Harvinder,

If you want time in a date column, you've got to tell Oracle what to put in there, otherwise it assumes 00:00:00. In your statement there is no time therefore none got recorded. So what you need is:

insert into dd
values(to_date('04-JUL-01 23:59:59','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS');

Another way to look at it is to try:

select to_char(to_date('01-JUL-01'),'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') from dual;

Hi,

I have a table with colum defined as date datatype ..for example

create table dd(dd date);

when we insert into this table like :

insert into dd values('04-jul-01');

when we do select as:

select to_char(dd,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dd;

the result displayed is :

TO_CHAR(DD,'DD-MON-Y

04-JUL-2002 00:00:00 our application requires time to store as 23:59:59 and not as 00:00:00(midnight)....

How can i make a check or apply some rule that whenever someone inserts into

this column time always added as 23:59:59........

Thanks

Harvinder
