thanks for your answer, but I asked to use sql loader instead of the external table, which so my question is why can not the epochtime converted to datetime, if there is no way to convert a datetime epochtime using sql loader, so I'm required to use the external table. thank you.
This is my error log:

How to convert Epoch time to Datetime (YYYYMMDDHH24MMSS)

Hi,
In our Oracle db, Datetime is stored as Epoch time (seconds since january 1st 1970). To get a readable date, I have converted those fields as followed:
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('19700101000000', 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS')+((DATE_FIELDS-18000) /(60*60*24)),'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS')
Result ex: 20100830135422
The problem is that the resulting fields are in VARCHAR2 instead of DATE so it causes issues in SAP BW reporting development. BW developpers can manage something to make it eventually work but I would like to correct this at the source if it is possible.
I have already tried to add another "TO_DATE" function at the beginning of the previous expression but I get a date in "DD-MMM-YY" format as a result even if I have forced another date format.
Any idea on how I could solve this?
Thanks a lot

Ok, there is clearly a disconnect here.
Oracle stores dates in a DATE datatype. This means that, internally, it will store enough information for a 4 digit year, a month, date, hour in 24 hour time, minute, and second. All that information is stored in the DATE datatype inside the database, but, it's stored in an internal format, that has nothing to do with what it will look like when you print it. When you want to retrieve it, Oracle must have a date format string, so that it knows how to display that information. If you do not provide a date format string via the TO_CHAR() function, Oracle has a parameter called NLS_DATE_FORMAT that provides the default format to use. If you have not set the NLS_DATE_FORMAT, it defaults to DD-MON-YY.
So, having said all that, what are you actually trying to do?
You started with this expression:
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('19700101000000', 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS')+((DATE_FIELDS-18000) /(60*60*24)),'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS')How is that expression used? In a SELECT statement? Then you probably want it the way it's written above. In an INSERT statement? If so, then if the datatype of the column you're inserting into is DATE, then you probably need to eliminate that outer TO_CHAR conversion, so that the expression returns a date that can be inserted into DATE column.
Tell us more about what you want to do, and perhaps we can offer further help.

sqlldr is an application residing in the OS. procedure runs in the dbms engine.
you cannot run an os command directly from a procedure or a function or a package .
If you want to do so you need to use either a daemon process created by a PRO*C program
or a JAVA stored procedure to do so.
just refer to previous question forums, you can find the solution. Somebody has already given a solution using
java to run an OS command . check it out

Converting EPOCH time stamp to time stamp in Oracle

Hi,
I need a help regarding how to convert the epoch Time stamp, to oracle date and time format.
for example,
for epoch time stamp:1204104116656
the time stamp should be :2008-02-13 12:43:00.351
Thanks in Advance
Basil Abraham

Are you sure you've got the right timestamp? Assuming this is a standard unix epoch time stamp with the epoch date starting at 1970-01-01 UTC the interval between 1970-01-01 UTC and 2008-02-13 is 13922 days, but your epoch timestamp divided by the number of miliseconds in a day 1204104116656/(1000*60*60*24) comes out to 13936.390... days a difference of 14 days 9 hours 21 minutes 56 seconds and 656 miliseconds.
Anyway to convert you need to convert your epoch date into an interval and add it to the starting epoch date (as a timestamp):
select to_timestamp_tz('1970-01-01 utc', 'yyyy-mm-dd tzr')+
numtodsinterval(1204104116656/1000,'second') dstamp

How to get the time for executing an SQL statement?

hi all...
How can I get the total execution time for a given SQL statement to a ViewObject which is created dynamically for this SQL so that the end user knows it before hand and try to stop it or go further..?
Please post any ideas if you have got..!!!
thanx in advance..

This is not really a question for the JDeveloper forum, but rather for the DB forum.
Since Oracle9i there is a way to estimate how long a query will take, before executing it.
Check it out in the Oracle DB documentation or ask on the DB forum.
There is no built-in functionality for this in JDeveloper, but you should be able to call out to the DB from your Java code to get the estimate.

SQL Loader Oracle 10g problem in upload date with time data -- Very urgent.

Hi
I am trying to upload data using SQL loader. There are three columns in the table
defined as DATE. When I tried upload a data like this '2007-02-15 15:10:20', it is not loading time part. The date stored as 02/15/2008' only. There is not time on that. I tried with many different format nothing work. Can please help me ?
I have also tried with to_date --> to_timestamp it did not work.
The application is going to be in production, I cannot change DATE to TIME STAMP. This is very urgent.
LASTWRITTEN "decode(:LASTWRITTEN,'null',Null, to_date(:LASTWRITTEN,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:Mi:SS'))",
CREATEDON "decode(:CREATEDON,'null',Null, to_date(:CREATEDON,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:Mi:SS'))",
LASTUPDATEDON(21) "decode(:LASTUPDATEDON,'null',Null, to_date(:LASTUPDATEDON(21),'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))"

Your problem is most likely in decode - the return type in your expression will be character based on first search value ('null'), so it will be implicitly converted to character and then again implicitly converted to date by loading into date column. At some of this conversions you probably are loosing your time part. You can try instead use cast:

OWB 10gR2 : How to configure ctl and log locations for Sql*Loader mappings?

Hi all,
I'm using OWB 10gR2 to load data in tables with Sql*Loader mappings.
In my project I have a datafile module and an Oracle module.
When creating an sql*loader mapping in the oracle module, there is two properties for this mappings that I want to modify. The first is Control File Location and the second is Log File Location. Values for those properties are equal to the data file module location. When trying to change those values I can only chose "Use module configuration location".
Somebody knows how to configure those properties with different locations as the one of the flat file module?
What I want to do is to store the data file in one directory, and control file and log file in other directories.
Thank you for your help.
Bernard

Hi,
You're right, my problem is that the dropdown only show the location associated with the flat file location even if I have other file locations created in the design repository.
The good news is that I have found the solution to solve the problem :
1) Edit the file module and in tab "Data locations", add the locations you want to use for control file and log file.
2) Open configuration window of the mapping and then the dropdown for properties Control File Location and Log File Location show new locations
I have tested my mapping after changing those properties and it's working.

How to Convert a 'Time Stamp' field to Date......?

Hello Gurus:
I am using a Generic Extractor to pull some stats data. One of the field is a Time Stamp field, which tells me the date and time of Transaction run. I only need "Date". I tried mapping the stamp field to Date info-object hoping for a automatic determination of the Date.... (like the Week, Month happens). Well, I was wrong!
I only need the Date part. How can I do this in BI? is teher a specific SAP info-object for this that could be used..? If not, what would be the routine. The Date field that comes in is a SAP format... "u201C20,070,505.0000000u201D meaning the Transaction was run
on 05/05/2007. How can I get this convertion in BI transaformation?? is there a special Routine...?
Also, we are trying to use "Time Stamp" based DELTA from a generic extraction. The field used is a System date with time stamp. Value looks like u201C20100,505,170,113.2918470u201D, u201C20100,505,170,113.4748820u201D Every record pulled has a different value... probably giving me the time at which the record was created or generated. Now, with DELTA specifid on this type of field, what will be the 'Current Status" value in Delta queue? Is it based on the last record created and will that be the highest value? For next Delta extraction, does it compare the extraction time stamp to this value and bring in those records that are greater than the 'Current Status" value? I guess with that we can have as many deltas as we want..... right?? is there any particular setting I should be doing or worried/ careful about setting etc....?
Thanks for the response in advance....

Thanks Akshay,
Your suggestion worked right away and was probably the easiest of all. I tried the Function Module that Pravender suggested,
but it did not return me the date back.... may be because it does not need the Micro Seconds in it....? Routine as suggested by
Satyam might work too, but did not go there....!
Thanks to all of you.

Converting epoch time to a date

Anyone know of a function to do this. I cant find any in the api and my searches bring up nothing.

You can create your class that extends GregorianCalendar.Then you can access the protected class in super class. Following codes are what I write to handle this problem. Hope it help.
import java.util.*;
public class Test10{
     public Test10(){
          init();
     public void init(){
          MyCalendar calendar1 = new MyCalendar();
          calendar1.set(2002, 07, 12);
          System.out.println("time in epoch: " + calendar1.getTimeInMillis());
     public static void main(String[] str)
          new Test10();
     private class MyCalendar extends GregorianCalendar
          public MyCalendar(){
               super();
          public long getTimeInMillis()
               return super.getTimeInMillis();
