Cannot store time in DB Date fields

Time is truncated on all my dates field in database. When I expand the tables in Form Developer, Date Items are defined as Date(7).
Is this the cause of my problem?
Thanks for any info,
Valdek

IT DOES NOT GET TRUNCATED. HERE HOW I SIMULATED YOUR PROBLEM. CREATED A TABLE CALLED X WITH A FIELD Y AS DATE TYPE. CREATED A BLOCK BASED ON THE TABLE X. SET THE FORMAT MASK AS MM/DD/RRRR HH24:MI:SS . SET THE DEFAULT VALUE TO $$DBDATETIME$$. RUN THE FORM. CHANGED THE TIME. SAVED THE DATA. RETRIVED THE DATA . IT RETRIVES PERFECTLY WITH THE VALUE LIKE 08/22/2001 17:22:51. TO GET IT IN SQL YOU HAVE TO USE TO_CHAR LIKE
SELECT TO_CHAR(Y,'MM/DD/RRRR HH24:MI:SS') FROM X;
HOPE YOU GOT THE ANSWER.

Inserting Date and Time into a date field

Okay I am a bit of a Oracle newbie. I am trying to insert the following date and time into a date field and I don't know how to format the second part of the to_Date() function.
Date/Time: 5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM
Thanks,
Branden

I believe you would want
to_date( '5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM' )
Note that tahiti.oracle.com has all of Oracle's documentation, including the very useful SQL & PL/SQL reference manuals, available for free.

Deriving Time Characteristics from Date fields in ODS View

Hi,
I am creating ODS Views using HANA calculation views.
is there any direct approach to derive time characteristics like cal week, cal quarter, cal month, calmonth 2, fiscal year, cal year etc from date fields?
work around:
Deriving them in HANA view in calculated columns and mapping them to IO created with respective time characteristics as reference.
is there any standard and easy to use approach for this??
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ravi,
Insteod deriving them in the ODS view you can derive them in tha Calculation View in SAP HANA itself using Time Dimention concept.

Add time to a Date field

Hi,
I have a problem where in my Database I have a date & time field. when i query this field in mysql, it looks like this
2009-05-22 11:17:52.000
year 2009
month may
date 22nd
time 11:17 (52.000 seconds)
I want to be able to add an hour to this field in Crystal Reports and output it on a report. So the output would look something like:
2009-05-22 12:17:52.000
How would I go about doing this.
I tried doing a ToText() + '2009-05-22 12:17:52.000' but it just appends it to the end of the rigonal date.
thanks
J
Sorry..I forgot to mention the DateField is a Date/Time field.

Hi!
Try writing a formula using the following line. It works with MS SQL, sorry, I don't know if it will help in MYSQL.
local datetimevar temp := dateadd("h",1,)

Or you can use setString() and format the date yourself using SimpleDateFormat.

How to store and retrieve clob data fields

Hai al l,
How to sotre resumes of a Jobseekers in Oracle Data Base.Which version is enough(8i or 9i) and CLOB or BLOB is Preferable.
Now my requirement is to insert the all the Attachments into Oracle database. I have little bit knowledge on inserting image file into DB. Now I want to insert More than 1000000 resume Attachments (all are .doc or .rtf files).Can you suggest me on this with a sample program .I am really thankful to all of our Members support and Valuable doubt clarifications.
I am waiting for your valueble reply
thanks in advance
Kanchnaa
I am really thankful for your support and Valuable doubt clarifications.

CLOBs and BLOBs are physically stored just like any other Oracle data type, in the data files that make up the database, the .dbf files. They're not stored as seperate files that you can use outside of Oracle.
Oracle has a seperate special data type for binary objects stored outside the database, the BFILE data type. However, this type is read-only from a database connection (and therefore from JDBC); the files have to be placed on the Oracle server some other way and the BFILE object is created as a pointer to that external resource. I think built-in stored procedures are used to actually read the data from the binary object.
I've never used this datatype and can't tell you much more about it. See the documentation:

Time/Date Field Not Returned in PDF

I have created a very simple form in LiveCycle Designer 8.0. The form enables the user to input data into columns labeled "name," "change type," and "change date." I used the date/time object for the "change date" row fields.
When my testers (using Acrobat 7.0) email the saved form back to me, all of the fields are populated with the information they entered, except the "change date" column fields. I asked if they used the flyout calendar or typed in the date manually, and all used the calendar.
Is this a compatibility issue, or is there something I need to do to bind the chose value to the field when the form is saved?

The issue with the time portion of date field not displaying in Data tab of a Table window has been posted before - see date format while browsing data
I still get the problem in v1215 connecting to either 9i or 10g databases. Note that this problem does not happen in the SQL Worksheet results area, so simply querying the table data with a select doesn't test this.
As for Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V changing the date format to MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS when copying data out of the SQL Worksheet Results - I also still get this in v1215.

Date field problem in MS Access

Hi
I am doing a program in which the requirement is i am storing the system date and time in a date field with name logindate, now i want to compare with that date, by taking into a string variable but it is showing an error like "data type mismatch in criteria expression", but i didn't any problem like this in using MY Sql(taking the date into the string variable and comparing).
So i would like to know how can i compare the present sysdate with the stored date value in the databse(MS Access) for an emp id.
Date format i am storing in to the databse is "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", and while retriving i am getting as of my requirement but i am unable to compare only the date part(after parsing it), plz it is urgent reply asap
can u plz send me the code.
sasi.

If you say a database column has SQL DATE type, then you need to bind it to a java.sql.Date.
If your UI takes input as String, you have to convert it to a java.sql.Date first.
Best to use java.sql.PreparedStatement and bind Dates properly. If you do that, formatting doesn't matter (as it should not).

JHeadstart query operator between with date field

Hallo,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.1.0.2 and JHeadstart 11 Technical Release 1.
In my Application Definition Editor I use the Query Operator 'between' on a data-field. In my Application I can see a 'from' and 'to' date field.
Testcase:
In my table I have 3 dates: 1-1-2009, 17-1-2009 and 18-1-2009.
If I use:
Date from: 1-1-2009 and Date to: 18-1-2009 in my Application I expect to see only 2 rows (1-1-2009 and 17-1-2009). But I can see 3 rows.
So my question is: what does 'to' mean in the JHeadstart generator? Does it include the date you fill in with the 'to' field?

I can change the text in GeneratorText_nl.properties, but this does not completely solve my problem.
I use a DateTimeField in my Application and if I use 'Date to' in my search criteria it seems that the Time of my Date-field is being ignored!
Testcase:
'Date to' in searchcriteria = 13-10-2009 *12:10:00* also gives results with the same date but time greater than 12:10:00, for example 13-10-2009 *16:10:00*.

Store values of different data types into single database field

Hi,
Try like this:
data: txt1 type string,
      var1(1) type c,
      var2(1) type n,
      var3 like sy-datum,
      var4 like sy-uzeit.
parameters: a type c,
            b type n,
            c like sy-datum,
            d like sy-uzeit.
concatenate a b c d into txt1.
write txt1.
var1 = txt1+0(1).
var2 = txt1+1(1).
var3 = txt1+2(8).
var4 = txt1+8(8).
write: / var1,
       / var2,
       / var3,
       / var4.

Date field in create record has time =00

I have set
PLSQL_DATE_FORMAT, 'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI'
BUILTIN_DATE_FORMAT, 'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI'
I do not want to change defaults on App Server.
Then I have date & time in 2 fields for ease of changing.
After User Changes 03:20 to say 04:15, I want to create the record by contacenating the new time to current date and store record.
As Add date is not allowed.
So I have displays of global.mydate which shows
correctly as MM/DD/YY 04:15 etc, so the concat is working ok.
But when I equate my block field to this field
in say :Block.var := to_char(:global.mydate,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI')
My created filed var still has 00 in the date and time field.

If :global.mydate is a text string and :Block.var is a datetime datatype, then your command should be:
:Block.var := to_date(:global.mydate,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI')
Note that by using only a 2-character YY for year, your century will always be '20'.

Viewing and Removing the Time part of the Date field

Hi,
I have Date field in a table.
but in SQL plus when I do
select date from table
this gives me only the Date values and not the timestamps in the date.
I believe Oracle stores 'Date' and 'Time' in fields with Data Type 'Date'.
How do I print the timestamps also in the SQL query?
Moreover, if I have to extract the date field, reset the timestamp to 00:00:00, and store back the date field (with 00 time), how do I do that?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If you want to retry date and time you can:
SELECT TO_CHAR(DATE,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') FROM TABLE;
If you want truncate time when inserting in a table simply use TRUNC function
INSERT INTO TABLE (DATE) VALUES (TRUNC(YOUR_DATE));
To extract and insert with time 00:00:00
INSERT INTO TABLE1 (SELECT TRUNC(DATE) FROM TABLE2);
I hope this help you.

Problem with updating Time component of an Oracle Date field in ALBPM

Hi.
I'm new to ALBPM and am experiencing the following problem I hope someone can take the time to help out with.
I'm using a Date and Time Picker element in a Form to enter the date and time information. Within ALBPM the date and time representation appears correct as it prints out what I've entered. The logMessage displays this information in the form "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:mm:ss+TimezoneOffset". The BPM Object that stores this value is referencing an Oracle table that has an equivalent Date field. My problem is that it appears to only update the Date component.
I've also tried using the native Time variable type within ALBPM be adding an variable of type Time to the BPM Object and setting the result Database object equal to this Time variable with the same result. The Time variable was declared with Timestamp precision (take this to mean both Date and Time components).
Has anyone come across this problem? I'm using ALBPM Studio 6.0 M3 as my release.
Thanks.

I must have deselected the "Use Timestamp for Date columns" in the Advanced tab within the External Resource definition for my database at some point in time. Enabling this option fixed my problem - silly me.
