• TO_CHAR to_date and functions are in error

  Hi guys,.

  My apologies if this look very stupid question to be posted on the forum, but I get errors for the following query:

  select to_date('sysdate','DD-MM-RR HH24:MI:SS') + 6/24 "Adding 6 hours ahead"
  from dual;
  

  It gives me the following error.

  ORA-01858: a non-digit character was found here where was waiting for a digital

  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

  incorrect answer.  The input data did not contain a number where is a number

  required by the format model.

  * Action: Fix the input data or the date format model to ensure that the

  elements correspond to the number and the type.  And then try the operation again.

  What I want, or I'm trying to do is I want knowledge/duty to provide information to add 6 hours before the current system.

  I understand that this is because I am using to_date and "sysdate" but even if I change the to_char I always get an error

  ORA-01722: invalid number

  01722 00000 - "invalid number."

  * Cause:

  * Action:

  Finally, if I try to do something with sudo double table it always gives me error, I tried the following query.

  Query:

  select ('sysdate','DD-MM-RR HH24:MI:SS') + 6/24 "Adding 6 hours ahead"
  from dual;
  

  O/P

  ORA-00907: lack of right parenthesis

  00907 00000 - "lack the right parenthesis.

  * Cause:

  * Action:

  Error on line: column 74: 18

  May I know where I'm basically bad?

  Would be really appreciated your advice.

  Thank you!

  Function SYSDATE returns the DATE data type. So do not point using TO_DATE on it to convert it to DATE.

  What you need is

  SQL > alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS ";

  Modified session.

  SQL > select sysdate
  2, sysdate + '6' time-span
  3 double;

  SYSDATE SYSDATE + INTERVAL '6' H

• Equivalent OBIEE TO_DATE and SUBSTR functions

  I have the formula for the next column, which works correctly:

  SUM (CASE WHEN (TimeStampDiff (SQL_TSI_month, "Registration - College". "" Effective colleges F. ((("' Program Start Date ', current_date)) / 12 < 6 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)

  
  

  I want to replace the current_date with scope of practice. Because the scope of practice is currently not in a date format (e.g. 201213, 201314, 201415), I need to use the TO_DATE and SUBSTR functions OBIEE equivalent to convert this field into a format that can be used by the TimeStampDiff function.

  The current (outside OBIEE) SQL for the conversion of the year at a date looks like this:

  To_date (substr (Fiscal_Year, 1, 4) |) '09', "YYYYMM")

  
  I tried to replace current_date in the column formula above by the following, but it didn't work:

  To this day (Substring ("registration - College". "D time". " "Exercise" FROM 1 to 4) | '09', "YYYYMM")

  TO_DATETIME (LEFT ("registration - College". "D time". " ("' Exercise ', 4) | ("/ 09/01 ', ' yyyy/mm/dd')

  Good course assuming that "registration - College". "D time". " "' Exercise ' is of type varchar, otherwise you will first need to cast as varchar or LEFT won't like it (but the error will tell you what the problem is exactly).

  Looks like you are trying to use the MS SQL Server syntax rather than the Oracle syntax.

  You did not say why to_char does not work for you...

  Try...

  e_Equipment.EQU_STATUS = TO_CHAR (A_POBSYSENUMS. PSS_ID)

• Using NVL and to_char

  Hi guys,.
  
  Help needed here; I use the following code to create a report in Oracle APEX 3.0:
  
  Select 'EBA_BT_PROBLEM '. "" ID "as the"BUG ID. "
  'EBA_BT_PROBLEM '. "" Subject of "as"TOPIC ",.
  'EBA_BT_URGENCY '. "" URGENCY_NAME "as a"PRIORITY. "
  'EBA_BT_USER '. "" New_login_name "as" ASSIGNED to "
  'EBA_BT_PROBLEM '. "' SUBMITTED_BY_ID ' as ' PRESENTED BY '.
  
  of "EBA_BT_PROBLEM" INNER JOIN "EBA_BT_USER" ON "EBA_BT_PROBLEM". "" ASSIGNED_TO_ID "="EBA_BT_USER. " "" IDENTITY CARD ".
  "JOIN THE"EBA_BT_URGENCY"ON"EBA_BT_PROBLEM" URGENCY_ID"="EBA_BT_URGENCY. " "" IDENTITY CARD ".
  "JOIN THE"EBA_BT_STATUS"ON"EBA_BT_PROBLEM" BATCH.
  = "EBA_BT_STATUS". "" IDENTITY CARD ".
  "JOIN THE"EBA_BT_PRODUCT"ON"EBA_BT_PROBLEM" PRODUCT_ID.
  = "EBA_BT_PRODUCT". "" IDENTITY CARD ".
  "JOIN THE"EBA_BT_CATEGORY"ON"EBA_BT_PROBLEM" STUFF. "

  where
  TO_CHAR ("EBA_BT_PROBLEM". "Batch") = NVL (: P64_STATUS, to_char ("EBA_BT_PROBLEM".) " BATCH'))
  
  It returns all the fields and the data I'm after, is the only issue I'm having with my 'where '. I have a drop down selection called P64_STATUS, box that lets choose me among several options that will give me in turn to report different results. He does this ok, but when it is set to the value 'null' or a default, I want to just give me all the possible lines to select it; Instead he gives me nothing.
  
  So essentially, I need to correct the code in my where clause, I think especially here:
  NVL (: P64_STATUS, to_char (* 'EBA_BT_PROBLEM'.)) (("" BATCH "*))
  in order to give me what I'm after
  
  I tried to explain what I'm after as best I can, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

  In APEX NULL values, or often "null %. Then you might want to check for this in your selection.

  See also: http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/display-null-yes-and-null-problem/

  where
  (to_char("EBA_BT_PROBLEM"."STATUS_ID") = :P64_STATUS
    or :P64_STATUS is null
    or :P64_STATUS = '%null%')
  

  You can also assign the value null to the selection list something like -1. Then the number conversion should work

  where  EBA_BT_PROBLEM.STATUS_ID = decode(:P64_STATUS,
                                             '-1', EBA_BT_PROBLEM.STATUS_ID,
                                             null, EBA_BT_PROBLEM.STATUS_ID,
                                             to_number(:P64_STATUS) )

When is 2009-09-29 17:00 et. Is there an easy way to reproduce this output in oracle, so I can feed him in the web service?

  appricaite your help.

  When you specify "between January 1, 2005" and the 31 December 2006 ' oracle reads in January 1, 2005 00:00:00 "format of an hour... so if you have something like 03:03:00 '(e.g..) January 1, 2005, stored in the column it will not play... then that between to_date('01-JAN-2005','dd-mon-yyyy') and to_date ("December 31, 2006 ',' dd-mon-yyyy '); changes January 1, 2005 03:03 ' on January 1, 2005 "only. It verifies that the date does not check the time factor.

  You don't need to do this.  What you have described is a way to do it, but this isn't the only way.

  If d1 and d2 are the two DATEs, you can get year, month and day of d1 combined with hours, minutes, and seconds from d2 liike this:

  TRUNC (d1) and (d2 - TRUNC (d2))

  Nesting TO_DATE and TO_CHAR in Oracle, is almost never the best way to do anything.  Oracle provides many functions (for example, TRUNC) to manipulate dates, but also of DATE arithmetic.

  You can use to_date and to_char in combination to get the required format:

  Well, I don't like this example because I would tell you to use on your text string to_date and to_char on your column.

  Let's say if you have a partition of the range with a value of one month of data in the partition and you want to select the data for a given day. Oracle must be able plum of the score, but then you have to complete the partition scanning unless there was an index containing the day (assuming it's the partition key)

  I get an error invalid number when you use to_char or simply by subtracting the 2 fields. I get error of non-numeric values with to_date. I tried to concatenate the date and time with these functions as well.
  
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  A bit similar to Etbins solution:

  select 1440*
      to_number(to_date(lpad(RMBL_TIME_STOP,5,'0'),'hh24:mi')
                  - to_date(lpad(RMBL_TIME_START,5,'0'),'hh24:mi')
         ) from yourtab;
  

• Conversion of date format?

  Hello
  
  I have a collar (varchar) with values like 2010-02-23 12:42:31 I want to convert varchar to date MM-DD-YYYY format

  You can use TO_DATE and TO_CHAR:

  SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('2010-02-23 12:42:31','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'),'MM-DD-YYYY') AS NEW_DT FROM DUAL;
  
  NEW_DT
  ----------
  02-23-2010
  

  However, you should seriously consider converting these VARCHAR columns that store dates in the DATE data types.
