DATETIME To Format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm am/pm

I have a column in a database set as a DATETIME datatype, when I select it, I want to return it as:
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm am or pm.
How in the world can I do this? I looked at the function CONVERT() and it doesnt seem to have this format as a valid type. This is causing me to lose my hair, in MySQL it is just so much easier. .
At any rate, currently when I select the value without any convert() it returns as:
June 1 2007 12:23AM
Which is close, but I want it as:
06/01/2007 12:23AM
Thanks!

CONVERT(VARCHAR(25), GETDATE(), 22)

Convert the date of string to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.

I need convert the date of string format 'MM/dd/yyyy' to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.Since
I need to search values based on date where my database datetime is 'MM/dd/yyyy' format.

In my opinion you should re-consider the assumption that the date picker returns a string. Maybe it is able to return a
DateTime object directly instead of string. Then you will pass this value as a parameter of SQL query. This should work regardless of computer configuration.
Otherwise, follow the previous string-based approaches.

How to convert Date in varchar(50) format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM into YYYY-MM-DD format using MS SQLServer 2008 R2 ?

Hi,
I am getting the error "The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value."
when converting date in format Date in varchar(50) format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM into YYYY-MM-DD format using MS SQLServer 2008 R2.
Please note that the date in column is Date(varchar(50), null).
I used the following syntax:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), Date, 102) AS Day
FROM dbo.[RCap_2G MM/Operator]
WHERE (CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), Date, 102) > { fn NOW() } - 1)

As noted above, either use ISDATE or TRY_CONVERT with the correct conversion style number:
-- SQL Server 2012 code
DECLARE @Date varchar(50) = '10/23/2006 10:20';
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(DATE, @Date, 101) AS Day
-- 2006-10-23

How to convert the date format 'm/d/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM' to 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:M'

How can i convert a the date format 'm/d/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM' to 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM' in Oracle
I have a query
select UPPER(t.val_10) "TYPE", count(val_3) "Number of Transfers"
from table1 t
where t.is_active = 1
and t.val_4 = 'INBOUND'
and to_date(to_date(val_5,'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM'), 'DD/MM/YY') between to_date(to_date('01/08/2008 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'DD/MM/YY') and add_months(to_date(to_date('01/08/2008 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'DD/MM/YY'),1)
group by UPPER(t.val_10)
order by UPPER(t.val_10)
I get the error [ORA-01861: literal does not match format string which i think is because
val_5 has the values in the following format:
8/29/2008 6:31:10 PM
Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks in advance

first off, you've got to_date(to_date(...)) - NEVER do this - you're forcing an implicit to_char which can cause all sorts of problems!
What is the data type of your column val_5? If it's DATE then your query is simply:
select UPPER(t.val_10) "TYPE",
       count(val_3) "Number of Transfers"
from   table1 t
where t.is_active = 1
and    t.val_4 = 'INBOUND'
and    val_5 between to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') and add_months(to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') ,1)
group by UPPER(t.val_10)
order by UPPER(t.val_10)If it's a varchar2 (why, oh why, oh why, ...?!), then your query should be:
select UPPER(t.val_10) "TYPE",
       count(val_3) "Number of Transfers"
from   table1 t
where t.is_active = 1
and    t.val_4 = 'INBOUND'
and    to_date(val_5, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM') between to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') and add_months(to_date('01/08/2008','DD/MM/YYYY') ,1)
group by UPPER(t.val_10)
order by UPPER(t.val_10)Remember that dates in DATE format are stored in an internal Oracle format - in order for you to tell Oracle that your string is a date, you need to use to_date. When you want to retrieve a date, you need to use to_char to put it into the format you want to see it in.
Remember also that your nls_date_format defines the default format that you'll see a date, which is what is used in the implicit conversion that oracle does when you select a date:
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
Session altered.
SQL> select sysdate from dual;
SYSDATE
26/03/2009 11:01:53
1 row selected.
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='mm/dd/yy hh12:mi:ss AM';
Session altered.
SQL> select sysdate from dual;
SYSDATE
03/26/09 11:02:24 AM
1 row selected.It doesn't make sense to convert something that's already in a DATE format into a DATE format - in order to do that, oracle has to first change the date into a string, and it does that by using the nls_date_format parameter setting - if you're working with dates-in-strings that are in a different format, then all sorts of problems arise, as you have found out!

Trasnform current date to format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss AM/PM

Hi All,
How do I transform current date to format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss AM/PM?
I am able to get the format MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss by using the standard date function. How do I get AM or PM to end of MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss??
Thanx
Navin

Hi Navin,
How AM/PM is added? In the sample values given its in 24 hrs notation. Are u sure you want to add AM/PM to this notation? or U want to change this 24 hrs notation into 12 hrs and add AM/PM?
For converting into 12 hrs and appending AM/PM you can use this code:
input a:
int hr = Integer.parseInt(a.substring(11,13));
String appendVal = "AM";
if(hr > 12){
   hr = hr - 12;
   appendVal = "PM";
} else if(hr == 12){
   appendVal = "PM";
} else if(hr == 00){
   hr = hr + 12;
Sting finalVal = a.substring(0,11) + String.ValueOf(hr) + a.substring(13,a.length()) + appendVal;
return finalVal;

Converting Date Column to format MM/DD/YYYY in RPD

Hi all,
I have a requirement like converting a Date column to format MM/DD/YYYY in RPD. Any help as we are not supposed to use the BI Answers Data Fomat for showing this format.
Thankyou,
Edited by: [email protected] on May 10, 2010 11:49 PM

Hi Saichand,
I need the resulting column in DATE format only. The solution which you specified converts the datatype to character. Is there anyway to convert the format but not the datatype.

Validating a text field that has date in the format mm/dd/yyyy

How can I validate a text field such that it should be in the format mm/dd/yyyy and it should not be greater that a particular date.
for example the date I enter should not be greater than 01/01/2007

What you can do is use the SimpleDateFormat class to try and parse the text date into a Date object like this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date mydate = sdf.parse(textdate);if that fails than the date has the wrong format (you'll get a ParseException if I'm not mistaken).
The next step is to create a Date for 1/1/2007 and then do a date compare between your two dates. You can create a date yourself using the Calendar class.

URGENT !!!! Problem with Date format MM/DD/YYYY in oracle database to BW

Hi
I am wondering if somebody can help me urgently.
I have oracle database where date is of the format MM/DD/YYYY and I am loading data into BW. DATE data type
Date in oracle database: 3/30/2007
First when I used InfoObject ZDATE (with 0DATE) reference (DATS data type) data load failed saying that
'Value '30-MAR-0 ' of characteristic 0DATE is not a number with 000008 spaces'
Then I created ZDATE InfoObject as CHAR Type (Length 10) with PDATE Conversion Routine.
when I created datasource using DB Connect and checked the contents using 'Display Table Contents' after creating data source the data field distorted as
AR/-0/30-M
After data load. when I checked PSA
The Date records look same as AR/-0/30-M
In cube the field appeared as 30-MAR-0 (last digit of year disappearing)
In BEx report also it looks like 'AR/-0/30-M'
Can somebody help me as quickly as possible.
What should I do if i want to still use DATS data type for ZDATE?
should I change date format in database if so to what?
If I should use CHAR type with PDATE or any other routine can somebody give me the routine to have the date in the report exactly as it appears in database?
I also tried changing date format in user profile...settings. But still its the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Snrella,
You can solve this by converting the date format from oracle to the SAP internal date format using an ABAP routine in the transfer rules.
Assuming the oracle data field name is ZODATE then here's the ABAP you can use in the transfer rules. Create an ABAP routine transfer rule from ZODATE to your ZDATE infoobject, and then put this ABAP code there. (this code assumes that the format of the date from oracle is MM/DD/YYYY).
concatenate tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE+6(4) tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE(2) tran_structure-/BIC/ZODATE+3(2) into result.
Hope this helps.

Problem with date format "dd-MM-yyyy"

hi all,
i am using jdev 10.1.3.2
My application ADF Swing app.
in my database i have a table employee which contains "birthday".
my problem is that i must use date format"dd-MM-yyyy".
i added this format into "formatinfo.xml" file.
than i choose it in my EO.
i create a form which contains employees.
for example i have an employee with a birthday=25-10-1970
in my text field if user puts "1970-10-25"'which is not the best format) he will have a correct result "25-10-1970"
but if user puts "25-10-1970" he will have as result "21-02-0031" which is not the real value.
please help me.
thanks.
PS: i did some research before posting but i didn't find yet

Rouz,
Did you try what i said before?
* Open you EntityObject
* Expand the attribute tree
* Choose your DOB attribute
* Choose the Control hints pane on the right
* Choose Formater: Simple date format
* Choose Format mask dd-MM-yyyy
Run your application and try it.
This is how i change the format and it works perfectly.
I uses the correct format to show the date and it enables me to edit the date using the format mask dd-MM-yyyy
Edit: I just tried it myself. I can only reproduce it by removing my mask. Ergo, the application expects the default american format yyyy-MM-dd. By entering a date in the format dd-MM-yyyy the framework will convert it to yyyy-MM-dd and you'll end up with 0031-02-21.
CONCLUSION follow the steps i discribed above to set your mask and you'll be fine.

Problem in date formatting DD-MMM-YYYY

Hi,
I am writing a method in my Application:
//@@begin FormatDate()
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
     Date d;
     String OutDate = "";
     try {
          d = dateFormat.parse(InDate);
          dateFormat.applyPattern("DD-MMM-YYYY");
          OutDate = dateFormat.format(d);
     } catch (ParseException e) {
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning("Date Parse Exception");
     return (OutDate);
    //@@end
The OutDate that I get is in Format DD-MMM-YYYY but MMM is in digits instead of letters i.e. for 2007-07-31 it gives 31-007-2007 instead of 31-Jul-2007.
Any clues to get proper output??
I have tried applying format DD-MON-YYYY it too doesn't help.
Thanks

JHS-00114: Date $CURRENT_DATE$ must be of format MM-dd-yyyy

I am using jheadstart 10.1.2.2(build 32) in jdeveloper 10.1.2.1.0(build 1913).
I need to display current date for a date field as a default value when inserting new rows.
I set $CURRENT_DATE$ in default display value for that date field. The default value(todays date) is displayed only on a tabel(multi row insert is allowed) and on a form(single row insert) I get the above error JHS-00114: Date 2007-01-02 14:18:37.0 must be of format MM-dd-yyyy.
The problem with multirow insert on a table even though it displays default value is user has to fill in other mandatory fields in the row since jheadstart thinks that user already started entering new row.
It's ok for me if the default value is displayed properly on either table or form.
Thanks for any help.

OWB 10gR1 Convert Date format (mm-dd-yyyy) to (yyyy-mm-dd)

Hi All,
In OWB 10gR1, I have flatfiles with Date fields having the format (mm-dd-yyyy). I want to load this data into the Staging table in (yyyy-mm-dd) format. How could I do this conversion in my staging mapping ?
Using external tables is not an option.
An detailed answer will be extremely helpful.
Thanks community.

Wich is this field's datatype in database? Is it date or char? If you are going to store it as a date datatype, you don't have to worry about the date format.
Have you tried using the Expression Operator to perform the date string conversion in your mapping? Sorry about this lame drawing, but I think it will help you understand:
source_table ------------ALL_COLUMNS_EXCEPT_DATE_DATATYPE-------TARGET_TABLE
             |                                                 |
             +-------EXPR{TO_DATE(DATE_FIELD, 'DATE_FORMAT')}--+In this example, you'll use an expression operator to convert the date string in the format you want. Map other attributes directly to your target table (or other transformations you need to perform).
This is the generated script of a dummy plan I've built here:
OPTIONS ( ERRORS=50, BINDSIZE=50000, ROWS=200, READSIZE=65536)
