Datetime Formating -

  • hi,

    - how to get the Last 30 days records from a table in Oracle if the column is in format string -

    like

    Example - the value in the table is - 1251807219

    the value in formatted is "2009-09-01 08:13:39.000"

    and after foramting date I want to use this column in where condition

    to get the records from last third days

    IN SQL SERVER , I can using Date Add - but how cani get the Oracle

    Select col1 from tabel

    where dateadd(s,convert(int,1251807219)-(4*60*60),'01/01/1970') <getdate()- 30

    Please help..,

    Thanks

  • at our shop, we have to do both SQL and Oracle;

    as a result, to make our scripting a little easier, we added this package a long time ago;

    this makes the syntax for date functions mostly identical to SQL server, except some definitions have to be in single quotes for SQL server constants.

    so for example here's a SQL vs ORACLe example...let me know if this package helps you at all

    --SQL

    SELECT DATEADD(dd,14,getdate()); --2011-08-10 11:18:44.630

    --ORACLE

    SELECT DATEADD('dd',14,SYSDATE) FROM DUAL; --10-AUG-11 11.18.03.000000000 AM

    The package (i think)

    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE "YOURUSER"."SQLSERVER_UTILITIES" AS

    FUNCTION DATEADD(DATEINTERVAL VARCHAR2, VALUE NUMBER, DT TIMESTAMP) RETURN TIMESTAMP;

    FUNCTION DATEDIFF(DATEINTERVAL VARCHAR2, START_DATETIME DATE, END_DATETIME DATE) RETURN NUMBER;

    FUNCTION DATENAME(DATEINTERVAL VARCHAR2, DT TIMESTAMP) RETURN VARCHAR2;

    FUNCTION DATEPART(DATEINTERVAL VARCHAR2, DT TIMESTAMP) RETURN NUMBER;

    FUNCTION DAY(DT TIMESTAMP) RETURN NUMBER;

    FUNCTION MONTH(DT TIMESTAMP) RETURN NUMBER;

    FUNCTION YEAR(DT TIMESTAMP) RETURN NUMBER;

    FUNCTION SUBSTRING(CHAR_EXPRESION VARCHAR2, START_POSITION NUMBER, SUBSTRING_LENGTH NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2;

    FUNCTION LEFT(CHAR_EXPRESION VARCHAR2, SUBSTRING_LENGTH NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2;

    FUNCTION RIGHT(CHAR_EXPRESION VARCHAR2, SUBSTRING_LENGTH NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2;

    END SQLSERVER_UTILITIES; /

    Please help..

    Is this part of a Data Warehouse?

    If the answer is Yes, check your DIM_DATE dimension table, most probably there is already a 01/01/1970 based number column showing the proper number for every single date. Join against DIM_DATE and filter your 30 days on DIM_DATE.
