I'm trying to change the formatting of ownshp_start_dt as 'YYYYMM' but getting the wrong output in some obesrvations.
SELECT ownshp_start_dt,date_format(ownshp_start_dt,'YYYYMM') from test;
Output :
Any help?
Thanks
Change the format to SELECT ownshp_start_dt,date_format(ownshp_start_dt,'yyyyMM') from test; (please note lower case for year segment).

I have a date field in one of my tables that's formatted like this: 20220212.
I want to CAST it like this: 2022/02/12 but a simple CAST(DATE_FIELD AS DATE) doesn't seem to work. ANyone know how I can achieve this with SQL in Snowflake?
Thanks!
Please try to_date()
to_date(DATE_FIELD, 'YYYY/MM/DD')
Documentation
Select to_date('20220212','YYYYMMDD')::date as dt, to_char(dt,'YYYY/MM/DD') ;
When running
select processing_date from table;
i got this result "04-30-2020 20.12.49.978711"
what i want to change the format of the result to "30-APR-20"
is there a way i can do that ?
i tried select to_date(processing_date,'mm-dd-yyyy') from table; but it gives me errors
any help ?
You want to_char():
select to_char(processing_date, 'MM-DD-YYYY')
Dates are stored as an internal format, which you cannot change. If you want the date formatted in a particular way, then one solution is to convert to a string with the format you want.
EDIT:
The date appears to be a string. You can convert it to a date using:
select to_date(substr(processing_date, 1, 10), 'MM-DD-YYYY')
You can then either use as-is or use to_date() to get the format you really want.
I'm trying to remove the hours, minutes and seconds from a date using the following code :
TRUNC(column_date, 'YY')
But I get this : 01JAN2008:00:00:00, while I want this : 01JAN2008.
What should I do?
TRUNC() works as expected, and returns the original date truncated to year, as a date datatype. You want to format this date before displaying it (this actually means converting it to a string). For this, you can use the TO_CHAR() function.
You probably want:
TO_CHAR(TRUNC(column_date, 'YY'), 'ddmonyyyy')
Please note that this expression could be simplified to avoid the use of TRUNC(), as follows:
'01JAN' || TO_CHAR(column_date, 'yyyy')
I think you want to_char: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SQLRF/functions216.htm#SQLRF06129
Try using it in this way:
SELECT TO_CHAR(column_date, 'DD/MON/YYYY')
FROM x;
Where x is the table you are trying to query.
you only need to use
select to_char(column_date,'ddMONyyyy') FROM yourTable
Even you can invoke with
select to_char(column_date,'ddMONyyyy','nls_date_language=english') FROM yourTable
to guarantee to see the abbreviation JAN in the case your session/system date language value is different than english
to display as expected.
Thanks for your help. I am not able to make out the type/format of the "Value" in a Date column.I guess its in Julian Date format.
The Column is paid_month and the values are below.
200901
200902
So,please help in writing SQL query to convert the above values(Mostly in Julian Format) in the Date Column to normal date (MM/DD/YYYY) .
Thanks
Rohit
Hi,
I am sorry for missing in giving the whole information.
1)Its a Oracle Database.
2)The column given is Paid_Month with values 200901,200902
3)I am also confused that the above value gives month & year.Day isnt given if my guess is right.
4)If its not in Julian format ,then also please help me the SQL to get at least mm/yyyy
I am using a Oracle DB and running the query
THANKS i GOT THE ANSWER.
**Now,i have to do the reverse meaning converting a date 01/09/2010 to a String which has 6 digits.
Pls help with syntax-
select to_char(01/01/2010,**
It looks like YYYYMM - depending on your database variant, try STR_TO_DATE(paid_month, 'YYYYMM'), then format that.
Note: MM/DD/YYYY is not "normal" format - only Americans use it. The rest of the world uses DD/MM/YYYY
For MySQL check
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_date-format
Example:
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%d/%m/%Y')
For MySQL, you would use the STR_TO_DATE function, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_str-to-date
SELECT STR_TO_DATE(paid_month,'%Y%m');
Sounds like the column contains some normal dates and some YYYYMM dates. If the goal is to update the entire column, you can attempt to isolate the YYYYMM dates and update only those. Something like:
UPDATE YourTable
SET paid_month = DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(paid_month, '%Y%m'), '%m/%d/%Y')
WHERE LENGTH(paid_month) = 6
SELECT (paid_month % 100) + "/01/" + (paid_month/100) AS paid_day
FROM tbl;
I'm not sure about how oracle concatenates strings. Often, you see || in SQL:
SELECT foo || bar FROM ...
or functions:
SELECT cat (foo, bar) FROM ...
How can I return from float/decimal value with the following:
SELECT 210
FROM DUAL
...to get:
210.00
...instead of 210?
Using pl/sql oracle 10g
SELECT TO_CHAR(210, '999.99') FROM dual;
More to_char related formats here.
Use:
SELECT CAST(210 AS NUMBER(3,2))
FROM DUAL
...to get the value as a numeric data type. TO_CHAR with a filter would work, but returns the output as a string.
Reference:
CAST
TO_CHAR
You can use the to_char function passing in an optional format string e.g. to_char(210.00,'000.00') would give the desired result. Do a google search for "number formatting in oracle" and you will find some good examples of format strings.
Edit
Look for "Number Format Elements" here.
