Scott, Aby,

TO_DATE is the oracle date format.
{ts ... is the ODBC date format

Scott is using an ODBC driver to access Oracle.
I suggest switching to the native driver.

usage

                Scott,

                When I look at the RBBMS Service log, for a date field I
find something like
                this:

                >> TO_DATE('1999/12/15 00:00:00','YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS') <<

                Yes, ND creates this TO_DATE() with matching format and
value strings. I am
                confused by what I see in your log :

                >> {ts '1999-12-15 00:00:00.000'} <<

                I don't know what if means. Probably would require some
investigation.

                Aby
