I don't get it. What date is 24/01/72 ? Is it January 24th of the year 72?
and how does that = 26322? and even if the number in the field is 240172 are
you assuming that Oracle will just know that the 2 numbers in the middle are
months? If that were the case it would be something like
select to_date(substr(v.date_debut,3,2),'mm') from ...
or are you using Julian days? Rather sketchy on details. Numbers don't
equal dates unless there is some referent involved. (eg from a certain
date).
