to_date function

From: SG <sajnish_gupta_at_yahoo.com>

Message-ID: <3be97041$0$2293$724ebb72@reader2.ash.ops.us.uu.net> 





I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but when I run this query:



SQL> select to_date(11051946, 'MM-DD-YYYY')  from dual;
TO_DATE(11051946,'MM







05-NOV-46


But, when I change the number 11051946 to 11451946, I get an error:



SQL> select to_date(11451946, 'MM-DD-YYYY') from dual;



TO_DATE(11451946,'MM







ORA-01861: literal does not match format string



Any ideas?


thanks for the help


SG
