Hi all,

in my oracle table I have a column called :
processdate
datatype date.

Process date value in table is :
6/5/2018


trying to run the below query getting exception .

SELECT to_date(substr(:processdate, 1,10), 'mm/dd/YYYY') FROM table


if I enter processdate :
6/5/2018
it was throwing exception like
A-01843: not a valid month


please guide me what is wrong with this query.

Thanks inadvance.

What I have tried:

<pre>SELECT to_date(substr(:processdate, 1,10), 'mm/dd/YYYY') FROM table


if I enter processdate :
6/5/2018
it was throwing exception like
A-01843: not a valid month

Shouldn't that be 'M/D/YYYY', since you're not using leading zeros on the month and day numbers?

And the fact that you're using TO_DATE would suggest that your column's datatype is NOT date.

HI Richard,

Thx for the reply , but in database Process date datatype is date only.

I am not using leading zero's on the month and day numbers.

Assuming that a processdate field is a datetime data type and you want to reject/remove time part, you have to use TRUNC[^] function.
