Hi to all!
We have an old app that manages something that my boss
calls: boolean dates.
He told me that exists an algorithm that manages dates
as a boolean format.
We have several tables in this form:
Note: The following table: PAAM
has the field BDATE defined as NUMBER.
sql select bdate

06-DEC-2719
And here is the Julian date value for today...
SQL select to_char(sysdate,'J') from dual;
TO_CHAR

Hope this helps...

Hi JL,
try googling for JULIAN dates not boolean. A reason to use Julian dates
could be to allow arithmetic of dates to be either a simple plus or
minus returning the number of days. You still have to convert back and
forth to normal dates for display and human readability. You can see an

Nope. It's the dates according to the format invented by Booleous

Hello Jose,
Do you by chance mean Julian (not Boolean) dates? Oracle
does, in fact, handle those. For example, I just used the
following to convert one of your example dates to dd-Mon-yy
format:
SQL select to_date('728464','J') from dual;
TO_DATE('
