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

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.

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'.

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.

How to Convert Varchar2 to Date format(Timestamp)

I have a date saved in varchar2 column.
how can I convert the values into date(including Time stamp), so I can use the date to compare data.
Ex: I have the value '20-03-2007 05:31:29', but this value is saved as varchar2.
how can I take from this value the date '20-03-2007 05:31:29' as date format because later i need that date completely to add days, hours and minutes?

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 :-(

DATE Format Error in ODI-11g(11.1.1.3)

I am using ETL transformations in ODI-11g. There's a dominant issue regarding date formattings when I map an ODI variable (storing date) with a TGT column(datatype=date) mappings.
In all the src-tgt mappings I am formatting the date by using TO_DATE() functions. But still getting the error:
"ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string".
A point to Note: The same ETL in other env are ruuning fine but in my new dev env it's giving this date error.
I had checked with the DBA folks and they confirmed they set equal DATE settings in all the env.
The ODI Variable is defined as an "Alphanumeric".
Tx Used: #BUSINESS_CURRENT_DT=TO_DATE('Date','YYYY-MM-DD')
Require some urgent advice...Please let me know

Hi,
W store name-value pair in the Control table from where we exctract our data. Both (param name and param value) are varchars.
Well this looks pretty strange in 11g! Here's what we found out...
If you are trying to retrieve a date variable by using TO_DATE() in the refresh query the ODI Java driver (JDK 1.6) would call java.sql.timestamp and gracefully attach HH:MI:SS.NS along with the date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS.NS). My target ia a date always..!
So, when I do: TO_DATE('20101010','YYYY-MM-DD) in the refresh query ODI stores it as '2010-10-10 00:00:00.0'
For this the Load always fails as Oracle would not be able to interpret a timestamp by suing TO_DATE()
The Java driver does this damage. However, it may be wise to store as a timestamp rather as a date if in case u do a Data capture and want the exact time credentials.
Unfortunately not a req, as of now for us so I had to chop-off the timestamp..!
Let me know if you find any other details...
Thanks.!

Date Format in 'HH:MI' - help needed

I have a table details that contains time_status column of Timestamp datatype.
Data is stored in the column in the format '1/1/2008 10:31:00.000000 AM'.
Now I want to select the data in HH:MI fopmat only.
i.e., for '1/1/2008 10:31:00.000000 AM' I should get 10:31.
I have written as select to_char(time_status,'HH:MI') from dual;
I am getting an error when this query is included in the procedure.
When I am executing outside, its is working.
Also, How can I get the format a '1/1/2008 10:31'.
Thanks in advance.

Raghunadh.

I have a table details that contains time_status column of Timestamp datatype.Good. Always use the correct datatype. Either date or timestamp.
Data is stored in the column in the format '1/1/2008 10:31:00.000000 AM'.
Wrong! A timestamp or also a date column has no format! Same as a number column has no format.
Now I want to select the data in HH:MI fopmat only. i.e., for '1/1/2008 10:31:00.000000 AM' I should get 10:31.When you work with date and timestamps you don't need any format. When you display the value, then you need to change your date into a string. Only during this transformation formatting takes place.

I am getting an error when this query is included in the procedure.
When I am executing outside, its is working.
Also, How can I get the format a '1/1/2008 10:31'.Check the documentation (sql manual) for the many options for the date format settings. Also check for timestamps, they are a bit more difficult to handle than dates.

Hi,
I ve tried out the solutions suggested by you and tried using java.sql.Timestamp
as follow:
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%@ page import="oracle.sql.*" %>
String dateString = rset.getString("installation_dt");
java.sql.Timestamp date = new java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(dateString);
But tomcat throws up the following error
:104:

java.sql.Timestamp date = new java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(dateString);
Hope you can help me.

Hi, Peter !
Unfortunately, I hurted some days and could not worked.
I shall try to state a problem more full.
1. Version : JDeveloper 10.1.2.0.0 (Build 1811), JHeadStart 10.1.2.0 (Build 19)
2. I could not create log file for find error and find message "Timestamp format must be " This message is not present in files of the project. In the previous example, I have incorrectly specified a format of date and, therefore, I have received a error "Timestamp format...", sorry :(
3. I use database MsSql 2000 and date format in this database is "dmy" (day mounth year) as default for russian users. For an example, I used the scheme HR (human resources) and I have created all objects in database MsSql.
4. Further, I created Business Components from tables. In Employees and EmployeesViews, for field HireDate :
Entity Attribute -> Type = Date
Attribute Properties -> Value = dateField
Control Hints -> Control Type = Date
Variant 1. In file dateformat_ru.properties
dateclass=java.sql.Date
datepattern=dd.MM.yyyy
After run application I see valid current value HireDate 17.12.1984. (Steven King)
I changed to 18.12.1984 and ... error :
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:103)
JBO-25009: Cannot create an object of type:java.sql.Date with value:18.12.1984
Variant 2. In file dateformat_ru.properties
dateclass=java.sql.Date
datepattern=dd-MM-yyyy
Redeploy ... I see valid current value HireDate 17-12-1984
Change to 18-12-1984, save.
And after save - > new errors :
I see HireDate 06-05-0024 and
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]The year, 24, is outside the range allowed by the SQL Server.
I correctly understand, that it is impossible to use dateclass=java.sql.Date
for date format "dd-MM-yyyy" or "dd.MM.yyyy" ?
Class java.sql.Date does not support this format ?
Prompt, please, a way of the decision of this problem.
Thanks.
I wish good luck.

How to convert parameter in to proper date format in unix.

My requirement is to convert parameter string (012011) as a date in unix without support from other like sql. then once it is converted into date format how to increment it by one day. Here i want to use my own date rather than system timestamp of unix system. Please help.
I am unix HP unix 11.

Moderator Action:
Your question is outside the scope of this Linux forum space, and is locked.
You seem to hope for assistance with a specific Unix that is a product from a specific company.
I suggest you go to that company's forum community and ask there. You will undoubtedly find many people there that are familiar with the nuances if that OS.

Dates Format in Promts using Session Variables

Hi Experts,
I have an issue in controlling date format in prompts using session variable which I am using to set default value.
By default date format is timestamp E.g '2010-12-19 12:00:00 AM'.
As per requriement(s) I customized the date format in Reports as 19-Dec-2010 and I saved it as "System Wide Default for <Date Column Name> "
So, I got desired format in Reports and Date Prompts.
Now, I need to set a default value in Date Prompt. So, in RPD I created a Session Variable which returned me date in
DD-MON-YYYY format. Using follwing SQL :
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), Getdate (), 106), ' ', '-') AS [DD-Mon-YYYY]
But in reports takes this value as string and not Datetime. So i got an error message.
A datetime value was expected (received "19-Dec-2010").
If i do not use above SQL to CONVERT date then default date in prompt get displayed as timestamp format and give me desired results but Formatting looks very odd in prompt
Is this a way so I can persist the [DD-Mon-YYYY] Formatting for default value which comes using variable and still run the report.
Above problem also exist vice versa that is if i SET that session variable and pass the datetime value to server. But there i guess I can use ToDate or some Casting in RPD column expression to handle that. Tell me if i am right ?
Thanks

That almost works. I had to adjust the syntax to the following...and then there are other issues doing this.
select cust_no, name,'@{session.currentUser}' from customersMy write-back SQL is this:
UPDATE customers SET NAME='@{c1}',LAST_EDITED_BY='@{c2}' WHERE CUST_NO=@{c0}But I don't want to display the cust_no column to the user. So I hide it in the UI. But if I do that I get the below error during write-back. Apparently sometimes when you hide a column on a direct query (numeric maybe?) the value doesn't transfer over to the write-back. If that's the case, this won't work for me. Hmm...

Date format is changing in presentation variable

Hello,
I have a problem with date stored in presentation variable.
I have simple prompt with calendar field (default date value is setted from repository or session variable to current date). Selected date is stored in PP_DATE presentation variable.
I have simple report with title to show the content of variable PP_DATE.
And now the problem.
When I navigate to dashboard page with this report I will get date from PP_DATE variable in some format (there is difference when I use repository or session variable). After I will push the start button I will get another date format from PP_DATE variable.
Screenshots are stored and described in this PDF: [PDF with screenshots|https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B2LOPOBteIShMDRmYTJlYTItNmYyZC00ODdkLWE5NjktNzI1N2RlNWMwZjBk]
There is difference between session and repository variable. When I use repository variable I will get 'TIMESTAMP .......' from PP_DATE variable, which is the default initializer in repository variable manager. I tried to delete default initializer, but I is automatically added after saving changes.
When is the default value of prompt setted from session variable I will get another format of date from PP_DATE variable which refers to DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" (from NQSConfig.ini). I have changed DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT from standard value "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" to "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" because I am reading some data from excel, where are dates stored in MSSQL format. But this is not the reason of my problem. I have the same problem also with standard DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT.
The result of this strange behaviour is that I am getting errors when I am doing some calculations (for example TimeStampDiff) with PP_DATE variable. I am getting error when I am navigating to dashboard page. Everything is ok after I will push the start button.
Do you have some tips?
Thank you

Hey,
you are talking about so many pieces here seems..
first letz break down your issues list..
1. error, this is because of default date(using repository variable) used in prompt..
2. using presentation variables in timetampdiff functions..
3. showing variable in title list..
we'll go through each issue..
because, its' messed up..I think that everywhere is the same problem. So solving issue number 1 will solve my other problems.
"1. error, this is because of default date(using repository variable) used in prompt.. "
I want to use date prompt with default date value (from repository or session variable) and then use pp_date presentation variable from this prompt to filter my results.
I would like to use repos. or session variables, I dont want to write some select to fill default date value in each prompt.
I tried to change one date in initialization block from "trunc(sysdate, 'DD')" to "to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD')" because it is the same format as DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd" in NQSConfig.ini
And now it seems to be working now.
I can use repository var. as default date value in my prompt and use date variable pp_date to filter my results. Report return result after navigation on it and after pushing Go button.
Can you confirm me that date format in initialization block must be the same as DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd" in NQSConfig.ini?
