How to convert  a column   from varchar2 into timestamp(3)

Hi all,
I have a date field column with varchar2 as datatype :
date
3/13/2011 10:22 AM
3/13/2011 10:22 AM
I tried this:
select to_timestamp(date,'HH24MI') from dual;Iam getting this error:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
I want to convert date column to timestamp(3) column

I want to convert date column to timestamp(3) columnTIMESTAMP is not time column. Look at it as a date with better precision - it supports franctional part of a second. Anyway, use:
select to_timestamp(date,'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI AM') from dual;SY.

    @OP: And for that, you have [SimpleDateFormat.set2DigitYearStart()|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17409_01/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html#set2DigitYearStart%28java.util.Date%29].
    WinstonRight. But I was talking about the case where we just use string manipulation directly, and skip DateFormat altogether. In this case we just need and if check against the int value of the first two digits.

    Hi,

    Hi,
    If your question is for copying data from 1 int table to other ;
    we can use
    APPEND LINES OF it_1 TO it_2.
    or if they have different columns then:
    loop at it_1 into wa_it1.
    move wa_it1-data to wa_it2-d1.
    apped wa_it2 to it_2.
    clear wa_it2.
    endloop.

  • How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file.

    How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file if the report has more than 1000 pages.
    I tried with previewer option File --> Generate to file --> Delimited file, but the report engine is crashing.Not generating .TXT file.
    I observed that this option is not working for more than 400 pages.
    I am using Oracle reports 6i version.
    Plz suggest me to generate .TXT file from Report previewer.

    You can specify a delimiter (a character or string of characters) to separate the data (boilerplate or field objects) in your report output in either of the following ways:
    On the command line using the DELIMITER keyword.
    In the Delimited Output dialog box or DelimitedData Output dialog box (displayed with File > Generate to File > Delimited or File > Generate to File > DelimitedData) in Reports Builder.

  • [Oracle 8i] How to convert a string (time stamp) into a date?

    I'm having difficulty figuring out how to convert a time stamp string into a date (or possibly a number).
    The time stamp is 20 positions, character (NOT NULL, CHAR(20))
    in the format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSSUUUUUU
    where Y = Year, M = Month, D = Day, M = Minutes, S = Seconds, and U = Microseconds
    The reason I want to convert this is so that I can compare one time stamp to another (i.e. I want to be able to find the MIN(timestamp), MAX(timestamp), and do inequality comparisons).
    Is this at all possible?
    Thanks in advance for help on this!

    Hi,
    As Damorgan said, if all you want to do is find which is the earliest or latest, then you can just compare the strings: they happen to be in a format where that works.
    If you need to do other things, such as compare them to today's date, or see the difference between two of your rows in days, then you have to convert them to DATEs. (There's no point in converting them to NUMBERs).
    A new data type, TIMESTAMP, which handles fractions of a second, was introduced in Oracle 9.
    Since you're using Oracle 8 (according to your subject line), you either have to
    (1) ignore the microseconds, or
    (2) use a separate NUMBER column for the microseconds.
    Either way, use TO_DATE to convert the first 14 characters to a DATE:
    TO_DATE ( SUBSTR (txt, 1, 14)
            , 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS'
            )where txt is your CHAR column.
    To convert the microseconds to a number (between 0 and 999999):
    TO_NUMBER (SUBSTR (txt, 15))

  • Does anyone know how to convert the output from the standard report to xml?

    Does anyone know how to convert the output from the standard SAP report to xml?

    since it a standard report which you cannot modify you can only do the following.
    submit report exporting list to memory
    then
    list from memory and then
    use the returned itab along with CALL TRNSFORMATION key word to convert to xml.
    but this only going to place the whole list content (including data and formating lines,etc) into a xml element and not the actual data alone in the list .

    HOw do I save documents from iCloud into pages using an ipad?

    Where are you expecting to see "iCloud document?" Pages stores copies of your documents in iCloud but the documents appear in the Pages app. When you edit the document changes are automatically saved to iCloud. You do not go to iCloud to look for documents to open or copy.

  • How to copy one column BLOB value into another column of another database.

    How to copy one column BLOB value into another column of another database.
    BLOB value contains word document.
    I thought of copy the BLOB value into a text file and then update the new column value by the same text in textfile. Will this work?
    Is there any other better way to do this?

    You're welcome
    BLOB fields contains binary data. I don't think you can do this
    Also if I view the BLOB as text. Can I copy it and insert into the new database.
    I think your options are as I said. Datapump or CTAS

  • How to separate perticular column from multidimensionl array

    dear all,
    i am just reading CAN bus message, problem is that it is accomodated in a 11X7 array which includes frame time stamp, ID, byte length etc but i am interested in CAN data. can anybody tell me how to separate that column from all. i want to read a column of 5 with all rows. how it is possible.

    Hello Sanjay,
    If your requirement is simply to obtain a single column from a 11x7 array, I would suggest you should do the following:
    1. Use Transpose 2D array to obtain a transposed array
    2. Use Index Array function to retrieve invidual row (which is actually the column of non-transposed array).
    Use index value of 4 (zero indexed), and the output would be a 1D array containing all elements of column 4 (zero indexed) of the original array.
    I hope this helps.

    Navjodh
