Oracle 8i database-Date format

hello
i got my database in mssql server, now we want to shift to Oracle8i, while accomplishing above task, i am not able to export date type data from mssql to oracle8i, because of date format
mssql date format is "07/21/2001" and oracle8i, format is "21-jul-2001" .
please help me to solve above problem as early as possible.
Regards,
Aarti

I think you're off-topic here.
Anyway: Oracle doesn't have "a" date format, it just has a default one. (The client (e.g. SQL*Plus) often has a different default one, come to think of it.)
You don't say how you're doing your data loading. If you're using SQL*loader then I think you get to specify a date format using "DATE 'mm/dd/yyyy'". If you're using a different client or tool then you can always alter the default for this session using " ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format = 'mm/dd/yyyy'; ".
This is all fairly evident from R-ing-TFM, though. (Hope I haven't annoyed anyone by replying?) But I'd be very surprised if SQLServer doesn't let you "export" the date in another format, anyway....
(So where do your skills lie exactly, Aarti? :-))

Forms 10g - Oracle 11g DB - Date Format Error - Urgent

Hi All,
We are migrating forms 6i to forms 10g.Data Base is 9i to 11g Migration.
In 10g forms pre-form trigger ,i have statement
:head.yr_st_dt := to_date(sc.get_property('ps.yr_st_dt'),'MON DD YYYY HH:MI:SSPM');
In 6i ,it is working fine,the :head.yr_st_dt=22-SEP-09.
In 1og forms with 11g Database, I am getting the below error
frm-40735:PRE-FORM trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-01843
It seems invalid month.
In 9i ,the NLS_DATE_FORMAT is DD-MON-RR.In 11g also same.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Shan

user642745: In the list of forum topics, the fourth topic down is this:
Before posting on this forum please read. Within that post there is a recommendation: "Also read the 10 Commandments on OTN forum posting." with this link: http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2007/03/02
Please read and follow step 6, "Get a name".
You now have 101 posts to your "user642745" name. When you write, it is difficult to distinguish between your post and the original poster's since you both have a similar number as your names.
user648338: It is clear you do not understand how Oracle handles dates. Depending on the NLS_DATE_FORMAT and NLS_LANG for the session you are running, you will get different results when you display your sc.get_property('ps.yr_st_dt') output.
The fact that you are even trying to execute the command:
select to_date('01-MAY-09','MON DD YYYY HH:MI:SSPM') from dual;shows that you do not understand standard date processing.
Internally, Oracle stores ALL dates in a 7-byte format that includes both date AND time.
The fact that you are getting results like 01-MAY-09 just means that your session is running with NLS_DATE_FORMAT set to DD-MON-YY. It does NOT mean that the date is stored that way.
Your entire problem is caused by the fact that the system on which your old Oracle 9i -- Forms 6i environment has its NLS_DATE_FORMAT (and possibly NLS_LANG) set differently than on your Oracle 11g -- Forms 10g environment.
If you can set your new environment the same as the old, your trouble will go away. Here is how you determine what the values of those environment variables are. Run this in SQL Plus:
select * from nls_session_parameters
where parameter in('NLS_LANGUAGE','NLS_TERRITORY',
'NLS_DATE_FORMAT','NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE');Be aware, though, that it is possible for your Forms environment to change the settings only for the Forms sessions, so what you get from SQL Plus may not be the same.

Oracle 8i database data recover problem

Hi hi,
I've recently encountered a problem on how to restoring data from old oracle folders to a new oracle 8i database.
Originally, my oracle 8i was installed in windows 2000 server on a harddisk (J:\oracle old) separated from that the OS (windows 2000 server) resided. Recently, the harddisk with the OS has been permanantly demaged and I've installed windows 2000 server on a new harddisk (C:\winnt), reinstalled the oracle database (J:\oracle).
However, is there any way to recover the data from an instance of the original database to the newly created database.
I will be grateful for any suggestion? Thanks a lot.

CREATE CONTROLFILE
Caution:
Oracle recommends that you perform a full backup of all files in the database before using this statement. For more information, see Oracle9i User-Managed Backup and Recovery Guide.
Purpose
Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement to re-create a control file in one of the following cases:
All copies of your existing control files have been lost through media failure.
You want to change the name of the database.
You want to change the maximum number of redo log file groups, redo log file members, archived redo log files, datafiles, or instances that can concurrently have the database mounted and open.
Note:
If it is necessary to use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, do not include in the DATAFILE clause any datafiles in temporary or read-only tablespaces. You can add these types of files to the database later.
An alternative to the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, which generates a SQL script in the trace file to re-create the controlfile. If your database contains any read-only or temporary tablespaces, that SQL script will also contain all the necessary SQL statements to add those files back into the database.

Oracle Error 1801 - "Date format is too large for internal format"

We have an application deployed under WebLogic and are using the Oracle JDBC drivers to talk to the DB. It appears that when under heavy load and trying to hit a stored procedure we get "Action:EnrollParticipant,Error
type:Application error,doing:writeEmpUpdate,dbcode:-1801,ssn:xxxxxxxxxx". The dbcode of 1801 is a "Date format is too large for internal format". Has anyone had this happen, or know what the solution might be?

ORACLE 7은 세기의 전환에 대해 'RR' 이라는 새로운 DATE FORMAT을 제공한다.
'RR' 은 DATE FORMAT의 마지막 2 DIGITS에 다른 세기에 대한 DATE값을 저장한다는
것을 제외하고는 'YY' FORMAT과 유사하다.
다음은 사용자가 지정하는 YEAR를 현재의 YEAR를 기반으로 하여,
'RR' FORMAT이 RETURN하는 DATE(세기)를 나타낸 것이다.
현재 YEAR의 지정된 YEAR의 'RR' FORMAT결과
마지막 2 DIGIT     마지막 2 DIGIT
0 - 49     0 - 49     현재 세기
50 - 99      0 - 49 다음 세기
0 - 49      50 - 99     이전 세기
50 - 99     50 - 99     현재 세기
예를 들면, 현재가 1993년이면, 50에서 90사이의 년도는 20세기에 포함되고,
0에서 49사이의 년도는 21세기에 포함된다. 마찬가지로 현재가 2001년이면
50에서 90사이의 년도는 20세기에 포함되고, 0에서 49사이의 년도는 21세기에
포함된다.
다음은 'RR'사용에 대한 예이다.
이와 같이 RR type을 사용하여 모든 application을 수정하기 곤란할 때에는
환경변수의 nls_date_format을 변경하여도 된다.
단, nls_date_format은 이후에 다른 사용자에 의해 변경되어질 수도 있으므로
application을 수정하는 것이 안전하다.

RR was introduced as a Y2K workaround for all those programs that didn't store the century. It has a fixed window - 50 to 99 defaults to twentieth century, 00 to 49 is twenty-first. YY on teh other hand just defaults to the current century. At least in 9.2 it does. I think in earlier version of the database it defaulted to 00 - hence many systems apparently have records that were created in the first century AD.

Hi Arsh,
The error message you receive i.e.
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
is an Oracle error.
The following document would be helpful:
ORA-01830:     date format picture ends before converting entire input string
Cause:     A valid date format picture included extra data. The first part of the format picture was converted into a valid date, but the remaining data was not required.
Action:     Check the specifications for date format pictures and correct the statement.

How to specify date format in a schema

I got the following error when try to write data to a flat file using file adapter. I think it's because my variable's date format doesn't match what's in the xml schema. I defined the xml schema by using 'Define Schema for Native Format', but I can not specify date format there. How do I know what format the system will read and how to define my own date format?

Presentation Variables Date Format

Hi,
I have a direct sql request that uses date presentation variables via a dashboard prompt:
Direct SQL:
select id, customer
from test
where date between @startdate and @enddate
If I enter startdate '31/03/2013 00:00:00' in the dashboard prompt selection:
OBIEE converts the above query into database date format:
'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
The database is in date format DD-MON-YYY, this results in error ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
can anyone help with where the date format should be set?
Thanks

There are different levels of users on this forum so you need to be more specific and provide examples to novice users....I want user to think on given hints and fix by himself instead of detailed with examples, this would help user to learn and think in new dimensions instead of depending on any one.
Sometimes I'll be responding more detail based on their registered date with OTN and # posts posted.
in your case my hint not fired!! so no full points ;)

Date format conversation in OBIEE

Hello guys
I am a quick question about how to stop OBIEE from using to_date conversation? The date format in the db is dd/month/yy, and when I run any report in OBIEE answer using Date columns, it will always convert the format to "dd/mm/YYYY". The sql generated will always have a to_date() in where clause..
Is there a way to not have OBIEE does that and just show the date with format as it is and drop the to_date conversion in SQL?
Thanks

I think you are getting confused here. Oracle's default date format is dd-mon-yyyy. So when you run a query like this:
DATE_COLUMN = '01-Nov-2009'
Oracle applies an IMPLICIT data type conversion to your date string and converts it to a date data type. Whether you allow Oracle to do the implicit conversion or do it explicitly like this DATE_COLUMN = To_date('01-Nov-2009', 'dd-mon-yyyy') should always result in the same query performance. When to TO_DATE functions affect query performance? When you apply the function over the DATE_COLUMN like this:
TO_DATE(DATE_COLUMN, 'dd-mon-yyyy') = '01-Nov-2009'
Why? Because indexes on DATE_COLUMN WILL NOT be used unless you have defined a function level index with a index column using the function: TO_DATE(DATE_COLUMN, 'dd-mon-yyyy'). My guess is that your DATE_COLUMN is not a date but a varchar2, therefore when you pass in To_date('01-Nov-2009', 'dd-mon-yyyy') Oracle does an IMPLICIT conversion of your DATE_COLUMN to DATE data type to match the data type of your where condition hence it is taking long to execute as no indexes are used. Can you confirm what is the exact data type of the DATE_COLUMN you are using to filter on? Do you have an index defined in that column? Can you confirm exactly how is the index is defined? Have you ran statistics on the table AND the indexes as well?

Screen display date format

ADDT does not change the display date format when I set it in th ADDT Control panel.
Control panel settings:
Database date format: yyyy-mm-dd
Screen date format: mm/dd/yyyy
Display output: yyyy-mm-dd
Is output does not change regardless of th esetting in control panel.
Please advise.
Simon

hello
ok here is another solution:
Go to the binding panel and select the Dynamic Text that retrieved from the recordset to display the date in your page.
- move your cruiser to the dead right end then you will found a bold down arrow beside the dynamic text click it you will found:
- dropdown menu >> click Developer toolbox >>> Date Formate
this will apply the settings you have made in the Control panel to this specified Dynamic data...
i did it and works very fine now...

Date format issue in oracle database

Hi,
Back end : Oracle 11.2.0.2.0
Front end : Forms 11g
In our application we are facing issue with TO_DATE('DD/MM/YYY') Date format conversion.
Example: TO_DATE(P_date,'DD/MM/YYYY') giving the result as 20-Dec-0009
In the above eg the Parameter P_date is coming as '20-dec-09' from the front end (forms 11g)
The Nls_date_format parameter at database level is set as 'DD-MON-RR'
Its working fine after changing the conversion as TO_DATE(P_date,'DD/MM/RRRR') .- If we do like this , we need to change in many places , so instead of doing this, is there other solution wrt database settings/Application settings where we can change and fix this issue
pls help us to solve the issue.
Regards.

sathish kWell the solution is right in front of you. As you say, your database environment is set to DD-MON-RR so your database is set to use 2 digit years (something most people moved away from with the millenium bug more than 10 years ago now). You can either change all your code to use RRRR as you've found, or change your database NLS setting to DD-MON-RRRR and change your front end application to pass you a date with 4 digit years so you get e.g. '20-dec-2009'.
So many people worked hard to resolve the millenium bug issues all those years ago, but still we have people, all these years later, who want to reintroduce the problem. So sad.

Date format in different databases like DB2, MS SQL, Oracle etc.

Hi,
Is there any standard date format, which works on any database like DB2, MS SQL Server, or Oracle 8i.
Right now I am using specific format for each database.
I am using the following syntax to retrieve the records on Jun 14, 2001.
MS SQL Server:
select * from tablename where
CONVERT(character(10),ReceiptDateTime, 120) >='2001-06-14'
and CONVERT(character(10), ReceiptDateTime , 120) <'2001-06-15'
Oracle:
select * from tablename where
TO_CHAR(ReceiptDateTime,'YYYY-MM-DD') >= '2001-06-14'
AND TO_CHAR(ReceiptDateTime,'YYYY-MM-DD') < '2001-06-15'
Is there any way we can generalize the date formt?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Naidu

Hi,
Perhaps any difference when you compare the outcomes of
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters;
SQL> select * from nls_session_parameters;on both databases?
