Can you be more specific please?
What message do you get, what is your column's datatype and what value format are you trying to insert?

Case 1: When u insert date in the default format,u just say :
insert into test1 values('23-jul-99')
Case2:when u r trying to insert date not in the default format,u have to use to_date function.

insert into test1 values(to_date('31/07/1999','dd/mm/yyyy'))

In both of the above cases,I assume that the column datatype is Date while table creation.
