How can I convert this string date to datetime in oracle.
2011-07-28T23:54:14Z
Using this code throws an error:
TO_DATE('2011-07-28T23:54:14Z', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
How can this be done?
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
01861. 00000 - "literal does not match format string"
*Cause: Literals in the input must be the same length as literals in
the format string (with the exception of leading whitespace). If the
"FX" modifier has been toggled on, the literal must match exactly,
with no extra whitespace.
*Action: Correct the format string to match the literal.
Update:-
TO_DATE('2011-07-28T23:54:14Z', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"Z"')
I only see the date not time in the column
28-JUL-11
Try this:
TO_DATE('2011-07-28T23:54:14Z', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"Z"')
Hey I had the same problem. I tried to convert '2017-02-20 12:15:32' varchar to a date with TO_DATE('2017-02-20 12:15:32','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') and all I received was 2017-02-20 the time disappeared
My solution was to use TO_TIMESTAMP('2017-02-20 12:15:32','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') now the time doesn't disappear.
You can use a cast to char to see the date results
select to_char(to_date('17-MAR-17 06.04.54','dd-MON-yy hh24:mi:ss'), 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') from dual;

select
to_timestamp(SCHEDULED_TIME,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF') as SCHEDULED_TIME,
TRUNC(to_date(to_timestamp(SCHEDULED_TIME,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF'),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'))
from S_TIDAL_STATUS
The error was:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
01830. 00000 - "date format picture ends before converting entire input string"
The goal is to return something like
2017-07-91 23:14:00
(without the content after the dot).
Here's what the SCHEDULED_TIME (timestamp) looked like:
The problem in your attempt is the function TO_DATE() applied to a timestamp. TO_DATE() takes a VARCHAR2 (string) input, not a timestamp. So Oracle converts the timestamp to a string first, implicitly, using your NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT parameter, and then attempts to convert this string to a date. Depending on your NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT, you may get different errors.
The way to convert a timestamp to a date (datetime) - while truncating off the fractions of a second - is with the CAST function. Example:
select systimestamp,
cast (systimestamp as date) as ts_cast_to_date
from dual
;
Alternatively, if all your strings are EXACTLY in that format, you can truncate the strings first and apply TO_DATE directly:
to_date(substr(scheduled_time, 1, 19), 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
This should do the trick:
select
to_char(SCHEDULED_TIME,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF') as time_to_csecs,
to_char(SCHEDULED_TIME,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') as time_to_secs,
TRUNC(to_date(to_char(SCHEDULED_TIME,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) as time_to_day
from S_TIDAL_STATUS
Please review the docs to see the difference between to_timestamp and to_char.
I need to create a oracle plsql script which have input param v_date as Timestamp with time zone type.
Also I need to verify whether the format of the v_date is as per mentioned format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS TZH:TZM' or not .
How should I achieve this?
I was thinking of achieveing this by changing input param v_date as String and then convert this string into Timestamp with time zone and if any error occured while converting then conclude that the format is wrong. But it seems TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ functions doesn't throw error when the date string is in different format w.r.t the specified format instead it converts it.
For e.g.
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('15-APR-15',
'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS TZH:TZM') FROM DUAL;
Actual result : 14-APR-15 11.50.00.000000000 PM AMERICA/CHICAGO
Expected result : Some error as format is not as per 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS TZH:TZM'
In short I want to know how to verify the format of Timestamp with time zone type.
You could try adding the "fx" modifier to the format, which says to Oracle "expect this exact format":
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('15-APR-15 ', 'fxYYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS TZH:TZM') FROM DUAL;
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('15-APR-15 ', 'fxYYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS TZH:TZM') FROM DUAL

ORA-01862: the numeric value does not match the length of the format item
I am trying to convert the date from YYYYMMDD to DD-Mon-YYYY in Oracle, but to_char or to_Date is not working. Can you please advise?
select to_date(20150324,'DD-Mon-YY') from dual;
select to_char(20150324,'DD-Mon-YY') from dual;
I get an error message saying: - ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
Use this combination of to_char and to_date:
select to_char (to_date('20150324','YYYYMMDD'), 'DD-Mon-YY') from dual;
Your mistake was, that you used the wrong date pattern. Additionally it's recommended to add'', though it worked without them in this case.
Check this Fiddle.
I get an error in a INSERT. The problem is in this line:
to_date('05-JUN-13 01.09.10.000000 PM','DD-MON-YY HH.MI.SS.FF')
I don't know how resolve it. I tried also with
to_timestamp('05-JUN-13 01.09.10.000000 PM','DD-MON-YY HH.MI.SS.FF')
But i had this error:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
Any helps? Thanks a lot
The AM/PM format is missing, therefore the "date format picture" (what a wonderful name!) ends too early. Just use
to_timestamp('05-JUN-13 01.09.10.000000 PM', 'DD-MON-YY HH.MI.SS.FF6 AM')
When I try to execute this snippet:
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT alarm_id,definition_description,element_id,
TO_CHAR (alarm_datetime, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'),severity,
problem_text,status FROM aircom.alarms
WHERE status = 1 and
TO_DATE (alarm_datetime,'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS') > TO_DATE ('07.09.2008
09:43:00', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
order
by ALARM_DATETIME desc";
I get:
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
There is no problem with database connection because I can execute basic SQL commands.
What is the problem with this statement?
Remove the TO_DATE in the WHERE clause
TO_DATE (alarm_datetime,'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
and change the code to
alarm_datetime
The error comes from to_date conversion of a date column.
Added Explanation: Oracle converts your alarm_datetime into a string using its nls depended date format. After this it calls to_date with your provided date mask. This throws the exception.
The error means that you tried to enter a literal with a format string, but the length of the format string was not the same length as the literal.
One of these formats is incorrect:
TO_CHAR(t.alarm_datetime, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
TO_DATE(alarm_datetime, 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
SELECT alarm_id
,definition_description
,element_id
,TO_CHAR (alarm_datetime, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
,severity
, problem_text
,status
FROM aircom.alarms
WHERE status = 1
AND TO_char (alarm_datetime,'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS') > TO_DATE ('07.09.2008 09:43:00', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
ORDER BY ALARM_DATETIME DESC
Just before executing the query:
alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = "DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS";
or whichever format you are giving the information to the date function. This should fix the ORA error
A simple view like this was giving me the ORA-01861 error when executed from Entity Framework:
create view myview as
select * from x where x.initialDate >= '01FEB2021'
Just did something like this to fix it:
create view myview as
select * from x where x.initialDate >= TO_DATE('2021-02-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
I think the problem is EF date configuration is not the same as Oracle's.
If you are using JPA to hibernate make sure the Entity has the correct data type for a field defined against a date column like use java.util.Date instead of String.
