Hi,
How to insert dates (need to do some testing) into tables?
I am doing following at SQL prompt
insert into TRAN
values ('Jan/01/2007', 'Expense', 20, 'from', 'to', 'descr', 'main',
'sub', 'exotic', '1');
It gives me following error
Error code -1, SQL state 42821: Columns of type 'NUMERIC' cannot hold
values of type 'CHAR'.
Line 1, column 1
Execution finished after 0 s, 1 error(s) occurred.
I have also tried entering in following format:
insert into TRAN
values ('Jan-01-2007', 'Expense', 20, 'from', 'to', 'descr', 'main',
'sub', 'exotic', '1');
insert into TRAN
values ('01-01-2007', 'Expense', 20, 'from', 'to', 'descr', 'main',
'sub', 'exotic', '1');
insert into TRAN
values ('01/01/2007', 'Expense', 20, 'from', 'to', 'descr', 'main',
'sub', 'exotic', '1');
insert into TRAN
values ('2007-Jan-01', 'Expense', 20, 'from', 'to', 'descr', 'main',
'sub', 'exotic', '1');
Still getting the same error.
Can someone tell me how should I enter?
Also when I am populating this field from a form or populating from a
Java variable to store it in the Database, how can I control the format
e.g. YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY/DD/MM
Is there some doc that explains this in details?
I tried to search in the manuals and user guides and also did some
google ... but no luck.
Thanks
Dev.
