SQL date format

Hi,
Assume the records in a legacy oracle data base have an attributes called date which has the format as 'Dy DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS' (e.g. 21-Apr-1998 21:18:27).
In my Java application, assume that I provide a GUI for users to input date as
"DD-MM-YYYY" (e.g. 21-04-1998).
How can I make a SQL statement to find all records of the date "21-Apr-1998"?
Regards,
Pengyou

Hi,
I would like to clarify my question
The oracle table that I have has a date column of the
format (oracle default one)
as 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS' (e.g. 21-Apr-1998
21:18:27).Just to be sure.....
The type of the column is "date". It is NOT "varchar", "varchar2", "char" or something else.
If so then the the column does not have a format. It is value that does not change regardless of format. What you see is the result of an oracle tool (probably sqlplus) converting it to that format.
And as discussed you use prepared statement.
However you MUST use a range check since you have a timestamp (not a date) and you want to compare it to a date.
So the java would look something like this....
String sql = "select field1 from mytable where adate >= ? and adate < ?";
SimpleFormatDate dt = ....
java.util.Date d = dt.parse("...");
java.sql.Date t1 = new java.sql.Timestamp(d.getTime());
java.sql.Date t2 = // Use calendar to add one day
PreparedStatement ps = ...(sql)
ps.setDate(t1);
ps.setDate(t2);
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();Note that you MUST use exclusion and inclusion at either end (">=" and "<"). If you don't then you run the risk of including something twice or excluding something.
And the above is explained in numerous other posts.

Error in SQL Date Format Mask

Hi,
I am facing problem in validation data in FDQM.
When I am trying to validate data,I am getting an error as ' An Error occured.Please verify that SQL Date Format Mask is correct'
The current Date Format in our application is YYYYMMDD.
I did not have this problem earlier in validating data.This problem is occuring now only and also this error is coming for few entities only.
Could any one suggest me on how this can be resolved.
Thanks

Hi Kelly,
I checked periods in control tables and there are no duplicates.
The Period Date Format Mask is MMM-YYYY where as the SQL Date Format Mask is YYYYMMDD.
These settings are there since the time I created application.Has it got anything to do with database.
Appreciate your quick response

SQL Date Format question

Hello,
The date format in an Access database is "Date Time" (
1/8/2008 6:14:34
AM ). It's a required format for some functions.
I need to group product orders by date for a simple revenue
summary page.
As the time part of the date is different for all orders,
trying to group
all orders by one date ( 1/8/2008 for example ) won't work.
It results in:
1/8/2008 6:14:34 AM $30.00
1/8/2008 7:50:23 AM $20.00
I need it to be:
1/8/2008 $50.00
I've tried convert and datetime but am having some kind of
brain cramp I
think and can't get it to work.
The base SQL is:
SELECT order_Date, Sum(order_Total) as TotalAmt FROM
OrderDetails
GROUP BY order_Date
Usage:
<% While ((Repeat1__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT
Recordset1.EOF)) %>
<td><%= Recordset1("order_Date") %></td>
<td><%= Recordset1("TotalAmt") %></td>
Repeat1__index=Repeat1__index+1
Repeat1__numRows=Repeat1__numRows-1
Recordset1.MoveNext()
Wend
%>
Any ideas are appreciated.
Take care,
Tim

Hi Baxter,
I will be summing the totals, but I haven't added that yet.
The date format was the big hurdle.
I just have to figure out how to format the date back to
mm/dd/yyy in the
repeat region on the page now.
It's coming out of the rs as yyyy/mm/dd
<%=Recordset1("orderDate")%>
I'm thinking I'll need to set up a function to format the way
orderDate
displays.
<%=FriendlyDate(Recordset1("orderDate"))%>
But, time for a break. Thanks again for the ideas.
Take care,
Tim

Convert a String to java.sql.Date Format

Hi,
I am having a String of containing date in the format 'dd/mm/yyyy' OR 'dd-MMM-YYYY' OR 'mm-dd-yyyy' format. I need to convert the string to java.sql.Date object so that I can perform a query the database for the date field. Can any one suggest me with the code please.

Converting String foramt(yyyy-mm-dd) to java.sql.Date format(mm/dd/yyyy)

Hi,
I am new to this Technology.
in my Project DataBase I have the date field as String in format yyyy-mm-dd. when I am trying to fetch this date through the front-end I need to see the date in dd/mm/yyyy format of type java.sql.Date Variable.
if you know, Pl help me.
Thanks in Advance,
Kamala.

Then use a SimpleDateFormat object to parse it into a Date object, and also to format the Date the way you want to see it, rather than simply relying on the toString() implementation.

Problem in converting util date format to sql date format

im trying to convert util date to sql date...i'm getting the error msg as
Error is : java.lang.NullPointerException
Error Message : null
i'm not bale to track the result...whatz the problem with this code?
This fromDate value will be dynamically built, value will be

java.util.Date xx=util.stringToDate(fromDate);
java.sql.Date sqlD=null;

SQL date format dd/mm/yy

Hi,
I've already searched for this question, and tried the code in the answers given, but I still can't get it to work.
I'm trying to display the current date in the format dd/mm/yy, with no time.
Here is the code I've tried so far:
--set dateformat dmy
DECLARE @today as date
--set @today = CONVERT(date, getdate()) as [dd/mm/yy]
set @today = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 103) AS [DD/MM/YYYY]
print @today
The commented out lines are previous attempts. When I run the code as it is above, I get the following error message:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'.
DECLARE @today as date
set @today = CONVERT(date, getdate())
set dateformat dmy
The code above results in:
2012-06-06
but I need the format to be 06-06-2012.
Thanks

Good day
I hope that you are still here and read this, since there is a basic reason for the error that you got in the start. and i dont see anyone mentioned it. The idea is not just to copy a solution that someone give you but to understand :-)
I hope this is abit useful
>> When I run the code as it is above, I get the following error message:Incorrect syntax near
the keyword 'AS'.
The reason for the error in the first code that you post has nothing to do with the date or date format. It is raising since you tried to use SET parameter and you used "as ...". this is not a select query and you can not use this format: "SET
@X = ... as name"
* You use the CONVERT style parameter(103 in your case),
during the display format for example when you convert it to string (the select query), but in your case you print the date in the end without any specific display style, and therefore it is printed as your current configuration.

SQL DATE FORMATS INTERCHANGED

Hi ,
Pls find below details abt the issue:
one of the column in a tablecontains date format in 2 different ways.
acct_create_date column is varchar2 datatype
acct_create_date 20041231093030 yyyymmddhhmiss
20041030162525
28281230112004 ssmihhddmmyyyy
24241028102004
these r the two different formats a column contains in a table. our objective is to get all the dates to consistent format like
yyyymmddhhmiss.
can anyone suggest ways to do it ...
Thanks in advance

I hope that the intention is to convert the column into a date datatype, so you won't have to go through this pain again!
Is there another column which determines what format the date is in, or can be used to derive the format?
If I were you, I'd knock up two functions, one for each format, and use that to test each result to see if it will successfully convert to a date or not. That way, the majority should be easy to spot which format they're in, and hopefully only a few will be dates in both formats - you'd have to go through those cases manually to see if you can work out what the format should be. You'd also have to limit the range of years in your function.
eg.
select date_col, to_ymdhms(date_col), to_smhdmy(date_col)
from my_tab
where to_ymdhms(date_col) is not null
and to_smhdmy(date_col) is not null;

Ms sql date format is coming as oracle.sql.TIMESTAMP

Hi,
Instead of getting the date as mm-dd-yy i am getting the dates in ms sql as below. Can someone pls advise how to rectify this.. Thanks
oracle.sql.TIMESTAMP@16dcbc9
oracle.sql.TIMESTAMP@15e3974
oracle.sql.TIMESTAMP@10e0904
oracle.sql.TIMESTAMP@721e92

Rectify what?
No Oracle database version number?
Where is the table's DDL or description?
No idea what you are getting the date from ... is it MS SQL across a heterogenous link or a .NET app?
No idea what tool you are using ... SQL*Plus or TOAD or Excel with ODBC
If you want help you need to provide sufficient information such that the person trying to help you understands what is actually happening.
Try as I might I can not look through my monitor and see yours. ;-)

Making java.sql.Date dd.mm.yyyy format

Hi,
java.sql.Date format is m/d/yyyy.
I must use dd.mm.yyyy format.

You can use the following line of code to change the date format
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
String formattedDate = formatter.format(<Ur java.sql.Date instance>);

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());
