this format: "19/12/2002" or "12/19/2002" (it depends on italian date)
thanks all!!

As dateString does not seem to be a proper Java term (unless Mr sssako knows something I do not) I would be a string.
You could do it with two instances of SimpleDateFormat, one set up for the format of the string you have and one set up for the format you want.
You then call parse() on the first one to get a date and use that date as the parameter to a call to format on the second one.
String s = "Thu Dec 19 09:23:49 2002";
SimpleDateFormat input = new SimpleDateFormat("E MMMM d HH:mm:ss yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat output = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
try
    s = output.format( input.parse(s) );
    System.out.println(s);
catch ( ParseException e )
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Need help in converting date format

Hi,
Need help in converting date format from 'DD-MON-YYYY' to 'YYYY-MM-DD' in an .rtf template as I believe xml publisher supports the date format as 'YYYY-MM-DD' only.
Thanks,
Raj.

I got the same problem, anyone know how to solve this problem? I allready found some date functions on http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/09/date_functions.html . I also tried <?xdoxslt:month_name(xdoxslt:get_month(xdofx:substr(NEED_BY_DATE, 4,3)), $_XDOLOCALE), 0, 'nl-NL')?>, but then it returns a namespace error (Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Namespace prefix 'xdofx' used but not declared.). Anyone know how to fix this?

Regarding TO_DATE function and Default Date Format DD-MON-YY

I am using oracle 10.2 version. As far as my knowledge default date format is 'DD-MON-YY'. I want to know that why first query is not giving result.
SQL> select sysdate from dual
2 where sysdate = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY');
no rows selected
SQL> select sysdate from dual
2 where to_date(to_char(sysdate),'DD-MON-YY') = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY');
SYSDATE
06-JUL-11
Thanks,
Rohit

A date in Oracle always contains hours, minutes and seconds. These values can optionally all evaluate to zeroes, at midnight.
TO_DATE('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY') means midnight of the sixth of july 2011.
So
sysdate = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY') only at midnight of the sixth of july 2011...
While during the day, after midnight,
trunc(sysdate) = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY')and
sysdate > to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY')Max

Hi,
I ve tried out the solutions suggested by you and tried using java.sql.Timestamp
as follow:
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%@ page import="oracle.sql.*" %>
String dateString = rset.getString("installation_dt");
java.sql.Timestamp date = new java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(dateString);
But tomcat throws up the following error
:104:
cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class valueOf
location: class java.sql.Timestamp
java.sql.Timestamp date = new java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(dateString);
Hope you can help me.

Date format issue in Web Analysis...

Hi,
I am creating a report by connecting to a couple of relational tables. I'm using SQL Spreadsheet and SQL Subscription objects. I'm creating a Date filter using SQL Subscription object (list box) using the data source created by the SQL Spreadsheet. My database default date format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'. But in the list box it shows as 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SI". When this value is selected, I get a "Literal mismatch error" since it doesn't match with the value stored in the database.
Why the format in WA is showing in this format even though it is fetchting it from my database in which the format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'. Is this related to WA date format settings? I cannot find anywhere in WA studio where I can set date formats. Is this something to be set in the server or webanalysis.properties file?
PS: I tried to work around this by storing the date value as character in the database but then I am not able to sort them ascending or descending order.I also tried creating the web analysis relational database connection which creates a virtual cube. But even there when I build the report using Data Source Navigator, it is showing date in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SI'.

Hi,
Let me provide you the details of the report.
A concurrent program has been created with executable as XDODTEXE (XML publisher report).
In the data definition, we have embed one query which fetches transaction date and due date from some tables based on some conditions.
Now, we have to show these date columns in report output which will be in EXCEL format.
We want these date outputs to be printed in dd/mm/yyyy format. That is the reason we had given-
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE (SUBSTR(transaction_date,1,10), 'DD/MON/RRRR'),'DD/MM/RRRR') in the SQL query.
Problem in output is- In date columns, data after 12th is fine i.e. in format dd/mm/yyyy, it is printing properly.
But before 12th, it is printing in format mm/dd/yyyy as mentioned below-
01/10/2012--wrong format, it should be 10/01/2012
01/11/2012--wrong format, it should be 11/01/2012
01/12/2012--wrong format, it should be 12/01/2012
13/01/2012--correct format (dd/mm/yyyy)
14/01/2012--correct format (dd/mm/yyyy)
How can i send you the attachment, is there any way/any email id?

Date format in Oracle 10g XE

I'm using Oracle 10g XE on Windows Vista and I'm curious as to what determines the date format.
According to the globalization section in the Oracle installation guide the NLS_DATE format is dependent on the NLS_LANGUAGE setting. In my database the NLS_LANGUAGE is American, the NLS_TERITORY is America and all other NLS_* parameters are blank (default).
From that I would expect the default date format to be mon-dd-yyyy.
However when I run SELECT sysdate FROM dual the date is reported as dd/mm/yyyy and this was the default format when I used SQL Developer and when I used the command line SQL*Plus. Obviously something else is determining the date format, but what?

Your settings are dependent on NLS_LANG on the client.
They are derived from (assuming Windows) the regional settings of the O/S.
This means in Western Europe the default 'American_America.WE8MSWIN1252'.
This makes the default NLS_DATE_FORMAT dd-mm-yy.
You can override this in the registry, or set up an after logon trigger.

Convert Oracle date format masks to Java format masks

Have an application based on Oracle that stores data in text form (for display) and in native date format. It is being migrated to another application with a Java based front end that can only use Java format masks to display the dates in the desired display format.
Is there a way to translate the Oracle format masks to Java? I can do this in SQL or PL/SQL using the database or in Java.
I really don't want to write detailed code to parse the masks, although if parsers are available to take an oracle mask into its metadata (minute, year, etc), it may be possible for me to write the code.
This seems like something that must have been done many times over the years. I would prefer to reuse workable code rather than reinventing the wheel.
To be clear, I do not need to alter data or convert dates shown in string form. Just the format masks so the new app will display dates in the same manner as the old app. Fortunately, both apps handle interpreting the format masks in their native technology, so it is just converting the format mask.

kenmadsen wrote:
Both applications have a varchar2 column and a date column. A date picker selects and returns the date in native format for storage and the application uses the mask to format the varchar2 column for display (and storage). The old application uses an Oracle date format mask DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI and the new application uses Java date masks (DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm). (I may not have the translation from HH24 to hh correct).
The date column and the display column store the same information (a date), but one is stored natively and the other is displayed as the application administrator want the particular row to be formatted for display. (the mask is a column in the same table as the other 2 columns). Each row has characteristics (other columns) that determines what the data is and how it should be shown (some things need to show time; others only the date)
So the problem is, when migrating, the new application cannot render the dates as the old app did because "Mon" is Oracle format, not Java format.
No data is being converted in the migration, except for the mask itself. Both applications have the same record structure with respect to these columns and they both use the mask to generate the formatted varchar2 data for display in the application and storage.too bad you insist on try to describe with words rather than actual CODE.
Please explain again why this is an Oracle problem & NOT a Java problem?
Oracle RDBMS is a data repository & can't automagically change data content for you.

Date format Problem in forms&reports Services 10g

Hi Dears,
I Faced a problem during running reports ( i am using forms& Reports Services 10g), when i pass the parameters via parameter form to the report (built in forms10g Rel 2.0) its appearing in arabic like (25-يناير-2010) as my Date Formate is (DD-YYYY-MON) and NLS_LANG parameter is defined as Arabic_Saudi arabia.AR8MSWIN1256 so as a result report is not running due to unknown Date formate, how can i change the Same Date format (DD-YYYY-MON) to appear in english like (25-2010-JAN)
Thanks

You could specify the parameter as type VARCHAR2, explicitly cast it (maybe to DD.MM.YYYY) when you pass it from forms and cast it back in your query, like TO_DATE(:P_PARAM, 'DD.MM.YYYY')
