Insert with date format

Question

Hi,
I've a problem with an insert, I wont to insert a record with one date column that I extract from data_picker_item, like this:
insert into backup_adm.tmp_job_runs@REP920DC_LNK values
(:P3_OPCO,
16642,
to_char(to_date(:P3_TIMESTAMP,'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi')),
to_date('05/11/09 18:34','dd/mm/yy hh24:mi'),4,-1,2,1);
I.ve receive this error:
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column ORA-02063: preceding line from REP920DC_LNK

Answer 1

ALWAYS use a column list of the columns being inserted in the INSERT statement.
insert into backup_adm.tmp_job_runs@REP920DC_LNK
  (column1, column2, ...)
values
  (value1, value2, ...)If doing this doesn't fix the problem, post a description of the table.
