I have some values in field1 like
20110820,
20110821,
20110822
which is a number datatype and
which is something like yyyymmdd.
I want to convert it to date format as 'dd/mm/yyyy'.
I have to use in select query something like if (A.field1=0, 01/01/2000, A.field1).
How can i achieve this ?

to_Date(substr(date1,7,2)||'/'||substr(date1,5,2)||'/'||substr(date1,1,4),'dd/mm/yyyy')

How to convert from ifs date format to sql based dates

I want to write a sql query using dates, to search an ifs
database. Ifs stores dates as numbers created using the
java.util.Date class. These dates are accurate to seconds.
PLSQL uses a different format.
What I need is a PLSQL function that converts PLSQL date format
to and from the java.util.date format.
This is an example of what I would like to do.
String classname = "DOCUMENT";
String whereclause = "CREATEDATE > theNeededFuction(to_date('01-
Jan-2001', 'DD-Mon-YYYY'),'j')";
Selector mySelector = new Selector(login.getSession());
mySelector.setSearchClassname(classname);
mySelector.setSearchSelection(whereclause);
I do realize that I could simply convert the date in java, but
in the long run, I want to use the oracle tools that support
busness day calulations.
-Mitch

Hi Mitch - our ViewSpecification functionality automatically
includes an Oracle Date column, which is derived from the java
date values we store. These views are the supported way of
performing read-only operations against an iFS instance.
For yor reference, the Oracle date column is derived using the
following SQL operation (e.g. for createdate):
to_date('01-JAN-1970', 'DD-MON-YYYY') + (createdate/86400000)

How to Convert Normal XML date or Oracle date to JDE Julian Date

We can do a simple mathematical step in XSLT :
'xpath20:format-dateTime(xpath20:current-dateTime(),"[Y0001][d001]") - 1900000'
Or in SQL :
Select to_char(sysdate,'YYYYDDD')-1900000 from dual;
Julian Date is: Year in 4 digits, YYYY, and Number of days in 3 digits, DDD
JDE Julian Date is Julian Date -1900000 (ie it counts Julian date from 1900 Year)
"[Y0001][d001]” returns date in Year in 4 digit + number of days in 3 digits. This is the Julian date.
Subtracting 1900000 ( ie YR ’1900’ & DAY ‘000’) gives the required JDE Julian Date.

Hi,
getTime() (in Date) will give you that date in milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT.
To my knowledege, this is the same as Unix date format.

Convert varchar2 to date in oracle

how to covert varchar2 (30) to date fromat
example '01/01/2007' to 01/01/2007
thanks in advance
Reddy

I want to insert into my new table the data in the
form DD-MON-RRRRIf your new table has the data type as DATE then you don't insert dates in any particular format, you just insert values that are DATE datatypes.
The format is only important when you view the data.
e.g.
SQL> create table dt (mydate DATE);
Table created.
SQL> insert into dt values (to_date('01/01/2008','DD/MM/YYYY'));
1 row created.
SQL> insert into dt values (to_date('01-FEB-2008','DD-MON-YYYY'));
1 row created.
SQL> insert into dt values (to_date('20080402','YYYYMMDD'));
1 row created.
SQL> select * from dt;
MYDATE
01/01/2008 00:00:00
01/02/2008 00:00:00
02/04/2008 00:00:00
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='DD-MON-YYYY';
Session altered.
SQL> select * from dt;
MYDATE
01-JAN-2008
01-FEB-2008
02-APR-2008
SQL>Edit:
Sorry, forgot to say...
This just demonstrates that any format of string can be inserted into a date column if the format string is specified correctly and it also demonstrates that what is stored is just a date, the format of which is determined by the settings of the tool you are using to retrieve the data (unless you specify e.g. to_char(date_column, 'DD-MON-YYYY') in the SELECT statement to convert it to a string again manually)

Convert number to date

Hello.
I'm new at this stuff and need a hand with a function.
I have a Customer table that has a Date set as a number.
When I drag this field on to the report I get the following: 20,071,101.00
Which makes complete sense since it is a number field.
How do I convert this field to a date format?
I tried the following:
cDateTime ({CUS.DATESTART})
Unfortunately, I'm doing something wrong as it is providing me with the following error:
Error: Dates must be between year 1 and year 9999
What am I doing wrong?
Perhaps there is a much easier method then trying to create function...
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Stephane

Hello Raghavendra.
Your solution has provided my answer.
I will provide my final solution for others to view:
Date(tonumber(left(totext({CUS.DATESTART},'##'),4)),tonumber(mid(totext({CUS.DATESTART},'##'),5,2)),tonumber(right(totext({CUS.DATESTART},'##'),2)))
Notice how I substituted the actual date with the field(number).
Here is reported field: 01/11/2007
Note: my field value at this point was equal to CUS.DATESTART = 20,071,101.00
Thank you very much for your quick assistance.

Convert a Number to time in Oracle

Hi,
In a oracle database table i have a colum that gives the value from 0 to 2359. I want to convert Number to time in Oracle. Any i dea on the query for this.
I have tried
SELECT TO_CHAR('2342','HH:MI') "Time"
FROM dual;
but it is not functioning.
Thanks

The Number that i want to convert to Time is of the
columns of the same table and depending on its value,
i want to display it as Time.
Thanks,Well it sounds like you certainly have no clue what you are doing whatsoever. I predict a bright future for you.
Here's some advice. If the column should have a date or time in it then use a date or time type column. If you are creating a variable data type column then ASAP get a book on SQL before you fuck things up worse then you have.
There is no great mystery here. There is the right way (as suggested by WorkForFood) and there is the wrong way (whatever you are doing). So do what WorkForFood told you or just go away because nobody cares to help make a disaster.

Insert data from oracle to sql server

we have running R12.1.1 .
our company wants to deploy some CRM Application with sql server database. Continuously we have to insert data ( some fields from some tables of Order Management module ) from ORACLE -----------> SQL Server
My Questions are :
1. What are possible methods to insert data from ORACLE -----------------> SQL Server ?
2. What are pros and cons of each method ?
3. What is performance over load of each method ?
PLease share your valuable knowledge / ideas / suggestions

What is a maximal latency for data changed in Oracle come into MS SQL?
this data will be updated in CRM after 24 hours.Does it mean that data replicated from Oracle will be updated in MS SQL and should be replicated back?
i want to know more details about these APIs etc and middle layer.what API? In MS SQL you can use Linked server and write SQLs that select from Oracle tables via that linked server and insert/update/delete into MS SQL. You can organize these SQLs into T-SQL procedures and run them in jobs.
Also you can use MS SQL replication, snapshot or transactional, which is ugly because it places triggers on Oracle tables. I doubt that this will be approved by app vendor.
Also you can use Oracle Streams via Transparent Gateway for MS SQL, which will be quite heavy solution.
Also, if real-time replication is needed, you can use "middle layer" Oracle Golden Gate, which may be quite pricy for 30 tables.
Also, if real-time replication is needed, you can use 3-rd party middle layer like DataCurrents or others.

Thanks for suggestion, now I got different error
Database error text........: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found
where a numeric was expected#"
When I debugg I have some unxpected field values in internal table itab:
DAT      USNAM        NOVI
X2009032|0NIHADOM     |
X2009032|0NIHADOM     |
But, it should be like this
DAT      USNAM        NOVI
20090320|NIHADOM     |X
20090320|NIHADOM     |X
Any idea why I got indicator X in DAT field but it should be in NOVI. Is that why I got above error?

Extraction of data from Planning and load it into Oracle/SQL server (RDBMS)

Hi All,
ODI can extract data from Oracle/SQL server RDBMS and load it into Hyperion planning, but I wanted to know if it is possible to extract data from Hyperion Planning through ODI and load it into Oracle or SQL server RDMBS i.e the other way round.
Kindly let me know if that is possible or not,If yes then please let me know what is the exact process to achieve this through ODI.
Thanks & Regrads,
Gurpreet

Yes this can be done. Remember that Planning data is actually stored in Essbase so the Knowledge module you will need to use is LKM Essbase to SQL (DATA)
