1.0.6 my program works excellent
but in Oracle 11.2 i get error ORA-01830
what can be the problem ? is there any Difference between 11.1 and 11.2 ?
thanks in advance
There is a parameter called NLS_DATE_FORMAT, which defines how your dates are converted to characters as default. You are probably treating a string as date, and Oracle tries to automatically convert it to date but fails. You may want to set that parameter to the one you used in 11.1;
ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='<Your Date Format In 11.1 Here>';
The error is:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends
before converting entire input string
So it could be cause by different default date format masks (NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter) in the 2 environments.

I am facing an issue when I was converting invalid date format to valid date format using the TO_DATE function, Here I explained my problem in the easiest way possible but in reality, the data is huge and having this problem. If you can provide me with a solution to this problem then it will be much helpful.
I tried this ->
Select TO_DATE('TWENTY-THREE,JANUARY,1998' , 'FMDDSP,MONTH,YYYY') From DUAL;
As I am having input date string as - DD in spelled format as you can see i.e. twenty-three, twenty-four. I want to convert that into valid date format to dd-mon-yy So that I can store them into the database.
Right now I am getting Error -
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected.
I am using oracle 11g (SQL*plus)
Sorry, afaik TO_DATE does not support the conversion from format sp or spth. That only works the other way round, with TO_CHAR. So you are left here with the only option of writing your own conversion function in PL/SQL. or Java.
I have data in a BigQuery instance with a some date fields in epoch/timestamp format. I'm trying to convert to a YYYYMMDD format or similar in order to create a report in Data Studio. I have tried the following solutions so far:
Change the format in the Edit Connection menu when creating the Data Source in Data Studio to Date format. Not working. I get Configuration errors when I add the field to the Data Studio report.
Create a new field using the TODATE() function. I always get an invalid formula error (even when I follow the documentation for this function). I have tried to change the field type prior to use the TODATE() function. Not working in any case.
Am I doing something wrong? Why do I always get errors?
Thanks!
The function for TODATE() is actually CURRENT_DATE(). Change timestamp to DATE using EXTRACT(DATE from variableName)
make sure not use Legacy SQL !
The issue stayed, but changing the name of the variable from actual_delivery_date to ADelDate made it work. So I presume there's a bug and short(er) names may help to avoid it
As commented by Elliott Brossard, the solution would be instead of using Data Studio for the conversion,use PARSE_DATE or PARSE_TIMESTAMP in BigQuery and convert it there instead.
I am trying select a date from an Oracle DB (1 row result) and assign its value to an SSIS variable. I tried to convert it to_char (which would also work great to me) but I still get an error "SSIS value does not fall within the expected range"
You'll need to ensure your SSIS variable is of type String.
I expect you'll still need to convert the Oracle date to a string data type with the to_char method but I would have to test and don't have an Oracle instance I can test against.
Apparently the problem was about the name of the Result Name from whatever I was using to '1'. The helpful post that solve my problem is: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/129106/ssis-odbc-mapping-result-set-columns-to-variables-returns-error-value-does-not
How do you convert SQL mm/dd/yy datetime to mm/dd only? On Microsoft server.
Thanks all.
With dates and times it is an extremely common mistake to believe that what you see is what is stored. If the field is date, datetime, smalldatetime or datetime2 then what is stored are integers, not strings. So if the field is one of these, then:
convert(varchar(5),[date_field],1)
or
format([date_field],'MM/dd') -- mssql 2012 onward
If the information is a string already then left() will do the job.
Since you have specified an input format, the input must already be a string. Simply truncate with
cast(dateIn as char(5)).
You can use LEFT to just return the day and month:
SELECT LEFT('12/12/2000', 5)
I realize this isn't directly answering your question the way you asked it, but the best advice I can give is: Don't.
Instead, send back the field in its native datetime type. The database is not the place to be doing formatting. Instead, format the date in your application code.
For example, if you are calling SQL Server from a C#/.NET application, you could retrieve the value from a DataReader like this:
DateTime dt = (DateTime) reader["YourDateTime"];
Then you would format it as a string like this:
string s = dt.ToString("MM/dd");
This will ensure that the date is formatted correctly. If you are using a different language to call SQL Server, there are probably similar methods in that language.
One of the problems with the other approach mentioned (trunacating the string) is that the original value might not be formatted in mm/dd/yyyy to begin with. That all depends on the environment settings where the SQL Server is running. If you run the same code on an environment with dd/mm/yyyy settings, you would have unexpected results. This is avoided by using the native data type, the way I described.
I am trying to convert a number of type varchar(e.g 1234.456) in to floating point number using oracle function to_number(). In my PC (Locale German) the Oracle SQLDeveloper returning number in the fromat 1234,567 instead of 1234.567 and inturn it is causing the oracle error ORA-01722-invalid number. I cahnged my system locale to en_usa but no use. How can i change the behavior of oracle ?
Help will be greatly appriciated
Try it like this:
SELECT to_number('1234.5678', '9999D9999', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=.,')
FROM dual;
Here is a fiddle
