Converting date to String

I am querying the database to return a date column. I want to map it to a String but format it as "Jan-31-3010'. am running into issue with this
NAy suggestiions.

Dan.
I am getting the date returned from database. that is what is messing up
so here is what i do
for each row in executeQuery(DynamicSQL, sentence : sqlString, implname :"DATABASE_URL", inParameters : null) do
          if row["start_date"] != null then
               startDate as Time = Time(row["start_date"])
               sDate as String = formatDate(DateUtil, argDate : startDate)
          end
end
I send the startDate which is of Type Time to a user defined method formatDate
code for format date is
returnFmtDate as String
if (argDate != null) then
     sfm as SimpleDateFormat = SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd")
     returnFmtDate = format(argDate, formatter : sfm)
end
some reason the argDate parameter has the value 2010-05-20 00:00:00-07:00 but the returnFmtDate is being set to "2010-00-20"

How to convert Date to String

Hi All,
I have a dimension member in my classic plannnig application whose datatype is Date,
Now i want to use that member inside the following function:
@TODATE(<date format goes here> , <date string goes here>);
e.g
@TODATE("mm-dd-yyyy" , "Dimension Member Name");
Now the second parameter to this function is of string type, whereas the data type of my member is "Date", so is there any way to convert this date to string?
Notes:-
I am using the above script inside the member formula.
I run the code with some static value e.g.
@TODATE("mm-dd-yyyy" , "01-12-2011"); and it works quite fine so i am pretty much sure that issue is related to incompatible data types.

Have a look at the following post it should give you an idea - Re: @DatePart formula produces constant result
Cheers

Convert Date to String but maintain a MM/DD/YY format

I have converted a date field to a string without a problem. However, when I use it in a report, the entire date/time from the original date field prints. How do I get only the MM/DD/YY format to print once I've converted it to a string or how do I convert the field to a MM/DD/YY format before converting it to a string?

THis should give you what you are looking for...
ToText({TableName.DateField}, "MM/dd/yy")
note: the MM instead of mm... "M" is for months, "m" is for minutes...

Converting dates from string

Hi, I have the following query:
select * from table1 a where completed between to_date('10 May 2013 11:31', 'DD Mon YYYY hh:mi') and to_date('10 May 2012 11:31', 'DD Mon YYYY hh:mi');
I see records in the database between those dates in that column but the query is not returning anything.. any ideas why my formating is not picking them up?
Thanks,

Thanks,you need to REVERSE the order on the BETWEEN
between to_date('10 May 2012 11:31', 'DD Mon YYYY hh:mi')
AND to_date('10 May 2013 11:31', 'DD Mon YYYY hh:mi') ;

Hi,
Even if I'm using JavaEmbeddedActivity also i'm getting an error. Please have alook at the below code once
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class ConvertDateToStringExample {
public static void main(String args[]){
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-nn-yyyy hh:mm:ss");
//to convert Date to String, use format method of SimpleDateFormat class.
String strDate = dateFormat.format(getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/client:process/client:Date'));
System.out.println("Date converted to String: " + strDate);
Error Message:
Error(21,33): Failed to compile bpel generated classes.
failure to compile the generated BPEL classes for BPEL process "DateProcess" of composite "default/DateProcess!1.0"
The class path setting is incorrect.
Ensure that the class path is set correctly. If this happens on the server side, verify that the custom classes or jars which this BPEL process is depending on are deployed correctly. Also verify that the run time is using the same release/version.
Well it's not at all allowing me to insert the format while passing the input arguments.

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string

Hi experts,
I'm trying running a query in Microsoft Query but it gives the following error message:

ORDER BY T1.CardCode, T0.DueDate, T0.Ref1

Hi,
The above error appears due to date format is differnt from SAP query generator and SQL server.
So you need convert all date in above query to SQL server required format.
Try to convert..let me know if not possible.

Convert a date in String format to a Date

Hi,
How can I convert a date in String format to a Date object?
I have tried:
import java.text.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.sql.*;
public class casa {
public static Connection con = null;
public static Statement s = null;
public static String sql = null;
public static String mydate = "01.01.2001";
/** Creates a new instance of casa */
public casa() {
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
try {
DateFormat shortFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
Date date = shortFormat.parse(mydate);
//Open Database
con = getConnection();
s = con.createStatement();
sql = "select date1 from table1 where date1 <= '"+date+"'";
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
String aba = rs.getString("datum");
System.out.println("New Datum = "+aba);
} catch (Exception ex ) {
ex.printStackTrace();
closeConnection(s, con);
//Connection
private static Connection getConnection() {
Connection con = null;
String user ="aouzi";
String passe ="aouzi";
String url = "jdbc:db2:EjbTest";
try {
//Datenbanktreiber laden
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
//Verbindung herstellen
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,passe);
}catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
} catch(SQLException e){}
return con;
//close Connection
private static void closeConnection(Statement s, Connection con) {
try {
s.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {}
try {
con.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {}
I'm getting the following errors:
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/NT] SQL0180N
The syntax of the representation of a date/time of day value as character sequence is false. .SQLSTATE=22007

I'm pretty sure it won't understand what date.toString() returns. If you know what format the database understands, you do it like this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy"); // e.g. 18-Apr-02
String datestring = sdf.parse(date);
and use that instead of date in your sql string. Some databases understands it if you do
"to_date('18-Apr-02')"
so you could include that in your sql string as well..
You could also try to make it a java.sql.Date and hope your jdbc driver knows how to convert it to a string that the database understands if you don't know the format:
con = getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("select date1 from table1 where date1 <= ?");
ps.setDate(new java.sql.Date(date.getTime()));
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);

You can search the forums for that error message and find previous discussions - they all boil down to the same problem. Somewhere in your query that calls this function, the code invoked implicitly converts from string to date/datetime. In general,
this works in any version of sql server if the runtime settings are correct for the format of the string data. The fact that it works in one server and not in another server suggests that the query executes with different settings - and I'll assume for
the moment that the format of the data involved in this conversion is consistent within the database/resultset and consistent between the 2 servers.
I suggest you read Tibor's guide to the datetime datatype (via the link to his site below) first - then go find the actual code that performs this conversion. It may not be in the function you posted, since that function also executes other functions.
You also did not post the query that calls this function, so this function may not, in fact, be the source of the problem at all.

How to convert BLOB data into string format.

Hi,
I have problem while converting blob data into string format.
for example,
Select dbms_lob.substr(c.shape.Get_wkb(),4000,1) from geotable c
will get me the first 4000 byte of BLOB .
When i using SQL as i did above,the max length is 4000, but i can get 32K using plsql as below:
declare
my_var CLOB;
BEGIN
for x in (Select X from T)
loop
my_var:=dbms_lob.substr(x.X,32767,1)
end loop
return my_var;
I comfortably convert 32k BLOB field to string.
My problem is how to convert blob to varchar having size more than 32K.
Please help me to resolve this,
Thanx in advance for the support,
Nilesh

Nilesh,
. . . .The result of get_wkb() will not be human readable (all values are encoded into some binary format).
SELECT utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(tbl.geometry.get_wkt()) from FeatureTable tbl;
-- resulting string:

ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string at OCI call OCIStmtFetch

Hi all,
We are trying to create a BIP Data Model based on an Answer, but after selecting report, it hangs when I try to Apply to create a query based on Oracle BI. When I try to open the query in aswers, going to results tab I'm getting this error (OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2):
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string at OCI call OCIStmtFetch
I suppose that BIP data model is not able to create it because of this error. But this answer is working fine inside dashboards, etc. It only does not work when editing it. Query is doing something like this: "USING "- Collection Attributes"."Due Date" >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -30, CAST ('01/04/2009' AS DATE))"
Any ideas?

Solved watching date format in generated SQL and changing default date format in presentation variables default values inside criteria according to SQL format.
