ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string

问题

The SQL works fine on most installations. However I'm having a problem with an Oracle installation in Canada (possible date localization issue?).

I'm feeding data to a proprietary processor that generates the SQL. I only provide data. I was hoping for information that may help me solve it without involving support from the processor.

回答1:

Do not rely on implicit date conversions.

Code like:

MY_TABLE.MY_DATE_COLUMN >= '03/07/2008'

is bad practice. Use either:

MY_TABLE.MY_DATE_COLUMN >= to_date('03/07/2008','mm/dd/yyyy')

or

MY_TABLE.MY_DATE_COLUMN >= date '2008-03-07'
