To avoid formatting the date values in a particular format and then parsing it, I would like to convert date time to a number for my application.
The build-in conversion function does not support this.
Thanks,
Naresh

just date:
SQL> select to_char(sysdate,'ddmmyyyyhhmiss') from dual;
TO_CHAR(SYSDAT
--------------
22042004023944
date and time:
SQL> select to_char(sysdate,'ddmmyyyyhhmiss') from dual;
TO_CHAR(SYSDAT
--------------
22042004024100
You can TO_NUMBER these selects:
SQL> set numformat 99999999999999
SQL> select to_number(to_char(sysdate,'ddmmyyyyhhmiss'), 99999999999999) from dual;
TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DDMMYYYYHHMISS'),99999999999999)
