oracle 日期改字符格式,如何在oracle10g中将字符串日期转换为日期格式

My date value is stored as varchar2 and the value is 15/August/2009,4:30 PM, how to convert this to a proper date format like DD-MM-YYYY.

解决方案

You can convert a string to a DATE using the TO_DATE function, then reformat the date as another string using TO_CHAR, i.e.:

SELECT TO_CHAR(

TO_DATE('15/August/2009,4:30 PM'

,'DD/Month/YYYY,HH:MI AM')

,'DD-MM-YYYY')

FROM DUAL;

15-08-2009

For example, if your table name is MYTABLE and the varchar2 column is MYDATESTRING:

SELECT TO_CHAR(

TO_DATE(MYDATESTRING

,'DD/Month/YYYY,HH:MI AM')

,'DD-MM-YYYY')

FROM MYTABLE;
