Vipul,

    You need to break up the data into a time and date component. Julian date format does not include date. It's a problem that I have with out automatic test equipment where they report the date in Julian date & the time in clock ticks (Don't Ask, I did not write it). Thankfully they hand it over as two separate fields so that before inserting we can process it as follows:

to_date(:jdate,'J')+((:clock_ticks/18.206482)/86400)
