How can I do this:
select *
from tableName
where SESSION_START_DATE_TIME > To_Date ('12-Jan-2012 16:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY hh24:mi' )
SESSION_START_DATE_TIME is in the format '12/01/2012 13:16:32.000'
I tried where To_Date (SESSION_START_DATE_TIME, 'DD-MON-YYYY hh24:mi') > To_Date ('12-Jan-2012 16:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY hh24:mi' )
but no matter what I try I get the error:
SQL command not properly formed
You can use ROWNUM to limit the number of rows returned by a query, as in this example: SELECT * FROM employees WHERE ROWNUM < 10; If an ORDER BY clause follows ROWNUM in the same query, then the rows will be reordered by the ORDER BY clause. The results can vary depending on the way the rows are accessed.
Discussion: To calculate the difference between the timestamps in Oracle, simply subtract the start timestamp from the end timestamp (here: arrival - departure ). The resulting column will be in INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND . The first number you see is the number of whole days that passed from departure to arrival .
SYSDATE returns the current date and time set for the operating system on which the database resides. The datatype of the returned value is DATE , and the format returned depends on the value of the NLS_DATE_FORMAT initialization parameter. The function requires no arguments.
In the example that you have provided there is nothing that would throw a SQL command not properly formed
error. How are you executing this query? What are you not showing us?
This example script works fine:
create table tableName
(session_start_date_time DATE);
insert into tableName (session_start_date_time)
values (sysdate+1);
select * from tableName
where session_start_date_time > to_date('12-Jan-2012 16:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY hh24:mi');
As does this example:
create table tableName2
(session_start_date_time TIMESTAMP);
insert into tableName2 (session_start_date_time)
values (to_timestamp('01/12/2012 16:01:02.345678','mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss.ff'));
select * from tableName2
where session_start_date_time > to_date('12-Jan-2012 16:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY hh24:mi');
select * from tableName2
where session_start_date_time > to_timestamp('01/12/2012 14:01:02.345678','mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss.ff');
So there must be something else that is wrong.
If SESSION_START_DATE_TIME is of type TIMESTAMP you may want to try using the SQL function TO_TIMESTAMP. Here is an example:
SQL> CREATE TABLE t (ts TIMESTAMP);
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t
2 VALUES (
3 TO_TIMESTAMP (
4 '1/12/2012 5:03:27.221008 PM'
5 ,'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS.FF AM'
6 )
7 );
1 row created.
SQL> SELECT *
2 FROM t
3 WHERE ts =
4 TO_TIMESTAMP (
5 '1/12/2012 5:03:27.221008 PM'
6 ,'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS.FF AM'
7 );
TS
-------------------------------------------------
12-JAN-12 05.03.27.221008 PM
Put it this way
where ("R"."TIME_STAMP">=TO_DATE ('03-02-2013 00:00:00', 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
AND "R"."TIME_STAMP"<=TO_DATE ('09-02-2013 23:59:59', 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))
Where
R is table name.
TIME_STAMP is FieldName in Table R.
Try:
To_Date (SESSION_START_DATE_TIME, 'MM/DD/YYYY hh24:mi') >
To_Date ('12-Jan-2012 16:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY hh24:mi' )
