    to store in date column of a table


    the varchar2 value is coming like this

    dt_val := 'Wed Feb 18 07:00:00 IST 2004',

    'dd/mon/yyyy hh:mi:ss am' and insert into a table

    To inserted such strings into date column you would use:
    Code:
    INSERT INTO my_table(my_date_col) VALUES
    (TO_DATE('Wed Feb 18 07:00:00 IST 2004',
             'Dy Mon dd hh24:mi:ss "IST" yyyy');
    To display such stored date in format you want for output, you would use:
    Code:
    SELECT TO_CHAR(my_date_col, 'dd/mon/yyyy hh:mi:ss am')
    FROM my_table;
