  This is the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970.

  SQL> SELECT to_char(to_date('01/01/1970','mm/dd/yyyy')+1364243906000/24/60/60/1000

  So in your query instead of start_time use
  TO_CHAR (to_date (' 01/01/1970 ',' mm/DD/yyyy') + start_time/24/60/60/1000,' Mon DD, YYYY HH: mi: ss PM "")

• How to change the date format in OBIEE

  Hello
  
  I have a need to change the column to a column of varchar by OBIEE...
  
  The date column stores the data in the format "YYYY/MM/DD", I need to change that for a column of varchar with this format "YYYYMM"...
  
  Since I'm pointing directly to the transactional database, I can't make changes to the database level, so I have to do in OBIEE layer, of the ideas of how this could be done?

• Convert char to date

  I have a file name as final_20120928_142334.txt
  
  
  I need to retrieve only since that date the value as 20120928_142334
  
  so I have to convert it to format time date like yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss

  This is my suggestion:

  Make your variables #VAR_CONTROL and #VAR_FILENAME types of TEXT data

  Update the SQL for #VAR_CONTROL is:
  SELECT TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (P_DATE, 'dd-mon-yy hh24.mi.ss'), "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS") OF CONTROL

  Update the SQL for #VAR_FILENAME is:
  SELECT TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (substr (FILE_NAME, 7, 15), 'yyyymmdd_hh24miss'), "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS") OF filename

  Your filter clause is then:
  ITEM_LOC. UPDATED_TABLE between to_date ('#VAR_CONTROL', ' ' YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS) and to_date ('#VAR_FILENAME', ' ' YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS)

• varchar2 to the date format conversion

  I have converted the formats of date several times, but for some reason, I get an error invalid number when you try to convert a varchar2 column. I tried the to_char and to_date function and I get the same result. The column is a date and it is formatted like ME-DD-YYYY, but I want to change it to DD/MM/YYYY. My query is below:
  
  Select to_date('fccpdate','MM/DD/YYYY')
  of cc_class_scmast_v
  
  When I try to_date I get this:
  
  Error from the 1 in the command line:
  Select TO_DATE ('fccpdate ',' MON-DD-YYYY "") of cc_class_scmast_v, where fccpdate IS NOT NULL
  Error report:

  01858 00000 - "a non-digit character found here where was waiting for a digital".
  * Cause: Input data to convert using a date format model has been

  If the column is a DATE, then it has the same format that all DATEs, which is nothing like 'DD-MON-YYYY '. Formats like which apply only to chains.
  Conversely, if it is in the format "DD-MON-YYY", then it is a string, not a DATE.

  but I want to change to DD/MM/YYYY. My query is below:

  Select to_date('fccpdate','MM/DD/YYYY')
  of cc_class_scmast_v

  To_date (x, "MM/DD/YYYY") tries to convert the string x in a DATE. Let's say it starts by taking the first 2 characters of x, for the month. The first 2 characters of 'fccpdate' are "fc", which is not a valid number (at least not in base 10), not to mention a number from 1 to 12, TO_DATE so will raise an error.

  When I try to_date I get this:

  Error from the 1 in the command line:
  Select TO_DATE ('fccpdate ',' MON-DD-YYYY "") of cc_class_scmast_v, where fccpdate IS NOT NULL
  Error report:

  * Cause:

  It's a good first step. Literals are enclosed in single quotes are not identifiers (including the column names). "fccpdate" is the literal string of 8 characters containing 'f', ' c; Another 'c', 'p' 'd', 'a', 't' and 'e'. " fccpdate (without the single quotes) can be the name of a column.

  If fccpdate is a string, as July 18, 2012', then you can convert it to a DATE using TO_DATE.

  TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
  

  If you want to display a DATE in a particular format, use

  TO_CHAR ( d
          , f
          )
  

  where d is a DATE, and f is the format string. In this case, d is perhaps the TO_DATE expression above

  TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
          , 'MM/DD/YYYY'
          )
  

  I hope that answers your question.
  If not, post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.
  Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
  Always tell what version of Oracle you are using.

• Convert the Period_Name in GL_JE_Lines table to a date format and then come back year

  I'm working on a data model BI Publisher and I try to convert the Period_Name in GL_JE_Lines table to a date format and then return of the year.

  The sql below works in 11i, but I can't make it work in Fusion.

  to_char (to_date (l. )) period_name , ' MON-RR ' ),'YYYY')
  
  Any ideas?

  Hi Jennifer,.

  To_char (sysdate, 'DDMONYYYY') in BI Publisher does not return a correct results due NLS_DATE_FORMAT/DATE_LANGUAGE settings.

  According to the standards of the I18N, NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE in the database is still hardcoded to NUMERIC_DATE_LANGUAGE. NUMERIC_DATE_LANGUAGE 'MY' in a date format mask is an integer, so you see the correct value.

  You're not supposed to publish direct SQL with fixΘe format masks (unless it's some sort of canonical format used in internal processing, including the end-user will not be), you should return language digital date to the mid range and then make the formatting of y.

  Workaround

  Try adjusting the NLS_LANGUAGE in SQL data model to override formatting from of the

  Data base and values of the Session, for ex: select to_char (sysdate, 'MON-DD-YYYY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = AMERICAN') of double;

  I got this Oracle support after lifting a SR.

• Date Format converting... Help, please

  Hello

  I have a date column in the table, which has two formats and the data type of the column is varchar2, how to convert them to a format.

  Example of data as below:

  1. 1 OCTOBER 12 12.00.00 AM

  2.02 / 11/2015 12.00.00 AM

  Help me please to convert them to the format (DD/MM/YYYY HH)

  Originally, you started with

  Example of data as below:

  1. 1 OCTOBER 12 12.00.00 AM

  2.02 / 11/2015 12.00.00 AM

  In your error report, it reads

  INSERT INTO TEST VALUES (11 NOVEMBER 14 09:26:25 "");

  INSERT INTO TEST VALUES ('2014-01-31 23:33:25 ');

  INSERT TEST VALUES (OCTOBER 14, 2014 05:44:55 ');

  While initially it was possible to establish a distinction between the formatted strings differently based on the occurrence of a hyphen in each case a dash, it is no longer possible with your examples of more recent data.

  In addition, your second line of input currently requires "HH24" to the address of the value of the time correctly.

  With the updated data and the General advice to store dates in DATE columns, you could try the long

  ALTER TABLE TEST ADD(ACTION_DATE_NEW DATE);
  UPDATE TEST SET ACTION_DATE_NEW = CASE
    WHEN LENGTH(ACTION_DATE) = 18 THEN TO_DATE(ACTION_DATE, 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS')
    WHEN LENGTH(ACTION_DATE) = 19 THEN TO_DATE(ACTION_DATE, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
    WHEN LENGTH(ACTION_DATE) = 20 THEN TO_DATE(ACTION_DATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
  END;
  COMMIT;
  

  and continue from there.

  See you soon

• convert date format period

  Hi all

  Here are my existing query which I run another tool to extract data from oracle-

  Select * from transactionTbl

  WHERE

  DATE > = TO_DATE (' $(vAppStartDate)', "DD/MM/YYYY")

  AND DATE < = TO_DATE (' $(vAppEndDate)', "DD/MM/YYYY")

  variables-

  -vAppStartDate = 06/01/2014

  -vAppEndDate = 30/06/2015

  Rather than use the Date column in the WHERE condition, I want to use PeriodID of column existing in the same table, to make the query faster.

  The period column is in below format.

  PeriodID format-> 201294 //means 2012Q 4. So 9 means Q

  Since I'm on variables, the values are always to the date format, so my requirement is first change variable date from periods of format.

  I wrote the pseudo-code, because I of course know how to convert date format periodID. Q also means in the periodID 9.

  Select * from transactionTbl

  WHERE

  PeriodID > = period_function (TO_DATE (July 1, 14 ',' DD/MM/YYYY '), 'YYYYxx')

  AND PeriodID > = period_function (TO_DATE (July 1, 15 ',' DD/MM/YYYY '), 'YYYYxx')

  Please help me with the query.

  Thank you!

  Calling a user-defined function is likely to slow down your query.

  What's the problem with just using regular date formatting strings for example

  SQL > select to_char (to_date('15/09/2014','DD/MM/YYYY'), 'YYYY "9" Q') of double;
  TO_CHA
  ------
  201493

• Date format OBIEE

  Hello everyone,

  When I connect to obiee with mode 'English' selected, I want to see the column data format date as "MM/DD/YYYY". However, the default behavior is "MM/DD/YYYY". How can I change? I don't want to change the format of data manually one by one. Can I change automatically?

  Kind regards

  Dilek

  Hello Dilek,

  I think it depends on the locale (scheme chosen under 'My account' in the corner right under your username). There you can choose the language for the interface as well as the locale.

  What version of OBIEE do you use?

  Hello

  You can set the date format level of application, then you don't need to specify the format each time.

  for this go to "Modify the Application Properties"-> globalization

  Here you can specify the format of date of application.
