I am trying to get data into my Oracle 7.3.4 from a table which I have on a different server and the datatypes doesn't match. I have been trying use decode "string" from my application to read into my database, but on the other side the dataes that I am trying to get starts with three '000' and my tables in Oracle doesn't read them.

How can I "cheat" Oracle to accept this dates?

Thanks
