Fix checkedin. > DATE function as documented in the manuals does not support integer > arguments. i.e. DATE(1232) does not work although the manual specifies that > this format will return a date field that is "x" number of days since day 0. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-161 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-161 > Project: Derby > Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Versions: 10.0.2.0 > Environment: Windows XP Professional SP 1 > Reporter: George Baklarz > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 10.1.0.0 > > The DATE function returns a date from a value. The argument must be a date, > timestamp, a positive number less than or equal to 3,652,059, a valid string > representation of a date or timestamp, or a string of length 7 that is not a > CLOB or LONG VARCHAR. If the argument is a string of length 7, it must > represent a valid date in the form yyyynnn, where yyyy are digits denoting a > year, and nnn are digits between 001 and 366, denoting a day of that year. > The result of the function is a date. If the argument can be null, the result > can be null; if the argument is null, the result is the null value. The other > rules depend on the data type of the argument specified: > - If the argument is a date, timestamp, or valid string representation of a > date or timestamp: The result is the date part of the value. > - If the argument is a number: The result is the date that is n-1 days > after January 1, 0001, where n is the integral part of the number. > - If the argument is a string with a length of 7: The result is the date > represented > The DATE function does not support integer argument. > ij> values date(12345); > ERROR 42846: Cannot convert types 'INTEGER' to 'DATE'. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
