Valid date format

Version: 10 g Release2

For SQLs with columns date, I always get an error like
select TO_DATE('12-05-10', 'DD-MON-RR') from dual;
select TO_DATE('12-05-10', 'DD-MON-RR') from dual

05 isn't one month valid for the format mask the LUN. You must use mm. LUN would be MAY or MAY according to the NLS language.

select TO_DATE('12-05-10', 'DD-MM-RR') from dual;

With regard to the RR. In this example, that would make difference o. -However, if your channel is 12/05/99 then see for yourself:

SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY';

Session altered.

SQL> select sysdate from dual;

  • Validation - validate if the field has a date format appropriate or a number

    Hello

    I have 2 of my form fields... we're the date type and the other is of type number... may I know how to validate if the field has the correct date/number format...

    Please advice how to write "Validation" of the APEX feature to accomplish the foregoing.

    Thank you

    can I know how to validate if the field has the correct date/number format...

    The most effective way is simply to try to convert to the type required (using format masks there) in a function to return a Boolean validation:

    declare
    
      n number;
    
    begin
    
      n := to_number(:p1_num_item);
    
      return true;
    
    exception
    
      when value_error or invalid_number
      then
        return false;
    
    end;
    

    and

    declare
    
      d date;
    
    begin
    
      d := to_date(:p1_date_item, 'DD-MON-YYYY');
    
      return true;
    
    exception
    
      when others
      then
        if sqlcode between -1899 and -1800
        then

          return false;
        else
          -- Unexpected error
          raise;
        end if;
    
    end;
    

    my date is in the following format: DD-MMM-AA

    There is no format 'MMM' model. And do not use 2-digit year formats: which caused bad enough already.

  • check the valid dates

    Hello

    I got a date in the format DD-MM-AA string entry. How would check date-code valid for a given year. For example, Feb should have 28 days (with the exception of leap years), Jan has only 31 days, and so on...

    Thank you

    DP

    That should do it.

    It works by converting DD-MM-YYYY to seconds and then by converting to a timestamp.  It then compares the original timestamp to the timestamp converted.  If the two are identical, it is a valid date.  If she comes back with another date, it is not valid.

    On 31 February will become March 2.  Although both have the same value of seconds, the day and month values are different, so that he knows that is not valid.

    See you soon.

    Do not store information on dates in a VARCHAR2 column. It's simply to request data not valid, complicated, inefficient code and runtime errors.  The columns DATE, or, if necessary, fractions of a second TIMESTAMP.

    To convert strings from one format to another, you can always use TO_DATE to convert any format they are dates and then use TO_CHAR to generate a new string, in any desired output format.

    In this case, it seems that you just want to lose the split second, change the 3rd indent to a space and change points to colons.  You can do the following:

    SUBSTR (datatype, 1, 10).

    ' '                      ||

    REPLACE (SUBSTR (datatype, 12, 8)

    , '.'

    , ':'

    )

    If you would care to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for some sample data and accurate results, you want from these data, then I could test this.

    Check out the Forum FAQ: Re: 2. How can I ask a question on the forums?

    You could do all the work in a single call REGEXP_REPLACE, but it is probably more complicated and less effective.

    You must write your own validation and format scripts to achieve this goal.

    Unless you do not want to validate that the entry is a valid date, in which case, you can use the following arbitrary mask to achieve:

    Hello

    SQL is a language to describe the desired results.  How the system gets these results belongs to you don't have much say about which conditions will be applied when.

    One place where you can control the order of things is a CASE expression.  When you say

    CASE

    WHEN condition_1

    THEN expression_1

    END

    You can be sure that expression_1 will be evaluated only when cond_1 is set to TRUE.

    Try something like this:

    WITH got_sent_date AS

    (

    SELECT id_number, date_received

    CASE

    WHEN the TRANSLATION (SUBSTR (id_number, 1, 6)

    , 'x' 0123456789 '.

    , 'x'

    ) IS NULL

    THEN TO_DATE (SUBSTR (id_number, 1-6)

    , "YYMMDD".

    )

    END AS sent_date

    FROM MyTable

    WHERE (id_number, 7, 3) SUBSTR ("ABC", "ABD")

    )

    SELECT id_number

    date_received

    sent_date

    , date_received - sent_date AS num_days

    OF got_sent_date

    WHERE date_received > sent_date + 2

    ;

    If you would care to post some sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results desired from this data, I was able to test this.

    Of course, you'll still errors of execution if id_number starts with 6 digits, but they do not have to be valid, for example '131100' or '130229'.  This is one of the reasons why the date information storage in VARCHAR2 columns are a bad idea.  To work around this problem, see

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Spry form validation Date with default value error

    The spry form validation below was created with DW CS6

    I created an HTML form and displayed with PHP to a MySQL database.  One of the lines of form is to enter a date.  This line uses a 'out of the box' sprytextfield data validation without changes to its CSS or JS:

    HTML

    < span id = "sprytextfield1" >

    < label for = "servComDate" > Date beginning? < / label >

    < input type = "text" name = "servComDate" id = "servComDate" >

    < span class = "textfieldRequiredMsg" > a value is required. </span >

    < span class = "textfieldInvalidFormatMsg" > Invalid format. </span >

    </span >

    < script type = "text/javascript" >

    var sprytextfield1 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField ("sprytextfield1", "date", {index: "00/00/0000", format: "mm/dd/yyyy"});

    < /script >

    On request, the form value is captured via PHP and date format is converted to a format of MySQL before entering in the database.

    PHP

    $servComDate = date ("Y-m-d", strtotime($_POST['servComDate']));

    It all works perfectly.

    Now, I created another page with a HTML form to change information.  First, PHP takes the field in the database and converts it to MySQL format to the format used in the sprytextfield above, in which it was created.

    PHP

    $servComDate = strftime ("% m/%d/%Y", strtotime ($row ["servComDate"]));

    Then the HTML form is filled with existing value

    HTML

    < span id = "sprytextfield1" >

    < label for = "servComDate" > if the Service is coming soon, do you know when the service will begin offered? < / label >

    < input type = "text" name = "servComDate" id = "servComDate" value = "<?" PHP echo $servComDate;? > ">"

    < span class = "textfieldRequiredMsg" > a value is required. </span >

    < span class = "textfieldInvalidFormatMsg" > Invalid format. </span >

    </span >

    By filling in the form with existing value appears with the right in the box format, it shows these 'mistakes ':

    value is required. Format invalid.

    As I said above, I have not changed the CSS or JS that is loaded with the Spry textfield, so I don't get that here.

    I'm obviously something wrong with pre-filling a Spry textfield with a default value.

    What is the real need have a default value on a Textfield of Date Validation Spry?

    Thanks in advance!

    Make sure that, in the page change the constructor looks like

    var sprytextfield1 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField ("sprytextfield1", "date", {index: "00/00/0000", format: "mm/dd/yyyy"});

    The following works fine for me

    ">

    A value is required. Format invalid.

  • Check a valid date in a text field

    Hello allbody!

    I have a challenge that seems a little tricky. I have a text field that appears as a comb of 11 characters. The user will enter numbers in the format 999999-9999. Now, I would check if FIR 6 figures are a valid date in the format DDMMYY. (the last 4 digits are random)

    How can I do?

    Kirstine

    This must be tested THOROUGHLY. My test was very limited. Given a two-digit year validation checks only two numbers (\d\d).

    Form1.Page1.Subform1.TF1::exit - (JavaScript, client)

    If (!) ((this.isNull))) {}

    var regEx = /^(0[1-9]|[_12][0-9]|3[01]) (0 [1-9] | 1 [012]) \d\d$/;

    var str = this.rawValue;

    Str = str.substring (0.6);

    If (regEx.test (str)) {}

    xfa.host.messageBox ("valid MMDDYY");

    }

    else {}

    xfa.host.messageBox ("invalid MMDDYY");

    }

    }
