Oracle date format picture ends before converting entire input string

Question

My table has two DATE format attributes, however, when i try to insert value it throws an error: date format picture ends before converting entire input string.

Answer 1

I had this error today and discovered it was an incorrectly-formatted year...

select * from es_timeexpense where parsedate > to_date('12/3/2018', 'MM/dd/yyy')

Notice the year has only three 'y's. It should have 4.

Double-check your format.
