Hi!
I have one Table Called Test
CREATE TABLE TEST (Date_Field Date,Time_Field Date);
I would like to Insert the Valued Date in Date field and Time Value alone in Time Filed.
But I could not insert time value alone into Time Filed.
Is it is possible or not ?
Otherwise should I use Varchar Datatype for to Store Time Value.
Thanks
Suresh

Oracle Date Datatype works with dates and times together. I thing this is particularly a great feature. You cannot assign just a time to a column date ! Oracle implicity assign a date to it. So, why would you separate them ?. I suggest that you always works with date datatype even for times, or just a few of seconds to hold. Test this: "insert into table_name(column_date_datatype) values(sysdate);". After this: "select to_char(column_date_datatype,'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') from table_name". You will get the current system date and time when you commited the statement.

Hi!
Thanks for Reply.
I know i can insert time values in DATE type.
But the requiremnet is I have to store time value alone. I tried to store time value. If it is sysdate it allows to to enter, If i give some other time it does't not allow.
I thing i have to go for varchar field to store time value with p.M or a.m.
Thnaks again.

Look at this: "insert into table_name(column_date_datatype) values(to_date('15:22:31','hh24:mi:ss'));". Like this you can insert any time you want in a column date. I enforce that you use date datatype instead varchar2, it will let you reduce the amount of code to performe calculations. In a input form you can set the mask format in a datetime item in the same way.
