SQL日期格式查询

Question

I'm trying to insert a data into a table, but I face a problem in date syntax, I need to present the year with 4 digit.

This is what I have done:

create table ee  
(
    empno number(3), 
    ename VARCHAR2(24), 
    sal number(4), 
    hiredate Date
);

Insert into ee (empno, ename, sal, hiredate)
Values (200, 'Ahmed', 4000, to_date('01/01/2008', 'dd/mm/yyyy'));

and the result is that (01-JAN-08)

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

You code is fine. That is just the default format for query results. That said, I would recommend a date constant:

Insert into ee (empno, ename, sal, hiredate)
    Values (200, 'Ahmed', 4000, date '2008-01-01');

If you want to see the result differently, you can use to_char() :

to_char(hiredate, 'YYYY-MM-DD')
