I know T-SQL on MS SQL Server has functions that allow for date formatting. Maybe something similar exists for Oracle.
Karl -----Original Message----- From: Keith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 1:18 PM To: Taglibs Subject: Display Taglib & Dates I just got the Display taglib to try and make some of my job a little easier. Things seemed to be going good til I ran across the problem of a date field. I'm pulling from an Oracle database, so the following query: <sql:query var="projects"> SELECT a.project_id, a.project_name, a.kickoff_date FROM project_main a ORDER BY project_id DESC </sql:query> returns something like this: 10016 Project1234 2004-07-15 00:00:00.0 I'd like to format the date field to look like this: 15-Jul-2004 Before, I just used the <fmt:formatDate> tag, but I'm at a loss for how to use it in conjuction with the display taglib. I tried using the TO_CHAR function in the database query to format my date beforehand, but then it doesn't return any date information at all. Any help?
