Timestamp to date format SQL

hi there,
I was getting data in this format
0x00000000004890D4
0x0000000000489121
0x0000000000480004
I want to convert this to proper date format ......
is there any Query to convert this to date format in SQL ? Can anyone guide me please

timestamp is just an automatically bumped sequential number, it is not datetime.
BOL: " timestamp is a data type that exposes automatically generated binary numbers, which are guaranteed to be unique within a database.
timestamp is used typically as a mechanism for version-stamping table rows. The storage size is 8 bytes.
Remarks
The Transact-SQL timestamp data type is not the same as the
timestamp data type defined in the SQL-92 standard. The SQL-92 timestamp data type is equivalent to the Transact-SQL
datetime data type. "

Analytic View join issue between TIMESTAMP and DATE formats

I have a fact table in my data foundation that has a TIMESTAMP date that i am trying to join with to my calendar table that has a DATE format . I am unable to query this view after creating it and it appears to be because of the data type differences. Is there a way to convert when joining? i can not seem to find a way to do this

Yes, you can use a generated always statement to create a join predicate and join against that in the view.
Or you can join against the M_TIME_DIMENSION table in an attribute view to convert.
Or you can create a calculated column and do a union.
Depending on the requirements, one of these will be the best fit.

Timestamp to Date format

Hi all
Can anyone tell me how to convert Timestamp to Oracle date format please. This is Timestamp and I need to convert it to Oracle Date format e.g 02-FEB-10
String p_event_date = req.getParameter("EVENT_DATE");I'm working with stored procedures and this is the way the Date is stored;
ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'YYYY'),12)+10 Some help will be much appreciated
Thanks
Zed

Anyone with any suggestions please, slightly desperate now. Your help will be greatly appreciated. This was my last code that I tried.
Date dtTmp = null;
     try {
          dtTmp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(p_event_date);
     } catch (ParseException e1) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e1.printStackTrace();
    String strOutDt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(dtTmp);
    System.out.println("Formatted" + strOutDt);And the error I get is;
SQLException caught: ORA-01847: day of month must be between 1 and last day of month ORA-06512: at line 1 Thanks

Data Format-SQL help

Hi
I have a string field with data size of 18in the source(flat file).Values are for example:
12345
5678
23009873456
Now I want it to be stored ,padded with zeroes upto 18 places.(eg 000000000000012345).
My problem is ,correponding field in target is a idecmal(18,2).SO when i load the 000000000000012345,in target it trims all zeroes and display it as 12345.
But I want it to be like this 000000000000012345.
Any workaround?Please suggest

You need to think before change the datatype, your occupied space will be grow.

Date Format in Oracle 11g XE

Hello everyone,
I have installed Oracle11XE and noticed that it has the following date format:
      SQL> SHOW PARAMETER NLS_DATE_FORMAT
      NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
      nls_date_format                      string      RR-MM-DD
I know that I can change the format for the session, like this:
     alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YY';
I also know that to change the system parameter I need to do the following:
     alter system set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YY' scope=spfile;
     then restart the database.
However, after I do the latter, the date format is still:
     SQL> select sysdate from dual;
     SYSDATE
     14-11-19
Could someone tell me why this is happening and correct this?..
Thanks.

How to specify date format in a schema

I got the following error when try to write data to a flat file using file adapter. I think it's because my variable's date format doesn't match what's in the xml schema. I defined the xml schema by using 'Define Schema for Native Format', but I can not specify date format there. How do I know what format the system will read and how to define my own date format?

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

How can i convert the firefox-history-timestamp in places.sqlite into a normal date format? The firefox-timestamp is not equivalent to the unix-timestamp, that's why I ask. I could not find a conversion function. Does anyone know something about this?

As I opened the places.sqlite with an sqlite-editor I found out that firefox saves the last_visit_date via a timestamp which is 16 digits long. I realized that the first 10 digits are similar to the corresponding unix-timestamp but not equal. So.. how can i convert the firefox-timestamp into a normal date? Or into the corresponding unix-timestamp?

Write a bash script or 'C' program to change the date format and then use the sql update function to receive the stdio output 'where date_field='embeded date value'.

EA1 - Cannot Change Date Format in SQL Results

In version 1.2, I used to go to Tools > Preferences > Database > NLS Paramters and change the date format there. The change would then be reflected in the SQL results for date columns.
When I try to do the same thing in 1.5 EA1, the date format is always the same, DD-MON-RR, no matter what I put in the date format setting under NLS Paramters.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Just a quick post to make sure that the bug you logged takes into account all NLS parameters :), as this does not concern only dates but also timestamp formats, decimal and group separators as well, and probably all of the NLS parameters I assume.

The current format is yyyy/mm/dd-hh:mm:ss:sss and I need to convert it to yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss CST

Could anyone here help me with it? thanks in advance.

any help would greatfully appreciated.

It seems that the problem was caused by the constant at the beginning of the record and had nothing to do with date formats.

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.

Timestamp/Date format error with Java 1.6

I'm getting this error trying to getObjects from a ResultSet query for an Oracle Lite 10G table that has colums of the TIMESTAMP or DATE type. This works fine under java 1.5. Java 1.6 seems to have broken TIMESTAMP/DATE compatibility with Oracle Lite. Are there any plans to make 10G compatible with Java 1.6? We would like to port our application from Java 1.5 to 1.6, but this is an obstacle. I suppose one work-around would be to use TO_CHAR on all the DATE fields and convert them back to java Dates programatically, but that would be a hassle.
Update: I changed the column types of the table from TIMESTAMP to DATE. The same exception occurs when calling POLJDBCResultSet.getObject() on the DATE columns. Again, this works fine under Java 1.5, but not 1.6.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss[.fffffffff]
     at java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(Timestamp.java:194)
     at oracle.lite.poljdbc.LiteEmbResultSet.jniGetDataTimestamp(Native Method)
     at oracle.lite.poljdbc.LiteEmbResultSet.getVal(Unknown Source)
     at oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCResultSet.getTimestamp(Unknown Source)
     at oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCResultSet.getObject(Unknown Source)
     at oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCResultSet.getObject(Unknown Source)

I just found a pretty easy java work-around for this that doesn't involve changing the table column types or the SQL:
Check the column type from the ResultSetMetaData before calling ResultSet.getObject(). If the type is DATE, TIMESTAMP or TIME, call ResultSet.getString() which doesn't throw an exception. Then convert the string to a java.util.Date using java.text.SimpleDateFormat. That can then be used to instantiate a Timestamp.
This seems to work.
