Hi all,
[Quoted] [Quoted] I am trying to insert date/time value into a column with datatype date. [Quoted] [Quoted] During this insertion, I cannot use to_date or any other Oracle functions.

[Quoted] [Quoted] When I use the string, '01-jan-2004', the value is inserted okay. However, [Quoted] when I included the time, e.g. '01-jan-2004 01:01:01', I get the error [Quoted] [Quoted] ORA-01830 (date format picture ends before converting entire input string).

[Quoted] [Quoted] Does anyone know what is the native string value I can use to when insert [Quoted] into a date datatype?

Thanks,
