Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: how to define date column in a table with only mm/dd/yyyy
It doesn't matter what you store in the field. It must have the column =
type "DATE". Oracle will automatically add the hours, minutes, and seconds =
of 00-00-00 if you enter a date of MM-DD-YYYY into the field. To make sure =
that you are only getting the MM-DD-YYYY in the output use the truncate =
command in your querry.

Hi All,
I have table that contains a column - TRADE_DATE.
This column should always contain only the date portion - mm/dd/yyyy. It SHOULD NOT contain time portion.
Is there any way, I can define this column or can I use some kind of constraint clauses on this column? If yes, please tell me how to do this.
TIA, Rao
