TO_DATE function in ORACLE

Question

I was trying the TO_DATE function. Specifically, I noted that the following queries

1. SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(\'01-01-2015\',\'DD-MM-YYYY\'),\'DD-MO         


        

Answer 1

The output format of TO_CHAR is not correct, try:

SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01-01-2015','DD-MM-YYYY'),'DD-MM-YYYY') FROM DUAL;
