Date format in Resultset

Hi ,
I have a resultset which fetches data from different tables. The tables include
columns incolving DATE format. The resultset fetches the date column in the
MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS format. But I need the Date format should be in the
DD-MM-YYYY format.
The problem is the column of Date format is unknown. Is there any way to set this format for the Resultset or at the time of Connection.
Thanks,
Arun

I'm not really sure what you mean, but you can change the date format in sql level:
select to_char(sysdate,'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual
or a better approach is to convert the java.sql.Date in Java.

OAF changes Date Format

Hi
I need to store a date into a flexfield. We have enabled the Flexfield and there is NO value set attached to it.
This attribute is already in the VO as a varchar, so we have just added a new column into the page as data type Date and link it to the flexfield column.
In this page we have a table layout so the user can enter 10 rows before saving them. And this page it just used to punch data into a table, which means, once the user press apply the page saves and clears. The user can not query on that page.
When entering the first row, we can open the Date picker and we can choose the date and then it populates the column as “DD-MON-YYYY”.
The problem is:
When we entering the second row after entering one column the pages changes the format of my date from the previous record to “YYYY-MM-DD”, then after entering any second column the pages clear the date from the previous row.
Running the page from JDev it shows the following message before clears the flexfield:
java.text.ParseException: 2011-01-28
Note we have not extended the VO and not extended the controller.
My questions are:
1) Why the Self-Service is change the date format to YYYY-MM-DD even if the profile ICX: Date Format Mask (31-DEC-1999) and my preference is set to DD-MON-YYYY?
2) How can I avoid this to happen? Is there any way to keep my date as DD-MON-YYYY?
Thanks,
Alex

Alex,
That was the update from Oracle support, when we raised it,
But I did the following to handle that, I feel this is not the right way, since we had that issue as SEV1, I did that as a workaround,
Check this this might help.

How to convert a String("yyyy-mm-dd") to the same but in Date format ?

Hi,
can anyone plz tell me how to convert a String to a date format.I'm using MSACCESS database.I want to store this string in the database.So i need to convert it to a date format since the table is designed such a way with date/time type for date field.I used SimpleDateFormat ,but i can't able to convert.The code is given below:
coding:
public String dateconvertion(String strDate)
try
SimpleDateFormat sdfSource = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = sdfSource.parse(strDate);
SimpleDateFormat sdfDestination = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd ");
strDate = sdfDestination.format(date);
catch(ParseException pe)
System.out.println("Parse Exception : " + pe);
return(strDate);
}

i used prepared statement even now i am getting error like this.....
i have included the prepared statement package also...
my coding:
ResultSet rsdatetemp = null;
PreparedStatement ps = null;
String query ="select distinct itemcode from sales where bill date between ? and ?";
ps = precon.prepareStatement(query);
ps.setDate(1,d1);//d1 and d2 are in date format
ps.setDate(2,d2);
rsdatetemp = ps.executeQuery();
error :
symbol : method setDate(int,java.util.Date)
location: interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
ps.setDate(1,d1);
symbol : method setDate(int,java.util.Date)
location: interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
ps.setDate(2,d2);

Independently configure date format for XML/JSON serialization

How do I configure the date format independently for each of my date fields?
For example, let's say I have a CustomerOrder class with more than 1 java.util.Date fields in it.
I need to be able to render like this:
<customerOrder>
<orderDate>2013-01-04T20:50:42.769Z</orderDate>
<user>Bob</lastUpdateUser>
<state>CO</state>
<estShipDate>2013-01-04</estShipDate>
</customerOrder>
So one of the dates may not care about the hh:mm:ss.
i.e. I cannot format every date the same way.
Any ideas?
This is my technology stack:
- Tomcat 7
- Jersey 1.16
- Enunciate 1.26.2
- Spring 3.1.2
- Hibernate 4.1.7
- JPA 2.0.3

Otis,
A "java.sql.Date" contains only a date, whereas a "java.sql.Timestamp" contains both date and time. So retrieve the data (from the database) as a "Timestamp" and not as a "Date".
Perhaps if you'd care to post the relevant part of your code and show what you are getting and what you want to get, I may be able to help you further.
Here's a small (uncompiled and untested) example:
Connection conn = // However you get it.
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select sysdate from dual");
if (rs.next()) {
Timestamp ts = rs.getTimestamp(1);
}Good Luck,
Avi.

How to set the default date format to populate a CachedRowSet...

Hi, I'm working with JDBC to retrieve some data from an Informix Database, I'm also using Flash Remoting as my User Interface.
The thing is, when I'm trying to display the recordset, the Date Format looks like this: "Fri Jan 29 18:00:00 GMT-0600 1999" so Flash cannot translate this format.
This is my Java code:
Class.forName(cnxDRV);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(cnxURL);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement( );
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( xSQL );
rowset = new CachedRowSetImpl();
rowset.populate(rs);
rs.close( );
stmt.close( );
conn.close();
return rowset;
May be, I need to insert every row on the CachedRowSet and specify the format with SimpleDateFormat, instead of using populate(), but, is there some other solution?

Trouble with date format

Hello,
i need some help with date formats. I am using JDeveloper 11g and am trying to write some SQL commands.
When i enter the following, everything is working correctly.
ResultSet query = st.executeQuery("select * from DB.TABLE where DATE > '01-01-2000'");
I need to make it work so that date can be used from a jtextarea.
String inputData =jTextArea1.getText();
ResultSet query = st.executeQuery("select * from DB.TABLE where DATE > " +inputData);
Query does not return anything.
Do i need to convert the value of inputData? What other problems could there be?
TY
Edited by: user10956166 on Apr 1, 2009 4:08 AM

Correct. Oracle will implicitly convert the date as shown below (see Predicate Information)
SQL > explain plan for select * from test where modified_date > '01/01/2008 12:00:00';
Explained.
SQL > select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
Plan hash value: 3461732445
| Id | Operation         | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time     |
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT |       |   677 |   105K|     6   (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| TEST |   677 |   105K|     6   (0)| 00:00:01 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
   1 - filter("MODIFIED_DATE">TO_DATE(' 2008-01-01 12:00:00',
              'syyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'))Don't forget to use parameterized queries (a.k.a. bind variables)!
HTH!

Need Help representing data from a ResultSet

Hi y'all,
I have an SQL query which returns information from an Access database with time tabling information (class, day, start time, etc).
I wish to display the information in table format:
EG:_________________________________
_____|MON_|_TUE_|_WED_|_THUR_|_FRI_|
9.00 | | | | | |
_____|____|_____|_____|______|_____|
10.00| | | | | |
_____|____|_____|_____|______|_____|
11.00| | | | | |
_____|____|_____|_____|______|_____|
I dont know the best way to set about putting the data from the resultset into the table. Will this be very difficult?
Many thanks in advance,
John

   this is how i would create a jsp page.
   to output the results in an html table
   you can get the column names from the resultset
   as well to put into the <TH></TH> tags (resultsetmetadata)
*/<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>SUN</TH>
<th>MON</TH>
<th>TUE</TH>
<th>WED</TH>
<th>THU</TH>
<th>FRI</TH>
<TH>SAT</TH>
</tr>
</table>
<%
   int nCols= 5;
   String rws;
   while (rs.next()) {
      int i=0;
      rws+="<tr>"
      while (i++ < nCols) {
         rws="<td>"+ rs.getString(i)+"</td>";
      rws+="</tr>";
%></body>
</html>
   this is how i would code a jsp page.
   the connection crap is missing though

Number data format

Hi All
I have a change requirement from the client where
now he wants all amount figures returned from oracle
procedures through resultsets with a comma & 2 decimal
format.
my solution was to pad all amounts with to_char(amt,'99,99,99,999.00')
Is there anyway i can set the number format for a session
something on the line of how we can set a date format using
nls_date_format parameter with a logon trigger.
Regards
Sushant

If they are real "resultsets" (i.e. reference cursors from stored procedures) then I'm guessing they are number datatypes all the way until they are displayed (where is that?). Obviously, a number datatype does not have formatting, it is in a binary raw format. It's only when you change it into a string that it takes on formatting. Just where is that conversion occuring? If Oracle is not the one doing the formatting then you obviously can't do it there.

Problem with Date formatting

Hi Tim,
I am facing some issues with formatting the date using XMLP. The following is the sample XML data file i am using:
<LIST_G_HEADER>
<G_HEADER>
<QUOTE_HEADER_ID>1455</QUOTE_HEADER_ID>
<QUOTE_NUMBER>2027</QUOTE_NUMBER>
<QUOTE_VERSION>1</QUOTE_VERSION>
<QUOTE_NAME>Test GM Report - Rabindra</QUOTE_NAME>
<SOURCE_NAME>Fletcher, MR. Paul</SOURCE_NAME>
<QUOTE_DATE>27-OCT-2005</QUOTE_DATE>
<CURRENCY_CODE>GBP</CURRENCY_CODE>
</G_HEADER>
</LIST_G_HEADER>
The formatting i use for my date field i.e <QUOTE_DATE>, ends up either with NO formatting or giving me an error "[010906_114656657][][ERROR] Invalid XSD string: 27-OCT-2005 (XMLP Template Viewer)". The default formatting available with the form field dialog box (MS-Word) feature also doesn't work.
I have the following formatting for this field in the form field:
<?format-date:QUOTE_DATE; 'MEDIUM' ?>
When i read the user guide, it reads that the date should be in the canonical format i.e: YYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
However i am not getting the date from the base table's in this format. Is the error happening due to incorrect format or is there some other reason behind this? Please let me know, how can i overcome this issue.
Thx,
Nitin

As i mentioned in another thread
substring function and date format
Please use this standards
<?xdofx:expression?>
for extended SQL functions or
<?xdoxslt:expression?>
for extended XSL functions.
Use like
<?xdofx:rpad(LAST_NAME),30, ’x’)?>
<?xdofx:Instr(’abcabcabc’,’a’,2))?>
<?xdofx:upper(char)?>
<?xdofx:lower (char)?>
<?xdofx:greatest ( expr [, expr]... )?>
ETC.....

Need to convert into date format

Hi all,
I need to convert '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00' [YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[HH]:[MM]:[SS][TIMEZONE]
in format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply
But it is giving me output as '26-NOV-08'
And I want in format '2008-11-26 07:38' i.e 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM'.
>
Then you are not looking for a date, You are looking for a string.
The date format that gets displayed is dependent on nls_date_format parameter.
If you want a string in the format you asked, then,
SELECT TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"-06:00"'), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MM:SS')
FROM DUAL;Or if you just want the date to be displayed like that then
Do,
SQL> alter session set nls_date_Format="YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS";
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT TO_DATE ( '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"-06:00"') dt
2 FROM DUAL;
DT
2008-11-26 11:07:38
SQL> G.

How to convert the numeric to date format

HI ,
     We have created the date KF and selected the data type as DEC-numeric or counter and add in the cube.
      the data for this fields in the cube are in numerics like 734.504, but when we execute the report it is converted in to date format dd.mm.yyyy.
                My issue how this conversion is working in the backend while executing the report.
Regards.

Conversion is happening because of the type you had selected for the KF while creating it.
Check the type of the Key figure?
While creating the KF you might have selected the Type as Date and Data type -DEC : Counter or amount field with comma and sign.
that's the reason why you are getting the output values displayed in dd.mm.yyyy format.
For amount field - create a KF with type "AMOUNT" and unit -0currency or specify the currency of that region.

Hi,
You can get it from "User" or "Shop" business object.
Try to get User or Shop Business Object as shown below.
BusinessObjectManager bom = (BusinessObjectManager) userSessionData.getBOM(BusinessObjectManager.ISACORE_BOM);
User user = bom.getUser();
char decimalNotation = user.getDecimalPointFormat().getGroupingSeparator();
If you are seeing "1,234.00" then above code will return "."
I hope this information help you to resolve your issue.

How to change default Date format in BO 6.5 SP4

A problem with date display has been reported to me by one of our users - in BO 6.5 - since installing SP4.
The default date format is now MM/DD/YYYY
I have tried to recreate this on my PC and have been able to confirm that this is the case.
Most of our PC's will have two versions of Business Objects on them - for 5.1.6 and for 6.5 - that is the case for my PC.
If I create a new BO document based on a spreadsheet with three entries in the spreadsheet as follows:-
20/01/2009 20-Jan-2009 20th January 2009
This displays in BO 6.5 as
1/20/2009 1/20/2009 20th January 2009
My PC regional setting is UK and the time displays DD/MM/YYYY
Can you advise how to correct this problem please.

Hi Sebastien
Thank you for your response.
I haven't checked Dimension in universe because this is happening even when datasource is an Excel spreadheet - as per details in previous post.
I have looked for *.sbo files and found one for ODBC.sbo in the Version 5 folders on PC - with date format details in it which I've changed - that doesn't make any difference.
Any other ideas?
Regards
Linda
