Issue with the date format

Hi,
I have a query which uses other schema data using dblinks. I am facing performance issues with the query. I have the following condition in where clause
c.src_data_dt BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-MAR-2009 00:00:00','dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND TO_DATE('31-JUL-2009 23:59:59','dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
TO avoid this performance issue, I have been asked to replace that with the following..
c.src_data_dt BETWEEN '01-MAR-2009 00:00:00' AND '31-JUL-2009 23:59:59'
But if I used like this, I Am getting the following error.
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string.
How can I resolve this error?
Thanks

DATEThen your original approach is the correct one.
You should ask the individual who told you to modify it for performance reasons 'why', as there will be no performance benefit from converting the DATE column into a string (which is what would have to happen if you queried the way you were told).

  • Data Pump issue with nls date format

    Hi Friends,
    I have a database with nls date format 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' from where I wish to take export from. I have a target database with nls date format 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS' . I have a few tables whose create statements have some date fields with DEFAULT '01-Jan-1950' and these CREATE TABLE statements when processed by Data pump is getting failed in my target database. These tables are not getting created due to this error
    Failing sql is:
    CREATE TABLE "MCS_OWNER"."SECTOR_BLOCK_PEAK" ("AIRPORT_DEPART" VARCHAR2(4) NOT NULL ENABLE, "AIRPORT_ARRIVE" VARCHAR2(4) NOT NULL ENABLE, "CARRIER_CODE" VARCHAR2(3) NOT NULL ENABLE, "AC_TYPE_IATA" VARCHAR2(3) NOT NULL ENABLE, "PEAK_START" VARCHAR2(25) NOT NULL ENABLE, "PEAK_END" VARCHAR2(25), "BLOCK_TIME" VARCHAR2(25), "FLIGHT_TIME" VARCHAR2(25), "SEASON" VARC
    ORA-39083: Object type TABLE failed to create with error:
    ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
    The table create sql which adds a column as ' VALID_FROM DATE DEFAULT '01-jan-1970' ' which I think is the issue. Appreciate if someone can suggest a way to get around with this. I have tried altering the nls of source db to be same as target database. Still the impdp fails.
    Database is 10.2.0.1.0 on Linux X86 64 bit.

    Appreciate if someone can suggest a way to get around with this.change the DDL that CREATE TABLE to include TO_DATE() function.
    With Oracle characters between single quote marks are STRINGS!
    'This is a string, 2009-12-31, not a date'
    When a DATE datatype is desired, then use TO_DATE() function.

    Hi Kira,
    you can try to use a CR_LF to separate the records.
    constants: con_cret type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>CR_LF.
    And when you append your record to the internal table add to the end the con_cret.
      LOOP AT t_build into wa_charekpo.
        CONCATENATE wa_charekpo-order wa_charekpo-kunnr
                    wa_charekpo-sel
               INTO it_attach SEPARATED BY con_tab.
        CONCATENATE con_cret it_attach  INTO it_attach.
        APPEND  it_attach.
      ENDLOOP.

  • HT3345 Importing from xls problems with the date format (mixed european format)

    Hi.
    I made some spreadsheets with Neo Office and saved them in xls format. So I can import them in numbers, doing so in OpenOffice, LibreOffice or even the worst in Mircosoft Office on a PC works just fine. But importing them with Numbers 2.0.4 it just don't work.
    I have Mac OSX 10.5.8 and a PowerPC G4 1,67 GHz.
    The date format in all other programs is " 21.05.2011" and numbers creates "21/05/2011" out of it. Although my international setting is set to 23.05.2012. It defines the cells as my own format and takes than the totally wrong format.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or how to change all the weird own formats in my international setting, which would be correct.
    Best regards.

    Hi Franklin,
    I used to have similar problem with date too. To make my forms and reports work for all date, I used to send the parameter from forms to the report in text format. In the report, I grab that parameter as "Text Format" (I mean the parameter created in Oracle Reports was really as Character in datatype property) then I manipulate them in my SQL to convert that "date" into real date using TO_DATE function. Usually I use DD-MM-YYYY as my date format.
    Hope this help.
    Regards,
    Franko Lioe
    Hello friends at www.oracle.com,
    when I sent some informations to Reports, one of these informations was a date field. Here, the format mask may vary from one computer to another - some computers here are using american date format; however, my computer was using brazilian date format.
    The fact is that I was sending date information to Reports using the mask dd/mm/yyyy, and Reports (in the computer that uses american date format) couldn't recognize it, stating that I was sending an invalid month. So I had to change my date information to dd-mon-yyyy and Reports could run in the other computer, but doesn't run here anymore - fact that obligated me to change my date format to american format.
    Is there any way for me to use a date format mask that's valid to all computers here? If other computers - with other format masks - meet the same problem, the use of this program may become something very complicated.
    Thanks for all answers,

  • Date comparision issue with different date formats

    Hi Friends
    I am trying to find difference in hours between two dates but not able to do that as the formats of both dates that i have are different.
    But i have both the dates in the String format. belwo is my code.
    First Date is in the format - yyyy-MM-dd-HH.mm.ss.SSS. String sDate = "2011-05-29-13.50.44.050761";
    Secong date is in the format - yyyy-MM-dd HH.mm.ss String uiDate = "2011-05-29 13.50.44";
    Now i need to parse both the Strings into a Date object and format that so that i can subtract both dates using the
    long difference = uiDate .getTime() - sDate.getTime();
    Can you please let me know how i can do that as the format of both the dates are different.
    Is there a way like a common format to which these both can be converted and calculation done.
    any suggestions and solutions would be of great help.

    Thanks All for your suggestions
    well i figured out the solution with some goggling and r&d.
    For the first case I was getting the Date and Time fields from the UI as two different fields. I then combined these into a Date object and set the format for the first date as yyyy-MM-dd-HH.mm.ss.SSS.
    The second date was already in the above format. Then the i just did the Date comparison and got the difference in hours which was what i wanted.

  • Issue with the Data Type 'Number' in Business Objects

    Hi,
    I have an Object in the Universe where the Data Type of the Object is a number. This Column pertaining to this Object has certain values in the database out of which there is a 17 Digit Value which is 00000000031101165.
    Now, when trying to retreive the same value through Business Objects it is getting rounded off to 00000000031101200 automatically when trying to view in Webi and when trying to retreive the same in Designer/Deski, it displays as 0.000000003110116E+16.
    So, I would like to know if there is any other alternative in trying to retreive the Original Value that would not round off. Also, do we have any Limitation for the Data Type Number in Business Objects? The Version we are on is XI3.1.
    Note: There are no functions that are used on this Object at the Universe Level and would not like to use any functions here.

    What is the underlying database?
    It looks like the data is considered to have two decimals, but is rounded to zero decimals.
    Only you don't see the number formatting.
    Is this a BW query?
    Is this a calculated keyfigure?
    In the query you can specify the rounding you want and it is also possible to specify it on an infoobject level.
    Check those settings...
    Hope this helps,
    Marianne
    PS. Oh, and about the formatting, you can specify a default object format in the universe and override it on the final client (WebI, Crystal)

  • Problem with the Date format and sending it to R/3

    Hi all,
    I have an Adaptive RFC application which fetches the data from the R/3 and displays the Employee's Personal Data.
    I am using a ZFM which is customised as per the requirement from the Standard BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA.
    Now the Problem i am facing is Date is default and Optional Parameter in RFC.
    If i execute the RFC in R/3 without Date it is not filling the Internal Tables. And if i pass the Date it is filling the Internal Table and fetches the Records.
    So in WD application i am inputing Employee FirstName, LastName or the Employee ID.
    User can give any of the above input or combination of FirstName and LastName Or only the Employee ID.
    Now the Main Problem is of Date which is of type Date.
    I have also tried the SimpleDateFormat Class, but i am not able to achieve the result.
    I have also seen the Links and threads on SDN, but unable to solve the problem.
    So pls help me out asap.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Dhruv Shah

    Hi ,
    By default , RFC accept date format of SQL date (yyyy-mm-dd) . If you are using a date picker from WD, it directly set the date in SQL date format. Incase if you are trying to pass date to RFC in some other way you have to convert that into SQL date format before passing.
    if you are passing String date of format dd-mm-yyyy , you try this method to convert that to SQL date and pass to your RFC.
    public java.sql.Date sqlDateConvert( String date)  {
        //@@begin sqlDateConvert()
         java.sql.Date dateObj=null;
         try{     
              StringTokenizer tempStringTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(""+date,"-");          int dd=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
                                    int mm=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
              mm=mm-1;
              int yyyy=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
              Calendar cal =Calendar.getInstance();   
              cal.set(yyyy,mm,dd);                         
              dateObj = new java.sql.Date( cal.getTime().getTime());
         }catch(Exception e)
              return dateObj;
    Hope this will help you.

  • Issues with the date in graph on first instance

    Hi,
    I have a date pick field (P2_START_DT) that has a default value set from a table
    here is the code that I've used to set default value (thanks again to the expert for assistance)
    begin
    select max(REC_DATE) dt into  :P2_START_DT
    from TABLE_A;
    return :P2_START_DT;
    end;
    on the same page, I have a report (Type: SQL Query) and a graph that takes P2_DATE as a parameter
    here is a sample SQL condition from Report
    where
      RECORD_DATE > :P2_START_DT
    Here is a samlpe SQL condition used for graphs
    where
      RECORD_DATE > :P2_START_DT
    condition is pretty much the same for both
    my issue is that when page is loaded for the first time, P2_DATE field and the report shows right data but my graph doesn't show anything.
    to test, I added a button to submit page.
    when I click on the button both my graph and the report shows the right data... suggesting that for some reason graph is not picking up default value of P2_START_DT when the page is first loaded
    please advise.

  • Prompt window Issues-resize and date format setting to 'mm/dd/yyyy' .

    Guys,
            I have two issues which needs to be solved for better reporting.
            I am using url reporting approach to view reports in ActiveX viewer.
            1) I have to set date format to 'mm/dd/yyyy' in parameter prompt window by default It is in yyyy-mm-dd format.
             2) I have to make prompt window with full size screen in order to accommodate more than one date parameter and make it looks better.
         Can any one tell me how to change and fix date format and resize Prompt window?
          Should I open a ticket with business object in order to solve or customize the Crystal Report Server XI R2 configurations for us?
        Please suggest me some probable options for it.
    Sincerely,
    Sanjay Patel

    Hello Adlyd,
    SAP Business Objects does not support customizing Infoview, CR Server, or BusinessObjects Enterprise.  I'll post the content of SAP Business Objects Note 1218598 below that speaks to this.  Even if they could help customize CR Server/Enterprise/Infoview there's no way to change the parameter prompting page.  It's a page that is generated at runtime, and it isn't exposed to any of the BusinessObjects SDK.
    If you want to see if SAP Business Objects can help you with the date format that might be possible.  In North America you can call 1-800-877-2340, and select option 4, and then option 1.
    You can also purchase technical support from the [Online Store|http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300].
    Sincerely,
    Dan Kelleher
    NOTE: This Note was written for BOE XI and XI R2, but it applies to BOE XI 3.0 and 3.1 as well as all versions of CR Server since version XI (v11.0).
    ++++++++++++++++++
    1218598 - Support policy on customizing BusinessObjects InfoView and other applications
    Symptom
    In previous versions of Business Objects products, Business Objects Customer Support had assisted customers with the customization of the ePortfolio and InfoView applications by providing guidance on what changes were required for simple and specific custom features.
    What is the support policy for customizing BusinessObjects XI, XI Release 2, XI 3.0, XI 3.1 InfoView and the other included applications?
    Resolution
    Starting with BusinessObjects XI, code-level customization of InfoView and the other applications included with BusinessObjects XI is not supported and not recommended. These applications include Crystal Reports Explorer and the Central Management Console.
    InfoView is a fully-featured product and can be customized by changing settings in the Central Management Console or by changing values in the application configuration files only.
    Requests for custom features in InfoView or any other included applications will be treated either as enhancement requests, or in extreme cases, as product defects. Any feature that does not function as documented will be treated as a product defect.
    Custom features may also be implemented as part of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) agreement, or by engaging Business Objects Consulting Services.
    Background Information
    Modification of any of the following file types in BusinessObjects InfoView XI, XI Release 2, XI 3.0, XI 3.1 is not supported:

    When it is reading a row from MS-Excel it is writing to the .pdf file from last cell to first cell.( 2 cell in 1 place, 1 cell in 2 place like if the row has two cells with data as : Name of the Intern: Kesavulu Reddy then it is writing to the .pdf file as Kesavulu Reddy Name of Intern)
    and the second issue is:
    It is not recognizing the date format..it is recognizing the date in first row only......

  • Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

    Hi,
    I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
    But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
    ''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
