cast (date as int)??

what is the equivalent function of "cast (date as int)" from sqlserver to Oracle?

Just guessing - maybe something like (as I know almost nothing about SQL Server):

SELECT TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(:some_date, 'J')) FROM my_table;

in sqlserver the query cast('01/01/2005' as int) return 38382

i try ur query it returns 2453403.
I don't know how sqlserver calculate this date formel.

Looks like SQL Server is returning days since 01/01/1900, so I think you would just adjust for the difference between that and Julian Date base, e.g.

Code:

---

SELECT TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (:some_date, 'J')) - 2415021
FROM  dual;

---

Thank's it's work
