If you mean OCI instead of OIC then with the Oracle Call Interface it is the application's responsibility to validate dates before entering them. With any Pro* language like Pro*C and in sqlplus Oracle would validate the date column value before inserting it to the database. But with OCI Oracle will accept what you five it.

Luca Minudel <luca.minudel_at_nline.it> wrote in article A front-end application insert rows in an Oracle Db using OIC interface to Oracle I guess. I've found a Date value set to 00-00-0000 in a table column. When I convert Datae to Julian format and then I convert it back to Date format I get 01-Dic-0001 date value...

I can understand that a front-end application running under Windows95 can be buggy, but qhat's going on with Oracle?
