I am trying to get count from one of the table by using date but date value is stored as string like 20000603 it is VARCHAR2 field
Begin SELECT count(*) into dt FROM employee where to_date(year_month_day,'YYYYMMDD') = to_date('20000603','YYYYMMDD'); End; It is throwing an error saying not a valid month when I execute this in Toad. Same thing if I execute like below It works fine. select next_day(to_date('20000603','YYYYMMDD')-7,'SUNDAY') into dt from employee where rownum = 1; Please let me know if any one knows why it is giving an error. -- Thanks & Regards Swaroop Thailuru Swamy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Oracle PL/SQL" group.
