Hey Kanwal,
You can try the following statement
UPDATE TABLE_NAME SET DATE_COLUMN = to_date('08/16/2000 12:45:00','mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS'
WHERE .... ;
null

Problem with getting current date and time using oracle.jbo.domain.Date

I`d like to get current date and time using oracle.jbo.domain.Date method getCurrentDate(), but it always return current date and 12:00:00. I also need to get the current time.

I think you should use java.sql.Timestamp domain.
(And set database type to TIME or DATETIME.)

Insert date and time

This is a simple question but one that has been bugging me in a small way. If on a spreadsheet I press 'insert date and time' all I get is that day and date for example saturday 10th July 2010 and no time.
Anyone offer an explanation for this?
Thanks
Mike

Hello Peggy
The problem was already reported to Bugs Hunters :
+Bug ID# 7862838.+
+In Numbers and Pages there is the function+
+Insert > Date Time.+
+At this time, its default behaviour is : insert the current date and the time 12:00:00 (without displaying the time).+
+Given my own experience and what is often asked in Discussions forums, it would be interesting to change the default setting so that it inserts the current date & time and display both of them.+
+Of course some users wish the availability of three items:+
+Insert > Date defaulting to the sole date component+
+Insert > Time defaulting to the sole time component+
+Insert > Date & Time defaulting to the complete current dateTime.+
+I preferred the scheme defaulting with the complete current dateTime because removing one component is faster than adding one using the existing protocol.+

There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator.

There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator. However, when i lower it, my safari tab goes out of the screen. What do you guys think i should do? I'm getting very nervous.

hey HAbrakian!
You may want to try using the information in this article to adjust the behavior of your function keys to see if that resolves the behavior:

Find record insert date and time in a table

Hi All,
I want to get record insert date and time in a table. There is no datetime column in my table. Are there any possibility to get date and time for each record?
Thank You

Thats not easy. If your transaction info still resides on active portion of the log you can use fn_dblog to read out the time at which the transactions occurs. This is useful only if you try it shortly after transaction.
the code would look like this
SELECT *
FROM fn_dblog(null,null)
WHERE [Transaction Name] LIKE 'INSERT%'
OR [Transaction Name] LIKE 'UPDATE%'

Insert current date and time into Oracle date type field

I have a JDBC current date and time insert into Oracle 9i that almost works. It submits the current date and a fixed time into the Oracle date type field. I am using Tomcat 6.0.20.
For example if I insert the data at 7:24:04 PM on Feb 16, 2010 it will insert as: 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
The date part works but the time always shows 12:00:00 AM no matter what date or time the data is inserted.
Here is what I have for my JDBC inserts and I also tried something with DateFormat:
PreparedStatement ps; Date mydate = new Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()); //insert statement here.... stmt.setDate(1,mydate);
I also tried:
PreparedStatement ps; java.sql.Timestamp mydate = new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime()); SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(.... //insert statement here.... ps.setTimestamp(1,fmt.format(mydate));
Both keep submitting the date into Oracle as 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
Anyway to get the current date and time? For example if I insert the data at 7:24.04 pm today it should show as 16-Feb-2010 07:24.04 PM in Oracle.

If you want a date and time then use java.sql.Timestamp.

Unable to insert date and time when using date datatype

Hi
I am hitting a bit of a problem when using the date datatype. When trying to save a row to the table where the field it throws an error ora 01830 and complains about converting the date format picture ends...etc. Now when I do the insert, I use the to_date function with the format of "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss". Of course, when I remove the time element, everything is perfect.
Checking sysdate, I noticed that the time element wasn't be displayed, and I used alter session set nls_date_format to set the date and time I want to save to the table, which worked!
Then based on advice in a previous thread to permanently fix the problem, I used alter system set nls_date_format ="dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss" scope=spfile; This showed that it was altered, and I can see the setting in the em. In sqlplus, I shutdown the database, and restarted with startup mount; alter database open; and then selecting sysdate, it still shows the date as dd-mon-yy, and still no time! Checking the em, and looking up the nls_date_format the setting is still shown as "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss".
So, my question is this - what am I doing wrong? Why can't save date and time using date in Oracle 11g?????
Thanks

ThanksYou most certainly can save the time. A DATE column, by definition stores date and time. What you describe is a presentation problem, and setting nls_date_format at the system as an init parm is the weakest of all settings as it is overridden by several other locations.
without seeing the exact sql that produced the error (not just your description of what you think you were doing) it is impossible to say for sure.
However, I'd suggest you read http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/nls_date_format/

Insert date and time into write to spreadsheet

Easy question here
I need save 4 arrays of data and insert the date and time that it was taken (LV 8.6)
for example
9/4/09 10:00:01 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:02 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:03 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:04 AM 4 6 7 2
Any ideas, I can't wire the timestamp or date/time string right into the create array
Thanks
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok
the basic problem that I see is the the LabVIEW TimeStamp type is a cluster. Converting it to a dbl gives you a value in seconds elapsed since 1904 Jan 1 12:00AM GMT and, your spreadsheet cannot interprate that (or display that) as a "TIME." So, you want to convert it to a string (easy TS->String check the help for format options) BUT, you might want to pass all of your data as numbers into your spreadsheet so you can post-calculate or graph other outputs vs. TIME! This little chunk of code .....
converts a LV Timestamp to a number that Excel interperates as "the amount of days elapsed since 0 Jan 1900 @ 12:00AM LOCAL." You will need to format the cell in Excel to display it as a date-time But it can be operated on and graphed against with only Excel's limitations (Excel followed the Lotus bug of erroneously assuming 1900 was a leap year, and Leap seconds are unrecognized)
Enjoy!

Inserting Date AND Time using DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML

Hello,
I'm using a c# app to create an xml file to be passed to a stored procedure. The store procedure then uses DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML to insert the record in the xml file into the database.
There is a field in the Oracle table called "ENTER_DATE". I've been putting a date into the xml file for this field (ie. "10-mar-2010") and this has worked fine. However, I've now been asked to include the time with the date.
Is it possible to somehow put a date AND time value in the xml tag value so that DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML will properly insert it into the Oracle table? Everything I try returns a date picture format error.
Thanks

Problem with Java Dates and UPDATE for SQL2000

I am having problems with the date formats for Java. I am trying to put the current date time into a SQL table, here it the code I am using:
var Today = new Date()
var conn = Server.CreateObject( "ADODB.Connection" )
conn.Open( "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=(local);Database=BillTracking;UID=sa;PWD=;")
var sql = "UPDATE BillAssignments SET DatePosted = " + Today + " WHERE AssignmentID = '" + Request.QueryString("AssignmentID") + "'"
var rs = conn.execute(sql)
I keep getting different errors and I have been unable to find a solution yet. I know that I need to change the date format from the Java standard to the one that SQL likes.
Help....
Norm...

Please tell us where the Java part of this comes in. I see that you are using JavaScript to load up data via an ADO connection (presumably on an IIS platform) - but I do not see where you are using Java

Insert Date and Time doesn't update

i am inserting a date and time in my numbers documents so that i know which paper copy is the most current. i do this by going to Insert pulldown and selecting Data and Time while in a Footer Cell.
this data does not update upon re-opening the file and i end up printing multiple copies over weeks and months with simply the date that I inserted the Date and Time into the footer.
is there a way to do this so that it updates?
TIA

As most of the times,
this kind of question is answered in Numbers User Guide.
When you insert a date_time value in a cell, you insert a fixed value.
If you want a living one, you must insert a formula.
=NOW()
or
=TODAY()
would achieve your goal.

How do I insert date and time in my DB?

Hi!
I 'm trying to make an application that the user enters some information (name, address...) and I also have a field where the user must enter date and time. But I don't know how to insert it to the database (MS Access). How can I convert a string into a date or time object in order to insert it to the db?
I am new in programming with databases.
Thanks in advance.

Look at the following...
java.sql.PreparedStatement (particularly the setDate, setTimestamp etc methods)
and look at
java.text.SimpleDateFormat

Inserting Date and Time into a date field

Okay I am a bit of a Oracle newbie. I am trying to insert the following date and time into a date field and I don't know how to format the second part of the to_Date() function.
Date/Time: 5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM
Thanks,
Branden

I believe you would want
to_date( '5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM' )
Note that tahiti.oracle.com has all of Oracle's documentation, including the very useful SQL & PL/SQL reference manuals, available for free.

Geting and setting date and time in oracle using jdbc

can u send me a sample snippet which shows me how to set date and time to a column in oracle database where the column datatype is date.
and also send me the sample code to get the date and time from the above said column
thanks in advance

If you want DATE with time normalized to midnight, use java.sql.Date. If you really want time, with hours/minutes/seconds/millis, use java.sql.Timestamp.
As for the best way to interact with the database, use java.sql.PreparedStatement and its get/setDate and get/setTimestamp methods. Those will escape dates for you properly.
Look for a JDBC tutorial on-line to see how to do this, or http://www.javaalmanac.com for the java.sql package examples.
