Answer 1

select id,
to_date(to_char(dt1,'mm/dd/yyyy'),'dd/mm/yyyy') dt1,
to_date(to_char(dt2,'mm/dd/yyyy'),'dd/mm/yyyy') dt2
from t_table1 where no=23;This is my actual query.
But this query is giving error.
ORA-01843: not a valid monthWhen i issued this query :
select id,dt1,dt2 from t_table1 where no=23 ;
this is the output :
ID DT1 DT2
