Hi!

I have a question concerning inserting data in a DATE column. The deal is that sometimes, I just wanna insert DD/MM/YYYY and in other cases I wanna insert DD/MM/YYYY HH:MI:SS in the same column.

How can I handle that?

insert into TbTABLE values (To_Date('03/09/2001'), To_Date('03/09/2001'),
                            To_Date('03/09/2001'), To_Date('03/09/2001'),
                            To_Date('03/09/2001 11:11:11'))

Do I need to supply formatting information for the date to the insert statement?

This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.

Thanks,
Helmut
