Chris,

Since Oracle cannot handle milliseconds, one of my colleaque wrote a stored procedure to manipulate the date and then dump the sybase data into a flat file and used sqlldr to load into Oracle.

Another solution will be load this date into a varchar2 column and use a combination of substr and to_date to ignore the milliseconds. Will that work?

I used bcp to get the database from a sybase database, and plan to load the data back to Oracle. The only problem is that I got the following defualt date format from Sybase:
Apr 3 2001 10:29:47:000AM

What's the corresponding date format in Oracle? ('Mon dd yyyy hh:mi:ss:???AM')

And did anyone migrate the database from Sybase or SQL Server to Oracle before?

Thanks,

Chris
