That's around the time that a Pope wanted to fix the calendar to get it to = match the seasons and threw out about 10 days in October for a particular = year (may very well have been 1582).

Here we are using following SQL:

select to_date('5-OCT-1582','DD-MON-YYYY') from dual;

which is returning 15-OCT-1582, instead of 05-OCT-1582

Any Clue ?
