I am not sure that there is a direct equivalent for the Oracle DATE. I
think the closest equivalent are the various date structures available.
Using BC4 C++, I use the Oracle TO_CHAR to retrieve to a string, and then
convert to the format I need. Perhaps let me know what you are trying to
do, and I could possibly suggest something more constructive.
