How to change the date format?

Hi,
I need to display the data format as(YYYY-MM-DD). But now it displays(2009-1-9)
Here is my code snippet which i used to display the data format as(2009-1-9)
*<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="date_submitted" MAXLENGTH=20 SIZE=10 VALUE="" onBlur= "return dateSubmitted()">  (YYYY-MM-DD)*
*<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">*
dateSubmitted()
*</SCRIPT>*
function dateSubmitted()
                    if (document.pgUpdate.date_submitted.value == "")
                         date = new Date();
                         month = date.getMonth() + 1
                         document.pgUpdate.date_submitted.value =
                                        date.getYear() + "-" + month + "-" + date.getDate();
                    return true;
Can anybody help me how to change the date format?
Thanks in advance!

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
Edited by: user2360027 on 26-Mar-2009 03:50

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!

How to make the date format in ipod the same as in itunes?

When I look at my podcasts in itunes, the dates come up as dd/mm/yyyy (which is correct), however, when I look at my podcasts on the ipod, the date comes up as mm/dd, which is very confusing.
I cannot figure out how to make it so that the date format is the same.

How to get the date format yyyy-mm-dd?

Hi,
I have an iphone (3.1.2) and would like to use the date format yyyy-mm-dd (international date format). Is the possible? If yes, how?

I know of no other way to set the date format other than what I mentioned in my previous post. There are third party apps that will do what you want in the app. store, but they are not permitted to access the underlining software.

How to remove the date format validation done by the UI

Hi All,
I am having a date field which is an input field for Dateof Birth. User can either select from the calendar or enter his own date. If the user enters invalid date format'(032342525') something like this, when we move to the next tab the column turns to Red and it displays a message saying that date is not a valid date. I wanted to validate that on Save instead of tab click.
Can anyone of you tell me how can we remove this date format validation in Java Webdynpro.
Thankyou for your time and consideration!
Madhavi

Thankyou for your reply. I cannot the change the date type to string bcas the users need date picker to select the date. The problem I am having is once the format is wrong and the UI validates, though the other fields are entered by the user the application returns error saying that the required field are not entered.
And also I am having multiple containers in my view set and for all other error messages I am using a popup to display the messages and this only error is shown at the bottom of the page which the users does'nt like.
Is there any way I can identify that format error occured before it throws on the UI screen??
Regards,
Madhavi

How to get the Date format inside the table

I have a startdate column in the db in the format May 5, 2001 12:39:00 PM, when I query it from a view in this way : SELECT startdate, ... FROM ..., it returns the format in the db,
However I have to do this SELECT
decode(startdate, null, 'NOT START'), startdate), ... the result is 5-MAY-01,
then I tried this to_char(startTime, 'Month DD, YYYY HH:MI: A.M.') the results become May 05, 2001 12:39:00 PM. (more space between month and day, and 05 instaed of 5)
Does anybody know how to fix this, so I get exactly what is in the db?
Thanks in advance

No matter what you do if you are storing a date in a column it will get stored in the Oracle's internal 7 byte date format.
The way you get it on retreiving it is as set by your date format. You can either change the default date format for the instance, the individual session or the individual SQL statement(in this case using to_char(date, 'format')).
If you want to store the date in a format you want to store you'll have to store it as char or varchar2.

When you do to_char() with 'month' oracle blank pads the month to nine characters, the same goes with day too. So to get rid of it you'll have to trim() the month. And if you want to get a single digit for date less than 10 instead of 0x you'll have to do a bit of extra jugglery using translate() or replace().
Hope this helps

How to change the date format from default to mm-dd-yyyy?

Hi,
There is a requirement to show the current date in an error message at the attribute level. That is, if the user input a date in a text field that is earlier than today's date, then an error message must immediately pop up with today's date in the message. To achieve this we are using a token expression in the EO ( Under Validation rules) . The token expression uses adf.currentDate to get today's date.
The problem is that the expression extracts the date in the form of yyyy-mm-dd. What expression should I use to get the current date format in mm/dd/yyyy ? Can I modify the adf.currentDate expression in some way to get the desired format?
Thanks,
Anand

You could write a custom EO method to return today's date in the specific format. Then access it via the Groovy adf.object expression.

IR Job Parameters - Import bqy to a location - Append date to filename - How to change the date format?

Unfortunately, I do not have a Firefox OS device, so this is based on an old screen shot I saw in a search...
During initial setup, you may have been asked to confirm your language and region. I believe the region is used to localize your date format. Can you find a setup app to get back to those choices? Please be advised that running a setup app may remove some data, so it's probably a good idea to wait for additional feedback before actually going forward with it.

Hi,
you can use SimpleDateFormat to parse Date objects to formatted Strings
SimpleDateFormat (Java Platform SE 7 )
Note that dependent in your Date type you may deal with Date or SQL Date in ADF BC. SqlDate woild need to be converted to Date first and then parsed into a formatted String. I suggest you Google for SimpleDateFormat examples
