Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:A couple of questions from a lazy DBA
Charlie,
Boy talk about lazy!!!
Here is a function that we put into all of our DB's to convert our HP TurboImage dates into Oracle format, you can modify to your hearts content.
create or replace FUNCTION Oracle_date(manman_date number) RETURN date IS
odate date;
BEGIN
if(manman_date <= 0) then odate := NULL;
else odate := to_date(manman_date+2441255,'J');
end if;
return odate;
END;
/
grant execute on oracle_date to public;
create public synonym oracle_date for system.oracle_date;
Drop these into SYSTEM so that they come out when you do a full db export.

I could benefit from being able to "add" a new, homebrew SQL function into the
database.
I assume that it is possible; which might be incorrect.
Can someone point me any documention that explains how I could add my own SQL
function into the db?
I assume that some already has a PL/SQL function that accepts a Unix date/time
number
and returns an Oracle DATE variable. If anyone has code that does this, can you
please
send me a copy?
TIA & HAND!
