    Please help me to write a query (Date)

    Hello All,

    I want to insert all dates between two dates in a table (oracle 10g). The target table is.

    CREATE TABLE SEN_DATE (CALENDAR_DATE DATE, DAY NUMBER(3),DAY_NAME VARCHAR2(10), MONTH NUMBER(3),MONTH_NAME VARCHAR2(10),YEAR nuMBER(7));

    To get dates between two dates I have used the following query.

    SELECT TO_DATE('01-JAN-2001','DD-MON-YYYY') + (ROWNUM - 1) new_date
    FROM ALL_OBJECTS
    WHERE TO_DATE('01-JAN-2001','DD-MON-YYYY') + (ROWNUM - 1) <=
    TO_DATE('16-MAY-2001','DD-MON-YYYY');

    The above query works fine and return all the dates, but the format is 1/1/2001, 1/2/2001... and so on till 05/16/2001. But I want to insert the records in the target table dd-mon-yyyy format in the date format and other relevant information like month number, month name, day_number, day_name based on the target table (Sen_date).

    Please help to write the query.

    Thanks in advance,

    Senthil

    Dates don't have any inherent format -- they are converted to strings in some display format either based on the settings of your client, or your server, or through a specified date format picture.

    If you want to view them in a particular format then try
    Code:
    alter session set nls_date_format = 'dd-mon-yyyy'

    Hi,
    You can try this. Hope this solution fills u r requirements.

    SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01-JAN-2001','DD-MON-YYYY') + (ROWNUM - 1),'dd-MON-YYYY') new_date
    FROM ALL_OBJECTS
    WHERE TO_DATE('01-JAN-2001','DD-MON-YYYY') + (ROWNUM - 1) <=
    TO_DATE('16-MAY-2001','DD-MON-YYYY');


    Thanks & Regards
