i want to convert date to some other format.
Below is the example 04/03/10 09:00:50.000000000 AMto YYYYMM
Iam not able to get this , below is the query which i used to convert.
select to_char(to_date('04/03/10 09:00:50.000000000 AM','MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM'),'YYYYMM') from table;
Iam getting exception as below
ORA-01810: format code appears twice
01810. 00000 - "format code appears twice"
Format Code for Minutes is MI, not MM. MM is for months.
You are using 2-digit year. Better to use RR for this. Even better use 4-digit year.
TO_DATE doesn't store fractional seconds. You need to use TO_TIMESTAMP and use the FF as format code.
So, your query would be
select to_char(to_timestamp('04/03/10 09:00:50.000000000 AM','MM/DD/RR HH:MI:SS.FF9 AM'),'YYYYMM')
from table;
To achieve your goal there are many issues to resolve ;)
Finally I made this like that:
select to_char(
to_timestamp('04/03/10 09:00:50.000000000 AM','MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS.FF9 PM',
'nls_date_language = ENGLISH'),
'YYYYMM') from dual;

I am unable to get the date column to respect the where clause. Regardless what I do, it does not filter on date. I have tried all combinations of to_char and to_date in vain.
HAVING TO_CHAR(PAYMASTR.CHECK_DATE,'MM/DD/YYYY') > '01/01/2021'
I have also tried the code below with all combinations of to_char and to_date.
HAVING PAYMASTR.CHECK_DATE >= TO_DATE('01-01-2021 12:00:00 AM',
'MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS AM')
The check_date of of type DATE.
Result set:
|COMPANY|EMPLOYEE|PAY_SUM_GRP|PAY_GRADE RATE|WAGE_AMOUNT|NET_PAY_AMT|GROSS_PAY|CHECK_DATE|
|-------|--------|-----------|--------------|-----------|-----------|---------|----------|
|2|5|REG 09|21.98|175.84|1459.96|2263.19|1/19/2007 12:00:00 AM|
|2|5|REG 09|21.98|175.84|1663.93|2589.43|1/5/2007 12:00:00 AM|
If CHECK_DATE column's datatype is DATE (should be! If it is VARCHAR2, you're doing it wrong!), then
having check_date > date '2021-01-01'
i.e. compare date to date literal.
Second code you posted is almost OK:
HAVING PAYMASTR.CHECK_DATE >= TO_DATE('01-01-2021 12:00:00 AM', 'MM-DD-YYYY HH:MI:SS AM')
--
MI for minutes; MM is for month
I found this article on code project that did the trick for me. I was struggling really hard to get the query to respect the date parameter in the queru. Setting the session to NLS_DATE_FORMAT worked. Not sure what other implications it may have. Will have to talk to the DBA.
Code Project
It's all about how Oracle stores and works with date DATATYPE
The date has seven components
Century, year, month, day, hour, minute, seconds
and all these components take seven bytes of storage.
Whenever you fetch a Date column from a table, the date value is formatted in a more readable form and this format is set in the nls_date_format parameter.
I am assuming you are grouping by CHECK_DATE otherwise you need to add this date filter with the WHERE clause.
So first check the datatype of your column CHECK_DATE
If it is date then
HAVING CHECK_DATE >= TO_DATE('01-01-2021', 'MM-DD-YYYY')
You don't have to provide hours, minutes, and seconds if omitted hours are rounded to 12 AM or 00 if the 24-hour format is used;
Or if you want to have hours as well then you used MM instead of MI for minutes.
HAVING CHECK_DATE >= TO_DATE('01-01-2021 00:00:00', 'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
And this does not make sense
HAVING TO_CHAR(PAYMASTR.CHECK_DATE,'MM/DD/YYYY') > '01/01/2021'
You want to compare dates not characters and to_char will provide you a character string that has no sense of comparing with another string '01/01/2021'.
So if you are not grouping by CHECK_DATE user filter condition with WHERE clause
or check the datatype of CHECK_DATE if it is not DATE change it to DATE.
In SAP HANA I can use filters as SQL or Column Store expression within a modelling view (e.g. Calculation View).
I'm trying to convert the time string like 08:00:00 into timestamp which should always take today's date.
The single hana routing I've found until now is the function TO_TIMESTAMP( [, ]).
Is there any build in function for my requrement or how else would you solve this problem?
Thanks and BR.
EDIT: this is how I try to concatenate the today's date and entered time into timestamp:
longdate(string(date(now())) +string(' ')+string(time($$P_StartShift$$))+string('.123456'))
HANA doesn't have a neat construction API for datetime data types.
So, this is somewhat a workaround.
The idea here is that you have the time of the day provided as user input.
With that, we can calculate the seconds since midnight, which in turn can be added to the current_date.
In HANA SQL this is what it looks like:
select
to_time ('13:01', 'HH24:MI') user_input_time
, current_date
, seconds_between ('00:00'
, to_time ('13:01', 'HH24:MI')) secs_since_midnight
, add_seconds (current_date
, seconds_between ('00:00'
, to_time ('13:01', 'HH24:MI')
)
) current_date_user_time
from
dummy;
/*
USER_INPUT_TIME CURRENT_DATE SECS_SINCE_MIDNIGHT CURRENT_DATE_USER_TIME
1:01:00 PM 25/08/2020 46,860 25/08/2020 1:01:00.0 PM
*/
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('2016-10-01 01:00:01', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') from dual;
Gives : 2016-10-01 01:00:01
Here year and month parts are understood for me, but Documentation says about other formats:
"DD" - Day of month (1-31)
"HH24" - Hour of day (0-23)
"MI" - Minute (0-59)
"SS" - Second (0-59)
So, why for example "DD" format returns 01 and not just: 1 ?
For example "MM" format, in same doc described as:
MM - Month (01-12; January = 01) and here everything clearly: January = 01 .
Also, little bit confusing is time parts (for me at least) , because in documentation, range for all begins with 0 but returns result as 00
I've expected from above query, result like this:
2016-10-1 1:0:1
What I missed and don't understood correctly?
First you are passing in two strings: the actual datetime (or timestamp) you want to convert to timestamp datatype, and the format model. Then you call to_timestamp(), and the result is a timestamp. Then you DISPLAY this on screen (through SQLPlus or SQL Developer or whatever). Only strings can be displayed on screen - not numbers, not timestamps, etc. So: somewhere, somehow, your timestamp is converted back to a string.
You either do that explicitly, by calling to_char(.....) around your timestamp, or if you don't, the interface application (SQLPlus, SQL Developer, ...) uses your session's NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT parameter. In that parameter, you can force whatever format model you want. In particular, you can suppress leading zeros with the FM format model modifier.
Without changing your NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT you can see the same effect by using to_char() in the query. Try this:
select to_char(to_date('01-Feb-12', 'dd-Mon-yy'), 'FMdd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') from dual;
Output: 1/2/2012 0:0:0
I'm trying to display data from database ( two different tables) where two columns are type date. I have a problem with formatting: I need to get date and time but I'm getting date and 00:00:00 for time. Does any one know how to use to_char: I tried this but it doesn't work (query laid out for readability in SO):
query.append("SELECT CONCAT(ins.id,'_'
,com.compte,'_'
,com.cin,'_'
,com.nomAff,'_'
,ins.to_char(dateDemande,'DD/MM/YYYY HH:MI:SS ') ,'_'
,ins.typeTPEdemande ,'_'
,ins.statut,'_'
,ins.to_char(dateStatut,'DD/MM/YYYY HH:MI:SS '))
FROM InstallationTPE ins , Commercant com
WHERE com.compte=ins.compte
AND ins.statut = ?");
Thank you
This is wrong: ins.to_char(dateDemande,'DD/MM/YYYY HH:MI:SS '). The TO_CHAR call must wrap the entire name, including the table alias. So do this:
to_char(ins.dateDemande,'DD/MM/YYYY HH:MI:SS ')
Same for dateStatut.
I have to perform some inserts into an Oracle DB. I have some dates
in the following format
'23.12.2011 13:01:001'
Following the documentation I wrote inserts to_date as follows:
to_date('23.12.2011 13:01:01', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
which works properly. Now I have dates with milliseconds with the format
'23.12.2011 13:01:001'
I've tried the following:
to_date('23.12.2011 13:01:001', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SSFF3')
which is incorrect (delivers an error 01821. 00000 - "date format not recognized").
Which "String" should I use for this format with milliseconds?
An Oracle DATE does not store times with more precision than a second. You cannot store millisecond precision data in a DATE column.
Your two options are to either truncate the string of the milliseconds before converting it into a DATE, i.e.
to_date( substr('23.12.2011 13:01:001', 1, 19), 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS' )
or to convert the string into a TIMESTAMP that does support millisecond precision
to_timestamp( '23.12.2011 13:01:001', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SSFF3' )
TO_DATE supports conversion to DATE datatype, which doesn't support milliseconds. If you want millisecond support in Oracle, you should look at TIMESTAMP datatype and TO_TIMESTAMP function.
Hope that helps.
For three digits millisecond:
TO_CHAR(LN_AUTOD_UWRG_DTTM,'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS.FF3')
For six digits millisecond:
TO_CHAR(LN_AUTOD_UWRG_DTTM,'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS.FF'),
You can try this format SS.FF for milliseconds:
to_timestamp(table_1.date_col,'DD-Mon-RR HH24:MI:SS.FF')

You have to change date class to timestamp.
String s=df.format(c.getTime());
java.util.Date parsedUtilDate = df.parse(s);
java.sql.Timestamp timestamp = new java.sql.Timestamp(parsedUtilDate.getTime());
