I hope the name of the column in the table - "BDATE" - doesn't stand for "BOOLEAN DATE" - otherwise you'll have to rename it too, to "JDATE"!
;-) >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 24/10/2003 1:29:41 >>> List... I finally found the answer about the infamous 'boolean dates'! (this was the term that my boss used when he told me about the dates... boolean dates). After receiving a lot of mails talking about Julian dates... I started to test in that way. I could find the following which is the solution to my problem. sql> select bdate, to_date(bdate + 1721436, 'J') tdate sql> from paam sql> where rownum < 6; BDATE TDATE ------- -------- 728464 01-JUL-95 728434 01-JUN-95 728403 01-MAY-95 728495 01-AUG-95 728283 01-JAN-95 As you can see the key is: 1721436 Thanks again to all!
