SQL To_char Date Conversion string

1. Conversion function
The most significant relationship with the date operation is two conversion functions: To_date (), To_char ()
The To_date () function converts a character type to a date type in a certain format:
Specific usage: to_date (' 2004-11-27 ', ' yyyy-mm-dd '), the former is a string, the latter is a conversion date format, note, before and after the two to a corresponding.
such as; To_date (' 2004-11-27 13:34:43 ', ' yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss ') will get specific time

Multiple date formats:

YYYY: Year four-bit representation
Yyy,yy,y: The last three, two, or a bit of the year, the default is the current century
Month Number of mm:01~12
Month: Nine characters in months, and the right is filled with a space
MON: three-character month abbreviation
WW: The week of the year
D: The day of the week
DD: The day ordinal of the month
DDD: The first day of the year
Day: Nine characters full name, right with space
Hh,hh12: The first hour of the day, 12 binary notation
HH24: The first hour of the day, the value is 00~23
MI: Minutes in an hour
SS: seconds in one minute
SSSS: The number of seconds to go from midnight

To_char (): convert date to a certain format for character type
Sql> Select To_char (sysdate, ' yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss ') time from dual;

Time
-------------------
2004-10-08 15:22:58

Converts the current time into a character type in YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss format

DD Number 12
DY abbreviated Fri
Day spelled out Friday
Ddspth spelled out, ordinal twelfth

The time range in the 24-hour format is: 0:00:00-23:59:59 ....
The time range in the 12-hour format is: 1:00:00-12:59:59 ....

Select To_char (to_date (222, ' J '), ' JSP ') from dual

3.
Ask what day it is
Select To_char (to_date (' 2002-08-26 ', ' yyyy-mm-dd '), ' Day ') from dual;
Monday
Select To_char (to_date (' 2002-08-26 ', ' yyyy-mm-dd '), ' Day ', ' nls_date_language = American ') from dual;
Monday
Setting the date language
ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_language= ' AMERICAN ';
You can do that.
To_date (' 2002-08-26 ', ' yyyy-mm-dd ', ' nls_date_language = American ')

4.
Days of the two-day period
Select Floor (sysdate-to_date (' 20020405 ', ' YYYYMMDD ')) from dual;

5. The use of time null
Select ID, active_date from table1
UNION
Select 1, to_date (null) from dual;

Note to use to_date (NULL)

6.
A_date between To_date (' 20011201 ', ' YYYYMMDD ') and to_date (' 20011231 ', ' YYYYMMDD ')
It is not included in this range until after 12 o'clock noon on December 31 and before 12 o ' December 1.
So, when time needs to be accurate, I think to_char is still necessary.
7. Date format conflict issues
The input format depends on the type of Oracle character set you installed, such as: Us7ascii, the type of date format is: ' 01-jan-01 '
alter system set Nls_date_language = American
Alter session Set Nls_date_language = American
or write in To_date.
Select To_char (to_date (' 2002-08-26 ', ' yyyy-mm-dd '), ' Day ', ' nls_date_language = American ') from dual;
Note that I'm just lifting the nls_date_language, and of course there's a lot of

Call Dbms_utility before and after each. Get_time, let's subtract the result (get 1/100 seconds instead of milliseconds).
