hi,

When i try to insert the records in to table. The insert are correctly done, but the date format are changed thus year is changed to 0009. How to solve this problem.

The Following are the code using:
Declare
Cntdt   Number(3);
begin

Declare
	Cursor emps is  SELECT (((TO_DATE('01-Apr-2009', 'DD/mm/YYYY') - 1)) + rownum) Prdate 
     FROM (SELECT 1 from DUAL 
     CONNECT BY level <= ((TO_DATE('30-Apr-2009', 'DD/mm/YYYY') + 1) - TO_DATE('01-Apr-2009', 'DD/MM/YYYY')));
	
Emp   Emps%Rowtype;

Begin
	Open Emps;
	Loop
		Fetch Emps into emp;
		Exit when Emps%NotFound;
	
	Declare
		Cursor empl is select emcode,unmast,departcode from emmast 
		             where unmast = 2;
		               
		               
	Empt empl%Rowtype;
	WeekD Char(10);
	
	Begin
		Open Empl;
		Loop
			Fetch Empl into empt;
			Exit When Empl%NotFound;
			
			Select Upper(to_Char(To_date(Emp.Prdate,'dd/mm/yyyy'),'Day')) into WeekD from dual;
		
	If WeekD not in ('SUNDAY') Then
		Insert into attend Values (Empt.emcode,Emp.Prdate,'XX',0,null,Empt.departcode,Empt.unmast);
	Else
		Insert into attend Values (Empt.emcode,Emp.Prdate,'WW',0,null,Empt.departcode,Empt.unmast);
	End if;
	
		
		
		End Loop;
		Close Empl;
	End;
	End Loop;
	Close Emps;
End;
     Commit;
  
end;

Which column are we talking about and is its datatype DATE?

You should always list the columns you're inserting into in an insert statement.

And is the column (which you haven't named in the code) that you're inserting Emp.Prdate into on the attend table a date?

Then I have no idea what the problem is.
Your cursor will find dates in the year 2009.
emp.prdate should be a date.
If the column you're inserting into is also a date then no conversion should occur.

How are you checking the value after it's been inserted?

If "emp.prdate" is of a DATE datatype, why do you convert it to DATE again?
Quote:
to_Char(To_date(Emp.Prdate,'dd/mm/yyyy'),'Day')



Would you mind to post code which contains modified INSERT statement, so that it includes column list; for example
INSERT INTO your_table (id, name, date_column)
VALUES (emp.id, emp.name, emp.date_col)


Also, it wouldn't hurt if you post tables' description (so that we could track datatypes).

When I select the data after the Insert.

select * from attend where  attend_dt between '01-Apr-2009' and '30-APR-2009';

The Output is no rows selected

Re_try to insert the table, they were display the constraints error.

Thus i try the query of

select * from attend where  attend_dt between '01-Apr-0009' and '30-APR-0009';


It display the record.

If "attend_dt" is DATE, then you need to use TO_DATE with appropriate date mask:
SELECT * FROM attend
WHERE attend_dt BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-apr-2009', 'dd-mon-yyyy') AND ...
Because, the way you've written the query, you are comparing DATE with a STRING.

By the way, what about answers to my previous questions?

you can use this coding in pre-form trigger


set_application_property(PLSQL_DATE_FORMAT,'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS24');
(if u dont need time remove it.)
set_application_property(BUILTIN_DATE_FORMAT,'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS24');

forms_ddl('alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = ''DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS ''');

Dear friend,

Try using the format mask 'DD/mm/RRRR'.
It works in my system.

And I hope any expert will give us a comment on the difference between these two format masks.

Sasi...

Alternatively the OP could find out where the dodgy conversion is happening and fix it - which'd be far more certain than messing about with system wide settings like that.

It works for you but you're not sure what the difference is?
And you're recommending it anyway?

hi friends

i used to test with format mask setting in property palette as DD-MM-RRRR
for the particular date field, but i used to get only with 0009
in the backend.


when i used to place the set_application_property ('plsql_date_format, 'DD-MM-YYYY' ) i am able to get as 2009
and am sure it gets the result only with plsql date format.

and we dont need to set the other properties like builtin date format and nls date format.

Does your last post mean that you are not going to set the date format via your program (with which I agree) and that your problem has been solved?
