Date format in 8i Lite ver. 4.0.0.2

Hello,
whenever I set the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to 'dd.mm.yyyy' I get the following error when selecting SYSDATE in SQL-Plus or opening a table containing dates in Navigator.
Error:
OCA-30023: error fetching result set
[POL-2416] invalid date/time format
Can anyone help with this ?
thanks in advance
Joachim Helf

Hi,
the sysdate format is set by the NLS_DATE_FORMAT on your machine.
if the database is on your machine you can set the NLS_DATE_FORMAT by going to DOS prompt and typing set NLS_DATE_FORMAT <format> and then use sqlplus.
sqlplus is a client utility - it behaves upon user enviroment.
if you are using windows based operating system just use regedit and add
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/NLS_DATE_FORMAT (value:DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS)
if the database is on a server and you are the client just remove NLS_DATE_FORMAT from user settings and connect to sqlplus.

  • Big Data Lite ver 3.0 cannot launch movieplex demo

    I downloaded the big data lite ver 3.0 virtual machine. Successfully imported -->  .ova and login using oracle into linux KDE.

  • How to change Data Format

    I'm using Sql Developer vers. 1.1.2. for Oracle 8.1.7 and I can't change Data Format. Even if first I run "alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';" and after I run "select data_field from table;" in the SQL Worksheet, it goes on reporting the field in format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS". It seems to me as if the "alter session" doesn't work.
    I've got a problem with decimal separator too. I mean when I run "select salary_field from table;" and the item is for example 2300,32 the report gets null column even if I've set Decimal Separator to "," from Tools>NSL Parameters>Decimal Separator.
    I need help.
    Thanks in advance
    Marco

    Marco,
    It isn't really a great help, as you need to access 8.1.7, but the current version doesn't have this problem - it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to format the date, regardless of the NLS preferences.
    I have vague memories (1.1.2 has largely faded from my memory) that when they first introduced the NLS preferences that they took precedence over the DB NLS settings (ie date formatted in SQL Developer based on NLS preferences).
    On the decimal separator, I have other vague memories of problems if you didn't set both the Decimal and Group separator, although a quick search on the forum didn't highlight something that seemed the same as your problem. After logging on (ie with the NLS preferences as the DB NLS settings), what do you get if you the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view? This should have two characters - the first one being the decimal separator and the second being the group separator.

  • Timestamp/Date format error with Java 1.6

    I'm getting this error trying to getObjects from a ResultSet query for an Oracle Lite 10G table that has colums of the TIMESTAMP or DATE type. This works fine under java 1.5. Java 1.6 seems to have broken TIMESTAMP/DATE compatibility with Oracle Lite. Are there any plans to make 10G compatible with Java 1.6? We would like to port our application from Java 1.5 to 1.6, but this is an obstacle. I suppose one work-around would be to use TO_CHAR on all the DATE fields and convert them back to java Dates programatically, but that would be a hassle.
    Update: I changed the column types of the table from TIMESTAMP to DATE. The same exception occurs when calling POLJDBCResultSet.getObject() on the DATE columns. Again, this works fine under Java 1.5, but not 1.6.
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss[.fffffffff]
         at java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(Timestamp.java:194)
         at oracle.lite.poljdbc.LiteEmbResultSet.jniGetDataTimestamp(Native Method)
         at oracle.lite.poljdbc.LiteEmbResultSet.getVal(Unknown Source)
         at oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCResultSet.getTimestamp(Unknown Source)
         at oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCResultSet.getObject(Unknown Source)
         at oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCResultSet.getObject(Unknown Source)

    I just found a pretty easy java work-around for this that doesn't involve changing the table column types or the SQL:
    Check the column type from the ResultSetMetaData before calling ResultSet.getObject(). If the type is DATE, TIMESTAMP or TIME, call ResultSet.getString() which doesn't throw an exception. Then convert the string to a java.util.Date using java.text.SimpleDateFormat. That can then be used to instantiate a Timestamp.
    This seems to work.

  • Problem with Date formatting

    Hi Tim,
    I am facing some issues with formatting the date using XMLP. The following is the sample XML data file i am using:
    <LIST_G_HEADER>
    <G_HEADER>
    <QUOTE_HEADER_ID>1455</QUOTE_HEADER_ID>
    <QUOTE_NUMBER>2027</QUOTE_NUMBER>
    <QUOTE_VERSION>1</QUOTE_VERSION>
    <QUOTE_NAME>Test GM Report - Rabindra</QUOTE_NAME>
    <SOURCE_NAME>Fletcher, MR. Paul</SOURCE_NAME>
    <QUOTE_DATE>27-OCT-2005</QUOTE_DATE>
    <CURRENCY_CODE>GBP</CURRENCY_CODE>
    </G_HEADER>
    </LIST_G_HEADER>
    The formatting i use for my date field i.e <QUOTE_DATE>, ends up either with NO formatting or giving me an error "[010906_114656657][][ERROR] Invalid XSD string: 27-OCT-2005 (XMLP Template Viewer)". The default formatting available with the form field dialog box (MS-Word) feature also doesn't work.
    I have the following formatting for this field in the form field:
    <?format-date:QUOTE_DATE; 'MEDIUM' ?>
    When i read the user guide, it reads that the date should be in the canonical format i.e: YYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
    However i am not getting the date from the base table's in this format. Is the error happening due to incorrect format or is there some other reason behind this? Please let me know, how can i overcome this issue.
    Thx,
    Nitin

    As i mentioned in another thread
    substring function and date format
    Please use this standards
    <?xdofx:expression?>
    for extended SQL functions or
    <?xdoxslt:expression?>
    for extended XSL functions.
    Use like

    >
    Then you are not looking for a date, You are looking for a string.
    The date format that gets displayed is dependent on nls_date_format parameter.
    If you want a string in the format you asked, then,
    SELECT TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"-06:00"'), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MM:SS')
      FROM DUAL;Or if you just want the date to be displayed like that then
    Do,
    SQL> alter session set nls_date_Format="YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS";
    Session altered.
    SQL> SELECT TO_DATE ( '2008-11-26T11:07:38-06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"-06:00"') dt

  • How to convert the numeric to date format

    HI ,
         We have created the date KF and selected the data type as DEC-numeric or counter and add in the cube.
          the data for this fields in the cube are in numerics like  734.504, but when we execute the report it is converted in to date format dd.mm.yyyy.
                    My issue how this conversion is working in the backend while executing the report.
    Regards.
    venkata

    Conversion is happening because of the type you had selected for the KF while creating it.
    Check the type of the Key figure?
    While creating the KF you might have selected the Type as Date and Data type -DEC : Counter or amount field with comma and sign.
    that's the reason why you are getting the output values displayed in dd.mm.yyyy format.
    For amount field - create a KF with type "AMOUNT" and unit -0currency or specify the currency of that region.

    Hi,
    You can get it from "User" or "Shop" business object.
    Try to get User or Shop Business Object as shown below.
    BusinessObjectManager bom = (BusinessObjectManager) userSessionData.getBOM(BusinessObjectManager.ISACORE_BOM);
    User user = bom.getUser();
    char decimalNotation = user.getDecimalPointFormat().getGroupingSeparator();

  • How to change default Date format in BO 6.5 SP4

    A problem with date display has been reported to me by one of our users -  in BO 6.5 - since installing SP4.
    The default date format is now MM/DD/YYYY
    I have tried to recreate this on my PC and have been able to confirm that this is the case.
    Most of our PC's will have two versions of Business Objects on them - for 5.1.6 and for 6.5 - that is the case for my PC.
    If I create a new BO document based on a spreadsheet with three entries in the spreadsheet as follows:-
    20/01/2009    20-Jan-2009  20th January 2009
    This displays in BO 6.5 as
    1/20/2009   1/20/2009    20th January 2009
    My PC regional setting is UK and the time displays DD/MM/YYYY
    Can you advise how to correct this problem please.

    Hi Sebastien
    Thank you for your response.
    I haven't checked Dimension in universe because this is happening even when datasource is an Excel spreadheet - as per details in previous post.
    I have looked for *.sbo files and found one for ODBC.sbo in the Version 5 folders on PC - with date format details in it which I've changed - that doesn't make any difference.
    Any other ideas?

    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.
