Iam doing like this TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(L_BATCH_DATE,'MM'))='10'
and it says 'not a valid month'.any ideas? and how to get that value?
Cheers

Hi,
Is this are you trying.
to_date --> we will use this function to inform oracle the date is in character mode with this format
to_date('2013/10/03','yyyy/dd/mm')
select to_char(to_date('2013/10/03','yyyy/dd/mm'),'mm') from dual;

Extract month part from date

hi,
I have a query in Informix which get the month part of a date. Please help me in converting the same to oracle.
Informix query
select month(col1 - today) from tab1;
col1 is a date field, today will yield the current date and month function will get the month of the date.
In oracle, when we subtract two dates we will get a number value, how to convert that back to date and extract the month part.
Help me?????

If your looking for the number of months between two dates:
SQL> select months_between(sysdate, trunc(sysdate,'yyyy')) from dual ;
MONTHS_BETWEEN(SYSDATE,TRUNC(SYSDATE,'YYYY'))
6.06223081
Just replace my usage of sysdate (etc) with the dates your using...

Extract Month & Year From Date

Hi All,
I have a key figure quantity and i want the data on date,for the month and for the year.
i create the variables for the date,for the month(ie from date to date) and for the year(ie, from date to date) seperatly that means i have three input variables which may sometimes create confusion.
My problem is that I want to enter only date and the variable itself calculate the month and year from the date so that it returns the data as desired above.
for eg. : Now i to enter date : 3/14/2009
 enter MTD (FROM/TO) : 3/01/2009 - 3/14/2009
 enter YTD (FROM/TO) : 4/01/2008 - 3/14/2009
I want to enter only date : 3/14/2009
and the variable itself extract the month and year till date.
and also the same variable calculates number of days so that need not to take the formula variable of date difference to calculate the average qty.

Hi,
1. Create User Entry Variable on 0CALDAY : Name = ZCDAY.
2. Craete a Customer Exit Variable on 0CALDAY: Name = ZMTD.
3. Craete a Customer Exit Variable on 0CALDAY: Name = YMTD.
Properties of Customer Exit Variables.
Variable reporesents = Single
Variable Entry = Mandatory
Processing By = Customer Exit.
Character = Calender Day
Here I'm thinking that ZKF is your key figure.
In columns you create two selections one is for MTD and other is for YTD.
In MTD selection, drag and drop ZKF and Drag and Drop 0CALDAY and then Right Clcik and Restrict-->
Selection = Value Range. (In Between) and restrict with the follwoing Variables
[]ZMTD; ZCDAY.
In YTD selection, drag and drop ZKF and Drag and Drop 0CALDAY and then Right Clcik and Restrict-->
Selection = Value Range. (In Between) and restrict with the follwoing Variables
[]YTD; ZCDAY.

How to get a time part from Date datatype

Hi,
I would like to know how to extract the timestamp alone from DATE datatype? If my input is '27-SEP-2011 23:59:00' I need the output as 23:59:00. I am surprised to see that there are no in-built functions for this or may be I am wrong. Basically I need to remove the date part from DATE data type and get the time.Please assist.
-Thanks

Hi,
I would like to know how to extract the timestamp alone from DATE datatype? Be careful! In Oracle, TIMESTAMP means a datatype, similar to but distinct from DATE. You'll avoid confusion if you don't use the word "timestamp" to mean anything else.
There is a built-in function, TO_CHAR:
TO_CHAR (dt_col, 'HH24:MI:SS')Depending on how you plan to use the time, TRUNC is another handy built-in function:
dt_col - TRUNC (dt_col)is a NUMBER (not less than 0, but less than 1) which is suitable for many tasks, such as finding the average time.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

You use a partitioned outer join to fill in the gaps in your sparse data (see doc example [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/statements_10002.htm#i2177515]here.

Parsing VARCHAR to DATE where the VARCHAR column has multiple format

Hello,
I'm a little stumped here so I figured I'd try posting here.
I have an application where I can not alter the code. This application has a form with a calender conrol on it that allows the user to select a date. This form is internationalized so date formats vary based on the country the user is coming form (mm/dd/yyyy, dd-Mon-yyyy, dd.mm.yyyy, etc). The application saved the string of the date as the calender control returns to the form, it does not save the value as a date value.
I need to preform a query that can do some cacluations off of this date. When there is only one date format returned in the query, there is no problem
CASE WHEN TO_DATE(d3.data,'Mon/dd/yyyy')-NVL(trunc(i3.end_date),trunc(SYSDATE)) < 0 THEN calc_business_days(TO_DATE(d3.data,'Mon/dd/yyyy'),NVL(trunc(i3.end_date),trunc(SYSDATE)))
WHEN TO_DATE(d3.data,'Mon/dd/yyyy')-NVL(trunc(i3.end_date),trunc(SYSDATE)) > 0 THEN 0-(calc_business_days( NVL(trunc(i3.end_date),trunc(SYSDATE)) ,TO_DATE(d3.data,'Mon/dd/yyyy')))
ELSE 0 END
However, this errors when there are multiple formats in the varchar column for the same query. Can anyone provide any guidance on how to handle this? I am using Oracle 10g.
Thanks

The simplest option is generally to create a new function that does the conversion and sets up a hierarchy of date formats. Obviously, there may be some data loss here-- '01/02/03' is a valid string in the format mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yy, and yy/mm/dd but it means different things in each.
Something like
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_to_date( p_in_string VARCHAR2 )
RETURN date
IS
BEGIN
RETURN to_date( p_in_string, 'MM/DD/YYYY' );
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
 BEGIN
 RETURN to_date( p_in_string, 'DD-MON-YYYY' );
 EXCEPTION
 WHEN others THEN
 BEGIN
 RETURN to_date( p_in_string, 'DD.MM.YYYY' );
 EXCEPTION
 WHEN others THEN
 RETURN NULL;
 END;
 END;
END;

How to validate Date value in Text Column

Hi All,
I have entered DATE value in text item field(Char Data Type), Now how can i validate, the entered date is valid or not.
Thanks in advance.

Well, the easiest way would be to make the item of datatype DATE.
Another possibility is to try to convert the given value to a date in the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM-trigger, like
DECLARE
dt DATE;
BEGIN
dt:=TO_DATE(:BLOCK.ITEM);
-- if code comes here, the date is valid
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
    -- seems to be no valid date
    MESSAGE('Error');
    RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;

Year , Month & Day from Date.

Hi HANA experts,
Do help me to resolve this issue
How can we extract or fetch year from the date.i went through some of the SCN blogs.where they create calculation views...but the steps are not that clear to me.
can anyone please explain??
My scenario is :
I have date field in ANALYTIC VIEW which i have fetched from ECC tables.
now i need to get the year wise month wise and day wise reports. so what steps i should do in calculation view to get that??
thanks
Neeraja

there is no ECC under SAP...as we are using suite on HANA fro AWS.and there is no restriction done by the basis till now...
as we are new to these unable to trouble shoot things easily.
thanks for your reply..

How to generate Month and Year from timestamp field in Analytic View.
Please provide me some valuable input. I have searched SCN before posting this discussion.

Hi KD,
You can apply the following formulas in the expression:
For Year :
leftstr(string("Timestamp"),4)
For Month:
midstr(string("Timestamp"),6,2)

Group by month/year from DATE FORMAT column

Hi Chaps,
I have a recordset that pulls data from a database, then presents the data in a table. The data is grouped by 'projid', repeated for every 'projid', with a show/hide control, to show all the 'jobid's' relating to that particular 'projid'
This is what I have so far:
Code:
SELECT
tbl_projects.projid,
tbl_projects.projtitle,
tbl_projects.projdue, DATE_FORMAT(tbl_projects.projdue, '%%d/%%m/%%Y') as projdue_format,

tbl_jobs.jobname,
tbl_jobs.FK_langid,
tbl_jobs.jobpages,
tbl_jobs.jobshipped,
tbl_jobs.jobinvsent,
tbl_jobs.jobtranslatorcharge,
'tbl_jobs' as fromtable,
tbl_customers.custid,

INNER JOIN tbl_jobs
ON tbl_projects.projid=tbl_jobs.FK_projid

WHERE tbl_projects.projstatus='Complete'
AND tbl_projects.projinvtype='Costing Sheet'
AND langtname!='TH'
AND langtname!='ID'
AND langtname!='KO'
AND langtname!='JP'
AND jobinvsent='y'
AND FK_custid = %s
ORDER BY projid ASC", GetSQLValueString($colname_rsInvPending, "int");
$rsInvPending = mysql_query($query_rsInvPending, $conndb2) or die(mysql_error());
//$row_rsInvPending = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsInvPending);
$totalRows_rsInvPending = mysql_num_rows($rsInvPending);
Code:
// REPEAT - FOR EVERY PROJECT
<?php
$previousProject = '';
if ($totalRows_rsInvPending > 0) {
// Show if recordset not empty
 while ($row_rsInvPending = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsInvPending)) {
 if ($previousProject != $row_rsInvPending['projid']) {
 // for every Project, show the Project ID
?>
Code:
// SHOW/HIDE CONTROL
 <tr>
 <td colspan="9" class="highlight"><a href="#" onclick="toggle2('proj1<?php echo $row_rsInvPending['projid'] ?>', this)"><img src="../../Images/plus.gif" border="0" /></a> <?php echo $row_rsInvPending['projid'] ?> - </a><?php echo $row_rsInvPending['projtitle'] ?></td>

 <?php $previousProject = $row_rsInvPending['projid']; } ?>
 <tr class="proj1<?php echo $row_rsInvPending['projid'] ?>" style="display:none">
 <td>column 1</td>
 <td>column 2</td>
What I want, is to put in another grouped by stage, where the 'projid's' themselves are in a show/hide region, grouped by 'projcompletedate' (year/month). 'projcompletedate' is in DATE format, but how to I get PHP/SQL to take the month and year and then group them correctly?

Extract Year/Month/ Week From Date

BW Experts,
I have a Time Char in a New OSD i am developing. Say the Time char is 0Req_date. This 0req_date is updated using some calculation in my update rules (Say 0Req_Date = Act_dl_dt - Conf_date). Now I have to extract month/ year/ week and populate Time Chars 0REQ_MONTH, 0REQ_YEAR and 0REQ_WEEK respectively from 0REQ_DATE. Can I do this via respective rules to 0REQ_MONTH, 0REQ_YEAR and 0REQ_WEEK in the update rules. My concern is as OREQ_DATE itself is a calculated field, can month/year/week be extracted correctly? Hope I have put the question across understandably. Help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,
It can be done...you can either put the code for all these derivations in the Start Routine of the update rule, making sure that the 0REQ_Date is calculated before the others. Or you can also calculate just the 0REQ_DATE in the start routine and use the individual update routines to populate the other time chars.
Processing using the Start Routine is recommended for efficiency and better performance.
Hope this helps...

Convert date value in 1 column help

Am on 10g.
I have a column: STAMP_DATE with these values:
I need to leave LEGACY as it is, but everything else, I need to convert it to: MMYYYY as in: 092010 for example.
So 9-Sep stands for Sep-2009. The digit is the year, I am trying to fix this.
Any SQL help would be appreciated, thank you!
STAMP_DATE
"LEGACY"
"9-Sep"
"9-Oct"
"9-Nov"
"9-May"
"9-Mar"
"9-Jun"
"9-Jul"
"9-Dec"
"9-Aug"
"9-Apr"
"10-May"
"10-Mar"
"10-Jan"
"10-Feb"
"10-Apr"
These values were imported from Excel using SQLLDR, so it kinda made them like that.

maybe this might help.

Using the EXTRACT function to get year and month from date

Hello~
I am trying to extract the month and year using the query below but am getting the error:
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder
select     distinct city AS "CITY",count(MOTOR_ASSIST2.CITY) as "COUNT"
from     "MOTOR_ASSIST2" "MOTOR_ASSIST2"
where
(:P53_FISCAL_YR IS NULL OR :P53_FISCAL_YR = MOTOR_ASSIST2.FY)
*OR (:P53_MONTH IS NULL OR EXTRACT(MONTH FROM :P53_MONTH) = MOTOR_ASSIST2.DATETIME)
OR (:P53_YEAR IS NULL OR EXTRACT(YEAR FROM :P53_YEAR) = MOTOR_ASSIST2.DATETIME))*
GROUP BY MOTOR_ASSIST2.CITY
ORDER BY CITY
Can anyone help me figure out what im doing wrong?Thanks
Deanna

1. Whats the value of year you are passing here ??
2. Whats the value of months you are passing here??
Select City As "CITY", Count(Motor_Assist2.City) As "COUNT"
From "MOTOR_ASSIST2" "MOTOR_ASSIST2"
Where ((:P53_Fiscal_Yr Is Null Or :P53_Fiscal_Yr = Motor_Assist2.Fy) Or
       (:P53_Month Is Not Null Or :P53_Month = Motor_Assist2.Month) And
       (:P53_Year Is Not Null Or :P53_Year = Motor_Assist2.Year) And
       Datetime >= To_Date(:P53_Year||:P53_Month, 'YYYYMON') And
       Datetime > Add_Months(To_Date(:P53_Year||:P53_Month, 'YYYYMON'), 1)
Group By Motor_Assist2.City
Order By City
SQL> Select Sysdate From dual Where Sysdate = To_Date('2008'||'SEP', 'YYYYMON');

Select Sysdate From dual Where Sysdate = To_Date('2008'||'SEP', 'YYYYMON');
