Oracle date pattern to java date pattern

问题

Is there any utility that returns java.text.SimpleDateFormat pattern from Oracle to_char format pattern?

create or replace type type_sample as object (
  f_id number,
  f_name varchar2(100),
  f_start_date date,
  f_end_date date
)
/

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
  xmltype1            SYS.XMLType;
  message             type_sample;
BEGIN
  message := new type_sample(1, 'Manohar', current_date, sysdate);
  xmltype1 := XMLtype.createXML(message);
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('out_errm : '|| xmltype1.getStringVal());
END;
/

<TYPE_SAMPLE><F_ID>1</F_ID><F_NAME>Manohar</F_NAME><F_START_DATE>26-JAN-13</F_START_DATE>**<F_END_DATE>26-JAN-13</F_END_DATE>**</TYPE_SAMPLE>

I have the above XML coming form DataBase. Here the date format is coming in different formats based on the session the above code is run.

What I can do here is, can get that session's dateformat pattern from to java side. If I can convert that dateformat pattern(oracle db) to java.text.SimpleDateFormat pattern, my problem is solved. Can you please help me out?

I am not getting the expected answer here. May be my presentation is not explaining the problem clearly.

I will ask a straight forward question now. As far as i know java.text.SimpleDateFormat is after all an implementation of java.text.DateFormat. This implementation of DateFormat can understand the following pattern letters

G   Era designator
y   Year
M   Month in year
w   Week in year
W   Week in month
D   Day in year
d   Day in month
F   Day of week in month
E   Day in week
a   Am/pm marker
H   Hour in day (0-23)
k   Hour in day (1-24)
K   Hour in am/pm (0-11)
h   Hour in am/pm (1-12)
m   Minute in hour
s   Second in minute
S   Millisecond
z   Time zone
Z   Time zone

Are there any other implementations of java.text.DateFormat, which can understand some other pattern letter group? If any, please let me know.

回答1:

One of the dates from the XML is 26-JAN-13. That would be a SimpleDateFormat of "dd-MMM-yy"

SimpleDateFormat oracleFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
Date date = oracleFormat.parse(dateString);

Not quite what you were asking, but here's a different approach to avoid the uncertainty from the session's NLS parameters. You could make the conversion happen in the object, so you can use an explicit date format mask and it's already a string when you convert it to XML:

create or replace type type_sample as object (
    f_id number,
    f_name varchar2(100),
    f_start_date varchar2(10),
    f_end_date varchar2(10),
    constructor function type_sample(self in out nocopy type_sample,
        f_id number, f_name varchar2, f_start_date date, f_end_date date)
        return self as result
)
/

create or replace type body type_sample as
    constructor function type_sample(self in out nocopy type_sample,
        f_id number, f_name varchar2, f_start_date date, f_end_date date)
        return self as result is
    begin
        self.f_id := f_id;
        self.f_name := f_name;
        self.f_start_date := to_char(f_start_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD');
        self.f_end_date := to_char(f_end_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD');
        return;
    end;
end;
/

There's no change to how you create the object:

set serveroutput on
declare
    xmltype1 sys.xmltype;
    message type_sample;
begin
    message := new type_sample(1, 'Manohar', current_date, sysdate);
    xmltype1 := xmltype.createxml(message);
    dbms_output.put_line('out_errm : '|| xmltype1.getStringVal());
end;
/

out_errm : <TYPE_SAMPLE><F_ID>1</F_ID><F_NAME>Manohar</F_NAME><F_START_DATE>2013-02-04</F_START_DATE><F_END_DATE>2013-02-04</F_END_DATE></TYPE_SAMPLE>

The date is always in YYYY-MM-DD format in the XML, regardless of the session's NLS_DATE_FORMAT (which happens to be DD-MON-RR in this session). You could use whatever fixed format you want of course, you just need to agree that format between the object and Java.

(I suppose I'm assuming this is the only thing the object will be used for; otherwise putting dates into strings isn't a good idea...).
