There are two things which would cause errors in your code: 1. Cuttoff_date and publication_date are DATE columns and yet you are attempting to insert a character literal 'x' in cutoff_date. 2. The date '10-NOV-89' will cause problems unless you know that your database date format is set to 'DD-MON-YY'. It is good practice to always convert a date to a particular format before storage i.e. use TO_DATE('10-NOV-89', 'DD-MON-YY') Tom kyte answered your other query elsewhere.
