Convert a string date into datetime in Oracle

Question

How can I convert this string date to datetime in oracle.

2011-07-28T23:54:14Z

Using this code throws an error:

TO_DATE(\'2         


        

Answer 1

Try this: TO_DATE('2011-07-28T23:54:14Z', 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS"Z"')

Answer 2

You can use a cast to char to see the date results

 select to_char(to_date('17-MAR-17 06.04.54','dd-MON-yy hh24:mi:ss'), 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') from dual;

Answer 3

Hey I had the same problem. I tried to convert '2017-02-20 12:15:32' varchar to a date with TO_DATE('2017-02-20 12:15:32','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') and all I received was 2017-02-20 the time disappeared

My solution was to use TO_TIMESTAMP('2017-02-20 12:15:32','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') now the time doesn't disappear.
