Oracle - literal does not match format string error [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try this SQL:

INSERT INTO CatalogueEntry 
              VALUES(to_date('2001-12-10','yyyy-mm-dd'), 2, 14.99, 1, 0);

Answer 2

When you are inserting a string value to a date column, then you need to convert it to a date during the INSERT using the to_date() function. When using this function you will provide the format of the string.

to_date() function format:

to_date( string1, [ format_mask ], [ nls_language ] )

So your query will be like this:

insert into CatalogueEntry
values
(
  to_date('2001-12-10', 'yyyy-mm-dd'),
  2,
  14.99,
  1,
  0);
